The application of scientific research ** is imminent, what is the progress of the preparation of the teachers' declaration? Today, I would like to recommend to you a good helper for bibliometric analysis to help the best application and scientific research management - Wenyuan Zhige ** project data analysis platform. 
If you haven't decided on a specific topic yetIt is recommended that you first have an in-depth understanding of the hot issues and cutting-edge issues of your discipline over the years. Hot spot analysisAccording to the discipline, annual scope and number of topics you specify, you can accurately explore the most popular academic topics in the discipline over the years, help you quickly understand the research projects that other scholars in the discipline are most concerned about, and comprehensively understand the distribution and trend of the popular topics in the discipline. Taking "Foreign Literature" as an example, the system has helped us find 15 (the number is customized, you can choose 1-20) hot research topics in the past ten years (Figure 1), and the annual distribution trend of these topics (Figure 2) tells us some interesting situations: the topic "United States" has obvious regularity (Figure 3), and according to the data, 2024 will be the next peak of approval; There are also topics that are no longer approved (as shown in Figure 4), which can be used as an exclusion reference when applying for topic selection. 
Figure 1From 2013 to 2023, the top 15 high-frequency research topics of the discipline of "Foreign Literature".

Fig. 4 The cross-annual development trend of "writing research", a high-frequency research topic in the discipline of "Foreign Literature" from 2013 to 2023.
Cutting-edge discoveriesAccording to the discipline and annual scope (in the past 1-5 years), you can accurately explore the latest research topics in the subject area, and help you closely follow the frontier of the discipline. Taking "foreign literature" as an example, the top 20 new research topics (the number is customized, 1-20 can be selected) in the discipline in the past ten years include post-World War II, community thought, literary interpretation, Chinese mythology, criticism of modernity, American sinology studies, community studies, etc., and the total number shows a relatively regular sine wave trend (Figure 5), and it is foreseeable that the number of project approvals for cutting-edge topics in 2024 will be relatively large, and you can inspire thinking from this aspect. Each topic has its own cross-year project establishment trend, which can assist the project topic to inspire thinking.

Fig. 6 The cross-year distribution trend of the frontier research topic "literary interpretation" in the discipline of "Foreign Literature" from 2013 to 2023.
If you already have a preliminary idea of choosing a topic, you can further observe the project trends of the topic you are interested in over the years, as well as the research overview of related projects. Heat analysisIt helps you accurately analyze the research topic and research trend that you are interested in in your specified discipline and years, and helps you quickly understand the distribution and trend of the specified topic in the academic literature. Taking foreign literature as an example, if you want to study "poetics", let's take a look at the heat analysis, and through the annual distribution (Figure 7), we can see that the approval of this topic is relatively flat, but there are also approvals every year, and there is a high probability that there will still be approvals in 2024, but the number will not be large, and the competition is quite large. So, what other topics can be studied in relation to this topic? The co-occurrence diagram (Fig. 8) on the topic of "poetics" can be used as inspiration.
Fig. 7 Annual distribution of "poetics" research topics from 2013 to 2023.
Fig.8 Co-occurrence map of "poetics" research topic projects from 2013 to 2023.
Project searchThrough the discipline, category, region, approval year, project name, project leader, unit and keywords single item quick search, combined advanced search, to help you quickly and accurately locate the ideal matching results in a large number of scientific research projects, and help you inspire topic selection reference. In the heat analysis, I learned about the macro trends and co-occurrence topics of "poetics"-related projects, so what are the specific projects? We can check it through the project search. Through the project search, 26 projects related to the topic of "poetics" in the past ten years under the discipline of "foreign literature" were systematically excavated, and the overview of the relevant projects was clear at a glance (Figure 9). Through the inspiration of the discipline distribution knowledge graph, we learned that this topic is also distributed in other disciplines, and we also obtained other topics where this topic frequently occurs in different disciplines, which further opens up our research ideas and directions, and also provides information reference for us to carefully consider the topic selection and application disciplines.

If you already have a clear proposal in mindYou may also need to carefully choose the discipline you want to declare, and pay attention to the entry angle of similar topics to your topic in the past years. Project searchIt can help you gain inspiration from previous experience, so as to scientifically plan the application angle and subject selection. Through accurate analysis of project approval data, you can better understand the preferences of the review committee, prepare application materials in a targeted manner, and improve the success rate of application. For example, if you are planning to choose a topic related to "translation", you should choose "linguistics" according to the general rule. However, in fact, in the past ten years, there have been 57 successful projects in the linguistics category of "translation"-related projects (Fig. 10), and there are 228 projects on the topic of "translation" in the past ten years without setting specific disciplines (Fig. 11), and only 25% of the successful scientific research projects on the topic of "translation" that we have conventionally known as "translation" have been established, which is far from our conventional understanding. What other related disciplines can I declare? The subject distribution knowledge graph provides you with ideas (Figure 12).

If you want to get further enlightenment on scientific declaration, you can enter the project details, analyze the entry point of similar topics, and understand the research content of the project based on the relevant results on the project details page, so as to assist us in making application decisions. For example, in the whole discipline search "translation" related projects, although the project "Excavation, Translation and Research of Historical Materials of Modern Japanese Military Gazetteers in China (1921-1945)" also studies translation, it starts from history, so the declared discipline is "Chinese history"; The details of the project "Translation and Research of Classical Chinese Poetry in Russia" show that the application is Chinese literature (Fig. 13), and you can click on the output entry to enter the details**The research content of the entire project (Fig. 14), and you can also get a glimpse of the research direction and expertise of the scholar from other projects in charge.

If you are a research managerThe project data analysis function of Wenyuan Zhige ** displays the project data of the past years for you in an all-round way with a multi-dimensional visual map, and provides strong support for you to write analysis reports and formulate scientific research strategies of the unit. Project analysis helps you quickly find the regional distribution, annual distribution trend, discipline distribution and category distribution under your selected conditions from the ideal database, so as to provide data support for you to understand the macro scientific research status and establish scientific research decisions. If you want to quickly understand the research strength and development trends of a particular school, you can define the name of the school and analyze it. Taking Wuhan University as an example, the results of project establishment analysis in the past ten years are visualized as follows (Figure 15-17):

If you want to get a quick overview of the research status in a particular disciplineto define the subject name and learn more about the analysis. If you want to get a quick overview of the research capabilities of a regionto define the name of the province and learn more about the analysis. If you want to compare the project approval situation in all regions of the country horizontally, or look at the development of the project in general, you can set only the analysis period for analysis. The following is the analysis results of the macro project establishment of the national social sciences since 1991 (Figure 18-21).
