Current Situation, Hot Spots and Prospects of “Two Combinations”: Research Visualization Analysis Based on CNKI

As the fundamental principle of continuing to promote the modernization of Marxism in China in the new era, the “two combinations” is a hot topic in current academic research. With the help of CiteSpace and VOSviewer software, a visual quantitative analysis of 666 related core journal articles collected by CNKI from July 1,2021 to December 31,2024 was conducted. The results show that the research on “two combinations” shows an upward trend year by year;the research team has initially formed a scale, and the research results are quite rich, and the relevant cooperation shows the characteristics of internal and adjacent cooperation, both large-scale dispersion and small-scale agglomeration;the existing research comprehensively explains the generation logic, internal relationship, value implication and realization path of the “two combinations”, but there are some problems, such as serious homogenization of research content, single research topic and lack of nuanced research perspective. In the future, we should find a unique research perspective, expand the research cooperation network and strengthen the problem orientation.
