Abstract: We analyzed 598 papers on Antarctic science published by Chinese authors, sourced from the Web of Science (SCIE, SSCI, and A&HCI). The papers were analyzed using TDA and Ucinet software, based on the year of publication, authors, cooperating countries, research institutes, journals, and cited frequency. We found that Chinese scientists cooperated most frequently with scientists from the United States, Australia, Britain, and Germany. The institutes involved in research included the Chinese Academy of Sciences, the Polar Research Institute of China, the University of Science and Technology of China, and the State Oceanic Administration. The main journals for publication were Chinese Science Bulletin, Polar Biology, and Acta Geophysica Sinica, and the cited frequency of papers on Antarctic research by Chinese scientists was increasing over time.
