["International Insolvency Review, Volume 34, Issue 3, Page 546-564, Winter 2025. ", "\nAbstract\nThis article employs bibliometric methodologies to examine the essential characteristics, disciplinary knowledge structures, and the prevailing themes and trends in the study of personal bankruptcy systems. The foundational data is derived from relevant literature documented in the Web of Science Core Collection database spanning from 2003 to 2024. The findings reveal that: (1) the volume and citation frequency of literature related to personal bankruptcy systems have exhibited exponential growth, with scholars from the United States playing a dominant role in this field; (2) research primarily focuses on law, economics, and sociology, indicating a trend towards interdisciplinary integration, though a stable core group of authors has yet to emerge; (3) existing studies predominantly discuss the economic effects, social implications, and legislative enhancements of personal bankruptcy systems; (4) current research concentrates on bankruptcy discharge, debt restructuring, and consumer credit issues. Future studies should pay greater attention to regional variations in personal bankruptcy systems, engage in empirical analysis, and enhance interdisciplinary integration to provide theoretical support and practical guidance for the refinement of personal bankruptcy legislation.\n"]
