Abstract: Citation of academic papers reflects the historical overview of research topics, and the exchange and contention of academic opinions. Through the analysis of the citation of civil law research papers in Tribune of Political Science and Law from 2001 to 2020, we find that the number of citations of civil law research papers has been on the increase in recent years, but is still less than that of papers of other disciplines; the citations are mainly from literature of law, especially of civil law. This shows that the interdisciplinary exchange between civil law and other departments of law and other disciplines is limited, and researches on civil law have been confined within the scope of civil law. The future studies on civil law should break the separation between departmental laws and the restriction of individual departmental law, break the separation among disciplines and promote interdisciplinary exchange. While making good use of the normative analysis method in researches, the research methods of other disciplines should also be used to create a new perspective of civil law research and to promote the development of civil law research.

Key words: civil law, citation analysis, citation of civil law literature, citation of papers of other disciplines, interdiscipline
