【目的】 基于《应用昆虫学报》创刊70年来的刊文，分析其发展轨迹。【方法】 利用文献计量学的方法，应用SATI与UCINET软件，对1955-2010年《昆虫知识》与2011-2024年《应用昆虫学报》的刊文，进行统计分析。【结果】 《昆虫知识》与《应用昆虫学报》刊发论文的记录分别为7 207和2 744条，共计9 951条。论文来源于13 149位作者，有核心作者445位。通过对害虫的生物学、生态学研究，了解其发生与控制其为害；关注天敌的保护利用、资源昆虫的研发，分子生物学的方法与技术已融入害虫防治研究中。【结论】 学报始终以国家需求为目标，以我国重要昆虫为研究对象，报道昆虫学研究领域创新科研成果与动态，介绍昆虫学新理论、新技术、新方法，已成为我国昆虫学研究成果的重要信息库、人才培养的基地与引领中国昆虫科学发展的重要力量。

To present a quantitative analysis of the development of applied entomological research in China over the past 70 years based on papers published in Chinese Journal of Applied Entomology in the 70 years since its founding. [Methods]  Using bibliometric methods, a statistical analysis of papers published in Chinese Journal of Applied Entomology from 1955 to 2024 was conducted. [Results]  A total of 9 951 papers were published in Chinese Journal of Applied Entomology from 1955 to 2024, 7 207 from 1955 to 2010, and 2 744 from 2011 to 2024. These papers were written by 13 149 authors, among whom 445 were core authors. The problem of pest damage has been addressed by research on the biological and ecological characteristics of insects, and research has also been conducted on the protection and utilization of natural enemies, resource insects, and the integration of molecular biology methods and technologies into pest control. [Conclusion] In the past 70 years, Chinese Journal of Applied Entomology has always been guided by national needs and focused on core fields, such as agricultural pest control, biodiversity conservation, and the utilization of insect resources, and has become an important platform for the dissemination of entomological knowledge and academic exchanges within China.
