Public policy formulation is the prerequisite and primary issue for public decision-making. This article uses the CiteSpace analysis software to make a detailed analysis of the research literature (1999–2019) on policy formulation in the CNKI database, and to sort out the historical evolution and hotspots of China’s policy formulation research in the past two decades. The analysis found that: policy formulation, educational policy formulation, interest groups, and public participation are the focus of research in the field of policy formulation; the first ten years mainly focused on relevant theories and experiences of Western countries, as well as sustainable development and harmonious society. The next ten years mainly focused on research on public opinion, democracy, think tanks, and satisfaction.
