Abstract

We apply bibliometric analysis to the review papers published in the finance domain, considering 264 review and qualitative studies. The approach applied in this study involves using review studies published in finance literature from 2000 to 2022, predominantly aiming at the pedigree of such papers and unfolding the renaissance experienced by such papers in recent years. We apply bibliometric analysis to know the most influential countries, authors, institutions, and journals publishing review papers. Results of the study identified four literature review clusters: The first cluster is related to ‘corporate finance and financial markets’, the second cluster combines the studies related to ‘financial innovations and Fintech’, the third cluster is related to ‘social finance and financial inclusion’, and finally, the fourth cluster combines the studies related to ‘CSR and corporate governance’. We conclude that the bibliometric analysis and literature review papers are critical for identifying and highlighting the emerging problems in finance and motivating future academics to pursue further investigations and provide solutions.
