Abstract：This paper tracks and summarizes the research progress on industrial activity induced earthquakes in the world,and provides reference for relevant research in China.Using the Web of Science core collection database as the data source,scientometric methods were used to analyze 293 research papers from 2000 to 2022,and Citespace software was used to conduct the statistical analysis from the four aspects of publication volume,countries,research institutions,and literature keywords.The results show that the number of research papers on industrial activity induced earthquakes began to increase from 2014 to 2015,then remained stable,and increased significantly in 2020.The United States has the largest number of papers and the greatest influence,and is in a leading position in this field.China ranks second in the number of papers in,but the centrality of international cooperation is weak,and the institution with the largest number of papers is the Chinese Academy of Sciences.In recent years,there have been shale gas exploitation activities in the research hotspots,including the Sichuan Basin and Fox Creek,Canada
