The concept of research frontier refers to the boundaries and limits of current research in a certain field. Research frontiers usually represent the latest and most advanced knowledge and research directions in a field, and they mark the forefront of scientific and technological development. In bibliometrics, research frontier usually refers to the latest and most forward-looking research directions and topics in a certain subject field. Bibliometrics is often used to analyse and identify research frontiers in specific subject areas. According to C. Chen(2006) , the frontier of research demonstrates the formation of theoretical tendencies and novel topics.
