: China's logistics industry is developing at a high speed, but the distribution efficiency can't match with it, to reduce the waste of resources and costs on the way of distribution, it is crucial to study and improve the distribution center siting issue. Taking the 494 core journals on the study of logistics distribution center siting in Knowledge Network as the basic data, CiteSpace is used to visualize and analyze the related literature in this research field. Through the keyword clustering analysis, this field can be divided into four directions: the main body of research, the influence factors of site selection, the purpose of site selection, and site selection methods, and the comprehensive analysis shows that the early focus of China's research is on the site selection methods, such as genetic algorithm and center of gravity method, and the future research direction is the joint optimization of the site selection-path and the two-layer planning.
