Research Status, Hot Spots and Frontiers Related to Chinese Banking in the Wave of Digital Transformation: Bibliometric Analysis and Knowledge Graph

Today, the digital transformation of banks is a hot topic in both theory and practice. In recent years, the number of relevant research results has increased significantly, and the research focus, level and perspective are complicated. So it is necessary to systematically summarize and sort out it, and build a relatively complete knowledge graph to provide support for subsequent research. At the same time, it can provide useful reference for the banking industry and policy makers. In this paper, CiteSpace is used to analyze the literatures of bank digital transformation. Firstly, the research status is analyzed from the aspects of publication trends, institutions and authors. Secondly, through keyword co-occurrence, keyword clustering and keyword burst analysis, the research hotspots and evolution trend are studied. Finally, we construct the knowledge graph of bank digital transformation, and six research topics are identified. In addition, we propose five possible research directions in the future.
