In order to further analyze the current research status of Chinese academic circles on community governance in the new era, CiteSpace software was used to analyze the number of publications, institutional cooperation, scholars, keywords and other aspects of the research literature on "community governance" collected by China National Knowledge Network (CNKI) from 2012 to 2023.It is found that the number of papers published in the field of "community governance" has generally shown an upward trend, but there are deficiencies. For example, the cooperation between research institutions and scholars is not close, showing an isolated state. Therefore, it is suggested to strengthen the research cooperation and exchange between research institutions and scholars, and use knowledge of various disciplines to study problems from different perspectives.
