作者：

Highlights：

• This paper studies author keyword selection behavior, and proposes three influencing channels (content channel, prior knowledge channel, and background channel).

• The average percentages of author keywords appearing in content channel, prior knowledge channel, and background channel are 56.7%, 41.6% and 56.1%, respectively.

• Author keywords of papers written by core authors appear less frequently in content channel but more frequently in prior knowledge and background channels.

• Percentage of author keywords appearing in high-frequency keywords is positively related with citation counts of papers.
