BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: The school foodservice is a facility that offers catering services to students and exerts a significant influence on their well-being and academic performance. Hence, it is crucial to comprehend the present global research status and development trends of school foodservice over the last decade, investigate their future direction of progress and enhancement strategies, offer guidance to school canteen managers and policymakers, and foster the wholesome advancement of school foodservice.
MATERIALS/METHODS: The Web of Science (WoS) core collection was utilized as the data source to search for publications pertaining to the topics of school foodservices, school meals, and school foodservice/cafeterias. Subsequently, the CiteSpace software, a widely used tool for the visual exploration of scientific literature, was used for a visual study of the literature published on the topic.
A total of 1,500 papers published between the years 2013 and 2023 were selected from the WoS core collection and analyzed using CiteSpace. The research findings indicated that the primary areas of interest since 2013 in overseas research on school foodservice were centered around concerns regarding food quality, food waste, operational models including new methods and the correlation between coronavirus pneumonia and other related factors.
Future studies should focus on the utilization of emerging technologies, global efforts, and the development and implementation of policies and regulations on food safety in school foodservice. This will offer both theoretical backing and practical direction for advancing the sustainable development of school foodservice.
背景/目的：学校餐饮服务是为学生提供餐饮服务的设施，对学生的健康和学业成绩有重大影响。因此，了解过去十年全球学校餐饮服务的研究现状和发展趋势，探究其未来的发展方向和改进策略，为学校食堂管理者和政策制定者提供指导，促进学校餐饮服务的健康发展至关重要。
材料/方法：以科学网（WoS）核心合集作为数据源，搜索与学校餐饮服务、学校膳食以及学校餐饮服务/食堂等主题相关的出版物。随后，使用CiteSpace软件（一种广泛用于科学文献可视化探索的工具）对该主题发表的文献进行可视化研究。
从WoS核心合集中选取了2013年至2023年间发表的1500篇论文，并使用CiteSpace进行分析。研究结果表明，自2013年以来，海外学校餐饮服务研究的主要关注领域集中在食品质量、食物浪费、包括新方法在内的运营模式以及新冠肺炎与其他相关因素之间的关联等方面。
未来的研究应聚焦于新兴技术的应用、全球合作以及学校餐饮服务食品安全政策法规的制定与实施。这将为推动学校餐饮服务的可持续发展提供理论支持和实践指导。
