Geographical Indications (GIs) are the characteristic resource base for realizing rural revitalization, and it is particularly important to recognize the progress of research on GIs. We aimed to map domestic geographical indications research knowledge by related literature. Specifically, we obtained 921 research papers on geographical indication studies from 1994-2022 by filtering keywords through core Chinese journals, and then to explore the issuance stage, author institutions, research hotspots, and the evolution of the subject matter by means of CiteSpace V. 6. 1. R3, and then summarized the research insights by combining with literature reading. The statistical analysis of the literature showed that the research on geographical indications developed most rapidly from 2004 to 2011, the cooperative network of authors engaged in research on geographical indications was few and the scale was small, Xianning College was a high-frequency issuer, and Anhui Agricultural Science and Intellectual Property contained the most articles. The research hotspots covered 7 major clustering themes of geographical indications, agricultural products, intellectual property, trademark law, WTO, protection and rural revitalization. Geographical indications first appeared before 2000 and was the only hot topic. Since 2000, the research topics had gradually expanded into five major themes, and these research hotspots were formed between 2000 and 2004. Since 2004, there had rich subject branches but with a short development cycle. Each theme presented different evolution characteristics. Based on the analysis of cluster themes and keywords, it was found that geographical indications product connotation, geographical indications trademark protection, geographical indications and rural revitalization become the frontier hotspots in the field of geographical indications research. Geographical indications research was important to agricultural economic development and rural industrial revitalization. Domestic studies were rich in research results on intellectual property rights, protection mode, economic benefits, brand building and industrialization development of GI products. While considering the sustainable development, it was necessary to examine both the protection and development of geographical indication products from a ‘local’ perspective. Specially, it was important to integrate the strengths of geography and other multidisciplinary fields to promote the sustainable development of geographical indication products.

It is of great significance to study the development of forest and fruit industry in Xinjiang, so as to increase farmers’ income, to promote the development of rural economy and to realize the comprehensive revitalization of rural areas. Based on the database of China National Knowledge Network, we took the literature of ‘Xinjiang forest and fruit industry’ as the research object, used CiteSpace software to analyze the annual number of publications, research institutions, authors and keywords. The results showed that the number of published papers fluctuated greatly and the number was small, and the number was on the rise in the past two years. The research institutions were mainly concentrated in agricultural colleges and universities, and some were concentrated in scientific research institutions. The team with Emiti Rouzi and Sidikejiang Aifu as the core had the most abundant research achievements, but had not yet formed a stable core group of authors. The research focused on brand construction, development countermeasures, characteristic fruit, fruit products, industry development, mechanization and so on. The future research should strengthen the cooperation between research units and authors, innovate research perspectives, expand research content, promote the integration of multiple disciplines, combine the development of Xinjiang forest and fruit industry with the implementation of rural revitalization strategy, and promote the high-quality development of Xinjiang forest and fruit industry.
