Evolution of Knowledge Structure in an Emerging Field Based on a Triple Helix Model: the Case of Smart Factory

As an important emerging field of science and technology, smart factories have received attention from academia, industry, the government. Currently, although some scholars examined research trends in factories, we not found any on analysis knowledge output relevant organizations among factories. An urgent problem is whether cooperation between with different characteristics will affect overall development intelligent This study aimed to perform a comprehensive content structure factory its production structure. We also evaluated triple helix was stable, topics issues were similar. The model used three aspects factory: university, government, industry. Furthermore, contents analyzed detail using network analysis. It that funding at national level leads spillover effect. After 2015, formed which maintained certain stability until 2020. has significant impact. University focuses more extensively intensively government macro aspects, Industry 5.0 become hotspot industry research. needs provide new platforms integrate promote
