Abstract

This study presents a bibliometric analysis, using spatial approach, of 943 articles from 2003 to March 2025 showing the growing importance of CDSs in the literature and their role in credit risk management. The Web of Science’s Core Collection database was used for bibliometric mapping. The bibliographic data were grouped and analyzed using VOSviewer to create network visualization maps that included country-wise, document-wise, and source-wise citations analysis, bibliographic coupling, and the co-occurrence of keywords. Subsequently, significant terms were identified through the analyses where risk assessment, risk management, and credit derivatives were found to be the most used keywords. Further, USA turns out to be the country where the most research was published on CDSs with maximum citations, highlighting the growing popularity of this research topic in this region. In addition, bibliographic coupling appears to capture information from 13 clusters formed during the analysis on bibliographically linked documents with their link strength. The bibliometric analysis of the CDS literature illustrates the intellectual framework of research on this topic, traces the progression of the research topic over time, and identifies the areas where this research field might develop in the future.
