ABSTRACT

The construction of "new liberal arts" is a new liberal arts education model that improves on the shortcomings of traditional liberal arts teaching. The construction of "new liberal arts" can promote the integration of traditional liberal arts teaching and contemporary information technology, thereby cultivating compound talents with cross-disciplinary knowledge of liberal arts and science. This study aims to use the bibliometric software Citespace and VOSviewer to analysis the relevant journal papers in HowNet for comprehensive analysis. Through quantitative research, intuitive results such as the research status, research clustering, and research frontiers of the "new liberal arts" are obtained. Through comprehensive analysis, it is found that digital literacy, digital design, and digital economy are the current research frontiers of the "new liberal arts" construction. The conclusions of this study provide objective reference materials for the current construction of the "new liberal arts".
