Over the past few decades, there has been a growing need to address the limitations of the Data Envelopment Analysis methodology, particularly the issue of freely selecting weights. As a result, common weight models have emerged and expanded. This article aims to provide a comprehensive overview of CSW methods, analyzing papers and bibliometric information through a systematic literature review. In this study, a total of 116 articles on CSW published between 1991 and 2022 were carefully selected and reviewed. These contributions were categorized based on specific features related to the computational technique or the main purpose of the procedure. The findings revealed that uncertain models had the highest share among the articles in the field of CSW. Furthermore, the Journal of Expert Systems with Applications emerged as the leading journal in terms of the number of publications on CSW models in DEA. The analysis of the bibliometric information of the articles was carried out using advanced software tools, including R-Studio and VOS Viewer... This review offers valuable insights and discussion, which can guide future research endeavors in this field. By addressing the limitations of DEA and exploring various CSW methods, this study contributes to the advancement of knowledge and understanding in this area.
