Abstract: In order to understand the development of mining construction methods for subway stations in China, a literature database on mining construction of subway stations was established, and VOS viewer software was used to visually analyze literatures from 2000 to 2023, summarizing research topics and evolution trends. The current research and application status of various mining construction methods were summarized, with a focus on key construction processes that may lead to "surface settlement." The targeted construction measures adopted were also sorted out. Finally, a prospect for the minging construction methods of subway stations was provided, suggesting that refined design, green construction, and intelligent construction will be the key research focus and development direction in the future.
