Objective/Meaning The research progress of agricultural socialized service was reviewed in this paper, in order to provide reference for the theoretical and policy research.

Methods/Procedures By taking the agricultural socialized service as the theme, 847 sample documents were retrieved from CSSCI (including the expansion board), CSCD (including the expansion board) of China National Knowledge Internet and Peking University kernel database, and then the knowledge map was drawn by using the CiteSpace software.

Results/Conclusions The study found that: (1) From the perspective of the trend of publication, the research on the agricultural socialized service has gone through three stages: early bud germination, initial exploration and deepening development. (2) The core authors and institutions were mainly universities, and the cooperation was mostly limited to the same institution. The relationship among different authors and institutions was relatively loose. (3) The research hotspots mainly covered the aspects including the basic research of agricultural socialized service, the innovation research of agricultural socialized service, the measurement and effect evaluation of agricultural socialized service, and the agricultural socialized service & rural revitalization. (4) Family farms, scale management, land circulation, modern agriculture and rural revitalization may become the research frontier. In the future, it was necessary to strengthen the theoretical and practical exploration of agricultural socialized service, establish and improve the scientific evaluation system, and deepen the research on the correlation of the issues related to rural revitalization, so as to further improve the construction of agricultural socialized service system.
