Abstract: The genetically modified technology has brought us tremendous shock since the seventies of the 20th century. With the rapid development in the short period of several decades,some scholars regarded it as the fourth technological revolution after the industrial revolution,computers and power revolution and the revolution in information technology. At present,more and more genetically modified foods(GMF) enter into the human food chain. Then GMF security issues has attracted people's attention. They also have become one of the most controversial issues. China is a big consumer of GMF. For the GMF security evaluation and testing assessment system is not perfect in China,and the public participation in the GMF security management has less opportunities,the Chinese public has developed a fear of GMF. In view of this,from the perspective of the scientometrics,this paper makes a statistical analysis of the domestic published articles on GM food safety theme. Through the analysis of the academic community,the media and the government's cognitive attitude on the GMF safety,this paper tries to find a solution to the problem.
