Digital transformation,as a disruptive force of technological change,has fundamentally re-shaped the relational structures and interaction modes between regional and extra-regional actors.This transformation has prompted notable shifts in the research subjects,analytical content,and methodo-logical approaches within the field of regional economic resilience.To capture emerging research trends in this area in the context of digital transformation,this study conducts a quantitative bibliometric anal-ysis of 260 articles indexed in the Web of Science and China National Knowledge Infrastructure(CNKI)databases between 2016 and 2025.Using CiteSpace,this study constructs a knowledge map to systematically examine the evolution of research themes,analytical perspectives,and methodological approaches.The main findings are as follows.First,regarding development trends,both Chinese and English-language studies exhibit near-simultaneous emergence and periodic surges in publication volume.Second,in terms of research orientation,a systematic shift has occurred in research subjects,analytical frameworks,and methodological approaches.Digitalization primarily influences regional economic resilience through three key mechanisms:stimulating innovation and entrepreneurial vitality,strengthening spatial network connectivity,and reshaping resource allocation structures.Third,despite the rapid expansion of the literature,several research limitations remain,including insufficient theoretical deepening,limited conceptual innovation,and inadequate theoretical articulation of Chinese empirical experience.Based on the above-mentioned research gaps,the paper proposes three directions for future research to advance theoretical development and empirical understanding of regional economic resilience in the digital era.
