Abstract

To identify how blockchain technology affects current and future research, we carried out a bibliometric overview of journal articles written on blockchain in finance, economics, and social sciences fields. We aimed to answer some of the questions and visualize publications’ trends regarding the advancement of blockchain utilization in the selected fields. We used the Scopus database for the literature research, which resulted in 506 papers by 1278 authors distributed across 79 countries. The data showed that from 2008 till 2021, publishing about blockchain was more significant among conference papers than journal articles by a factor of two. The bibliometric analysis showed the importance of citation regarding published academic articles, the influential authors, the top universities/organizations with blockchain research, and the top countries of articles’ publications on blockchain topics. The study identified Financial Innovation as the most impactful journal, the National Natural Science Foundation of China as the leading funding sponsor on blockchain research, the USA as the highest publication-producing country, and Hong Kong as the top country in the average citation per document produced. Finally, the study analysis identified the 20 most cited articles on blockchain topics from 2008 to early 2021. This study’s investigation and findings could set a preliminary understanding and a road map for those interested in carrying out a bibliometric analysis on any topic.
