Science journalism plays an important role in the public understanding of science and in building an innovative country. Based on the bibliometric method, the study explores the academic history of science journalism. It was found that the international science journalism research history has gone through three stages, the incubation stage before 1970, the germination and growth stage from 1970 to the end of the 20th century, and the rapid and diversified development stage in the 21st century. International science journalism research mainly involves five topics, including spreader research such as scientists and journalists, media research such as mass media and social media, content research such as frontier scientific and technological issues and false reports, audience research such as public understanding of science and citizen scientific literacy, effect research such as the methods and levels of science communication. Public doubts and concerns about science permeate the research of science journalism. Compared with international research, the domestic science journalism research system is more fragmented and practice-oriented. International research presents an obvious pattern of academic systematization. In terms of research methods, domestic research paid more attention to qualitative analysis while international research focused on quantitative and empirical research. With the rapid development of science and technology in China, the difference in science journalism research at domestic and abroad should arouse attention and reflection.
