Analysis and Enhancement Strategies for China’s International Academic Discourse Power in Sports Science

Against the backdrop of accelerating the establishment of China's distinctive discourse system in social sciences, the research on the current status, evolutionary patterns, influencing factors, and enhancement strategies of China's sports science international academic discourse power is of significant importance. Employing methods such as bibliometrics and logical analysis on papers within the field of sports science gathered from the Web of Science core database, it is noted that China's academic influence is steadily growing, that China's academic leadership is continually advancing, and that China's academic competitiveness is strengthening. However, a noticeable gap remains when compared to the major sports science output countries in Europe and America. The primary factors influencing China's sports science international academic discourse power include insufficient quantity and quality of academic output, differences in major research areas and hotspots between domestic and foreign studies,limited international cooperation in sports science research, relatively low levels of academic institution and platform construction,insignificant academic reputation, and a lack of well-known scholars. The study suggests that to enhance China's sports science international academic discourse power, efforts should be directed towards consolidating the foundation of academic research,establishing international cooperation and exchange mechanisms in sports science, improving the quality and impact of academic achievements in sports science, cultivating well-known scholars and academic leaders in sports science, enhancing the construction of communication platforms in sports science, and paying attention to the international academic development trends in sports science.
