Abstract:

[Objective] Chemical automatic synthesis machine is a major frontier scientific problem involving synthetic science, information science, computer science, and other disciplines. Accurately analyzing and judging its research trend is an important premise and foundation for China's accurate layout of research in this field. [Methods] First, based on the strategic planning, project deployment, and research output data of various countries, this paper uses bibliometric methods to decompose the research of chemical automatic synthesis machines into four aspects. Then, according to the characteristics of various aspects, the data and analysis strategies are selected in a targeted manner, revealing the research trends of the four aspects. Finally, based on the interrelationship and weight of the four aspects, the overall research and judgment results are synthesized. [Conclusion] In the field of chemical automatic synthesis machine research, Europe and the United States are in a comprehensive leading position. Although China has caught up with the international leading level in automation technology, there are still some gaps in computing power, algorithms, and data.
