: The field of child and adolescent psychiatry lags behind adult psychiatry significantly. In recent years, it has witnessed a significant increase in the publication of journals and articles. This study provides a detailed bibliometric analysis of articles published from 1980 to 2016, in the top seven journals of child and adolescent psychiatry. : Using the Web of Science core collection, we selected 9,719 research papers published in seven psychiatric journals from 1980 to 2016. We utilized the Web of Science Analytics tool and Network Analysis Interface for Literature Studies (NAILS) Project scripts to delineate the general trends of publication in these journals. Then, co-citation analysis and hierarchical cluster analysis was performed using CiteSpace to map important papers, landmark theories and foci of research in child and adolescent psychiatry. : The field of child and adolescent psychiatry has experienced an increasing trend in research, which was reflected in the results of this study. Hierarchical cluster analysis revealed that the research foci in psychiatry were primarily studies related to the design of psychometric instruments, checklists, taxonomy, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), depression, PTSD, social phobia, and psychopharmacology. Moreover, several landmark studies, including the validation of a child behavior checklist, Ainsworth's empirical evidence of Bowlby's attachment theory, and adult outcomes of childhood dysregulation were published. This study also reports rapid expansion and innovation in research areas in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry from 1980-2016. : Rapid expansion and innovation in research areas in the field of child and adolescent psychiatry has been observed, from 1980 to 2016.
儿童与青少年精神病学领域明显落后于成人精神病学领域。近年来，该领域期刊和文章的发表数量显著增加。本研究对1980年至2016年期间发表在儿童与青少年精神病学领域排名前七的期刊上的文章进行了详细的文献计量分析。：利用科学网核心合集，我们选取了1980年至2016年期间在七本精神病学期刊上发表的9719篇研究论文。我们使用科学网分析工具和文献研究网络分析接口（NAILS）项目脚本，来描绘这些期刊的总体发表趋势。然后，使用CiteSpace进行共被引分析和层次聚类分析，以绘制儿童与青少年精神病学领域的重要论文、标志性理论和研究热点。：儿童与青少年精神病学领域的研究呈增长趋势，本研究结果也反映了这一点。层次聚类分析表明，精神病学的研究热点主要是与心理测量工具设计、检查表、分类学、注意力缺陷多动障碍（ADHD）、抑郁症、创伤后应激障碍（PTSD）、社交恐惧症和精神药理学相关的研究。此外，还发表了几项具有里程碑意义的研究，包括儿童行为检查表的验证、安斯沃思对鲍尔比依恋理论的实证证据，以及儿童调节障碍的成人后果。本研究还报告了1980 - 2016年期间儿童与青少年精神病学领域研究领域的快速扩展和创新。：从1980年到2016年，观察到儿童与青少年精神病学领域研究领域的快速扩展和创新。
