Abstract
This study aims to examine the availability of literature on “Continuous Professional Development” (CPD) related to the Library and Information Science (LIS) professionals from 2002 to 2021 in the Web of Science (WoS) database. A comprehensive search strategy coupled with filters was devised to extract relevant data from the database. It led to the retrieval of 345 documents. This was followed by “abstract screening analysis” to achieve the highest level of desired “content relevancy”. Finally, 268 documents were selected and saved in the marked list for further analysis. Data analysis and network visualisation were performed using the R bibliometric package and VOSviewer respectively. The study analysed various parameters such as: publication and citation trends; prolific authors, sources and countries; highly cited articles and nature of authorship and collaboration pattern; the most frequently used keywords; and the citation analysis pattern of authors, articles and sources.
