Abstract: The field of coalbed methane (CBM) is well recognized as being able to provide clean fuels and reduce carbon dioxide emissions, thereby helping to reduce global warming. It is an effective solution to the problem of global climate change. Given the importance of CBM research on sustainable development, we have developed a comprehensive and powerful visualization of Chinese CBM research to help other peers obtain a quick and efficient understanding of the current situation and development of CBM research in China. This method, by using CiteSpace, also represents a paradigm shift in our way of dealing with the large volume of scientific publications and could change the way literature searches and reviews are conducted, as well as how the impact of specific work is assessed.
