Abstract:

Degree thesis quality comprehensively reflects postgraduates' innovation ability, scientific research ability and scientific research level. The aim of this paper is to review and analysis the current status and trends of research on the quality of postgraduate thesis in China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI) and Web of Science (WoS) from 2004 to 2024 using visual analysis methods. The results of research found that both literatures of CNKI and WoS pay more and more attention to the research on the quality of postgraduate thesis. The number of relevant papers in CNKI has increased in the past five years, and the research focuses on the factors influencing the quality, the evaluation standards and the strategies for improving the quality. Researchers have published 105 articles in WoS from 2004 to 2024, with three stages of development, focusing on quality assurance of postgraduate education and thesis, the thesis itself, and the attitudes. The analysis of keyword clustering and timeline spectrum at CNKI and WoS shows that although the research hotspots and directions have their own focuses, they are all centered on the core of thesis quality.
