contents The study of research trends is pivotal for understanding scientific development on specific topics. Traditionally, this involves keyword analysis within scholarly literature, yet comprehensive tools for such analysis are scarce, especially those capable of parsing large datasets with precision. pyKCN, a Python toolkit, addresses this gap by automating keyword cleaning, extraction and trend analysis from extensive academic corpora. It is equipped with modules for text processing, deduplication, extraction, and advanced keyword co-occurrence and analysis, providing a granular view of research trends. This toolkit stands out by enabling researchers to visualize keyword relationships, thereby identifying seminal works and emerging trends. Its application spans diverse domains, enhancing scholars' capacity to understand developments within their fields. The implications of using pyKCN are significant. It offers an empirical basis for predicting research trends, which can inform funding directions, policy-making, and academic curricula.
