To accurately grasp the research trends and evolution of hot topics in the field of scientific and technological project management, bibliometric methods were employed to analyze the knowledge maps of literature from CNKI and WOS databases on the subject of scientific and technological project management. The analysis covered multiple dimensions including publication scale, keyword co-occurrence, research clustering and emergent themes. The results are as follows. Over the decade from 2014 to 2023, research in the field of scientific and technological project management has shown an overall stable trend, but with a slight decline in publication volume in recent years. This trend may reflect a gradual shift in the focus of research in this field. The research themes in scientific and technological project management primarily encompass policy innovation, fund supervision, management models, implementing entities, achievement transformation, and performance monitoring and evaluation. The scope of research in scientific and technological project management has received scholarly attention across all stages from project initiation and execution to achievement transformation, effectively covering the entire project lifecycle. Moreover, innovation in management tools and methods has become a significant research direction. Based on the analysis of keyword emergence intensity, the timeline of research in scientific and technological project management can be divided into two stages, that is the growth period (2014-2018) and the maturity period (2019-2023).
