Resources are essential for human survival and development, and resource security occupies an important position in national security. With the increasing resource shortage problem, ecological stability is facing severe challenges. All countries are actively seeking new sustainable development ways to deal with various issues and shocks caused by the shortage of resources. This study aims to systematically and comprehensively evaluate the knowledge structure, research hotspots, and resource security evolution trends. Based on the number of 6391 articles retrieved from the Web of Science database from 1990 to 2021, this article carried out a visual analysis of global resource security research from the perspectives of scientific output characteristics, keywords, and highly cited literature scientific collaboration networks and hotspot emergence analysis. The research results show that after humans have experienced new public safety incidents, their understanding of resource security and sustainable development has risen to a new height. The number of relevant documents is increasing rapidly. At present, the research on resource security is still dominated by developed countries in Europe and America. This study finds that "food supply chain," "water availability," and "soil resources suitability" are the frontiers and hotspots in the field of resource security. Besides, "biodiversity," "mineral resource security," "medical and health resources" are important topics and directions of current research. This study provides a theoretical basis for scholars to explore the future research direction and practice of resource security, to achieve ecological stability and sustainable development.
资源是人类生存和发展的必要条件，资源安全在国家安全中占有重要地位。随着资源短缺问题的日益加剧，生态稳定面临着严峻的挑战。各国都在积极寻求新的可持续发展方式，以应对资源短缺带来的各种问题和冲击。本研究旨在系统全面地评估全球资源安全的知识结构、研究热点和资源安全演变趋势。本文基于 1990 年至 2021 年从 Web of Science 数据库中检索到的 6391 篇文章，从科学产出特征、关键词、高被引文献科学合作网络和热点出现分析等角度，对全球资源安全研究进行了可视化分析。研究结果表明，人类经历新的公共安全事件后，对资源安全和可持续发展的认识上升到了新的高度，相关文献数量迅速增加。目前，资源安全研究仍以欧美发达国家为主导。本研究发现，“粮食供应链”、“水资源可用性”和“土壤资源适宜性”是资源安全领域的前沿和热点。此外，“生物多样性”、“矿产资源安全”、“医疗和卫生资源”是当前研究的重要课题和方向。本研究为学者探索资源安全的未来研究方向和实践提供了理论基础，以实现生态稳定和可持续发展。
