To　objectively　grasp　the　current　situation　and　development　trend　of　resilient　cities　or　communities　(RC)　research.　The　articles　in　Web　of　Science　(WOS)　Core　Collection　databases　from　1995　to　2022　were　used　as　a　sample,　and　bibliometrics　was　used　to　statistically　analyze　the　year　of　publication　and　number　of　articles,　highly　cited　documents　and　keyword　hotness　in　this　field.　VOSviewer　was　used　to　explore　the　knowledge　graph　of　RC　research　documents.　The　results　show　that:　the　development　process　is　roughly　divided　into　3　periods:　no　attention　(1995-2004),　starting　(2005-2014),　and　rapid　growth　(2015-2021).　The　journal　＂Sustainability＂　and　＂International　journal　of　disaster　risk　reduction＂　are　the　key　journals　publishing　RC　research.　Serre　and　Shaw　are　the　most　productive　authors.　The　USA　is　still　the　leading　country　in　this　field　of　RC.　Colorado　State　Univ,　Texas　a&m　Univ,　and　Delft　Univ　Technol　are　the　main　research　institutions.　The　keyword　analysis　indicates　the　hot　topics　in　different　periods.　Moreover,　several　limitations　and　some　recommendations　for　future　research　on　RC　are　also　given　based　on　this.
