Numerous students suffer from academic procrastination; it is a common problem and phenomenon in academic settings. Many previous researchers have analyzed its relationships with other factors, such as self-regulation and academic success. This paper aims to provide a full outline of academic procrastination and explore the current hot spots and trends. Bibliometrix and VOSviewer were used to conduct quantitative analysis. The data was collected from the Web of Science core collection database, which contains 1,240 articles from the years 1938 to 2021. The analysis shows that the publication of articles on academic procrastination has been rapidly increasing since 1993. In terms of the most influential countries and institutions, the United states took a prominent lead among all countries, and the most productive institutions in this area were the University of Washington and University of California, Los Angeles. By analyzing the authors, we see that most authors like working with a few collaborators, leading to main groups of authors, such as Murat Balkis and June J. Pilcher. The most frequently cited author was Esther D. Rothblum. Based on the co-citation journals network, was the prolific and influential journal referring to the number of citations and articles it received. The VOSviewer tool identified the hot spots of academic procrastination, which were mainly distributed as follows: (a) procrastination, (b) academic procrastination, (c) self-regulation, (d) academic performance, and (e) motivation. Therefore, this paper is helpful for scholars and practitioners to know the trend of academic procrastination research comprehensively.
许多学生都存在学业拖延的问题；这是学术环境中一个常见的问题和现象。许多先前的研究人员已经分析了它与其他因素的关系，比如自我调节和学业成就。本文旨在全面概述学业拖延，并探索当前的热点和趋势。使用文献计量学和VOSviewer进行定量分析。数据从科学网核心合集数据库收集，该数据库包含1938年至2021年的1240篇文章。分析表明，自1993年以来，关于学业拖延的文章发表量一直在迅速增加。在最具影响力的国家和机构方面，美国在所有国家中占据显著领先地位，该领域产出最多的机构是华盛顿大学和加利福尼亚大学洛杉矶分校。通过对作者的分析，我们发现大多数作者喜欢与少数合作者合作，从而形成了主要的作者群体，比如穆拉特·巴尔基斯和琼·J·皮尔彻。被引用最多的作者是埃丝特·D·罗思布卢姆。基于共被引期刊网络， 是多产且有影响力的期刊，这是参照其收到的引用次数和文章数量而言的。VOSviewer工具确定了学业拖延的热点，主要分布如下：（a）拖延，（b）学业拖延，（c）自我调节，（d）学业成绩，以及（e）动机。因此，本文有助于学者和从业者全面了解学业拖延研究的趋势。
