Abstract: Scientific research needs lots of literature searches that cost a large 
amount of time and energy. Bibliometric techniques could help us find research 
hotspots and grasp the research direction yet can't reveal huge hidden 
information in massive literature since the existing bibliometric analysis 
techniques employ mainly simple statistical analysis techniques. Hence, we 
propose to introduce data mining analysis techniques into bibliometrics analysis, 
and expect to reach some instructive conclusions by mining relations among 
information like keywords, authors, research institutions, publications and so 
on. We take the subject 'data mining' as our research object and analyze the 
records by the method of association rule analysis. Finally, we get some 
valuable conclusions that verify the idea's feasibility. The results of this 
research would not only provide a reference for data mining research but also 
be applied to other research fields.
