Abstract: Talents are the primary resource for innovation, and scientific and technological talents are the core driving force for national innovation and economic growth. This study delves into the intricate landscape of scientific and technological talents research, utilizing the Web of Science database as a foundation. By integrating bibliometric analysis with the insights from scientific knowledge mapping, the study examines the distribution characteristics, interdisciplinary dynamics, and development trends within the realm of scientific and technological talents research. The results show that the number of related research papers has increased significantly since 2005, highlighting the global emphasis on Scientific and technological talents. The United States dominates the field, while China and other countries also show a positive development trend. Disciplines such as education, information science and librarianship, and multidisciplinary sciences have made significant contributions to Scientific and technological talents research, and emerging topics such as the new crown epidemic, early career education, trust in Scientific and technological talents, citizen scientists, measurement of Scientific and technological talents, social media, and anxiety and stress are becoming hot topics for research. Based on the above research conclusions, four suggestions are proposed. First, it is necessary to build a scientific and complete research paradigm to promote the high-quality development of the theory and practice of scientific and technological talents. The concept lacks a precise definition and measurable standards, and the research itself has not yet formed a systematic and complete theoretical framework. It is suggested to draw on methodologies from disciplines such as education, sociology, management, economics to innovate and standardize the field, thereby constructing a scientific research system that fosters high-quality development in both theory and practice. Second, strengthen interdisciplinary cooperation and innovation in the field of scientific and technological talents research, establish interdisciplinary research platforms, and promote communication and cooperation between different disciplines. Encouraging interdisciplinary academic exchanges through conferences, seminars, and workshops will help focus experts from different fields on issues related to scientific and technological talents. Third, continue to monitor and evaluate the research trends of scientific and technological talents. Bibliometric and informetric methods, such as citation analysis, co-word analysis, and trend analysis, should be employed to quantitatively evaluate hot topics, key authors, institutions, and interdisciplinary collaboration patterns in the field. International comparative studies should be conducted to analyze the similarities and differences in the cultivation and development of scientific and technological talents across different countries and regions, learning from international experiences to propose strategies and measures suitable for each nation's context. Finally, pay attention to the mental health of scientific and technological talents, conduct related research, implement work-life balance policies, and improve the working environment to cope with the challenges brought by global events. Improving the work environment for these talents by reducing excessive competition and work pressure, and offering more career development opportunities and flexibility, is also advised.
