The abstract is a critical component of a thesis and a key method for disseminating research findings. This study uses the term “new energy” as a search criterion to construct a corpus of abstracts from academic papers related to the topic of new energy. Abstracts of recent publications in this field were collected from the Science Citation Index (SCI) and the Chinese Science Citation Database (CSCD). Using the corpus tool LancsBox, this research analyzes word frequency and collocation to identify patterns of vocabulary usage in new energy research texts and their role in advancing the field. The study provides insights into how vocabulary usage in academic papers contributes to the promotion of new energy development.
