Abstract

The emergence of blockchain technology is reshaping several aspects of economies, opening a wider spectrum for the research communities, and making it critical to conduct studies that comprehensively analyze this body of knowledge. From the Web of Sciences' database, a bibliometric study using VOS viewer and biblioshiny tool is provided on the evolving research on blockchain technology in finance. Blockchain in finance has provided enabled applications such as tokens, initial coin offerings, crowdfunding, smart contracts, prediction marketplace systems, and digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. In this study, we convey a detailed bibliometric-based evaluation of scientific research publications from 2008 to mid-2020. With 157 articles retrieved, our findings show the global trends, current tendencies, and frontiers. We report that blockchain technology research in finance has evolved and is predominated by studies on crowdfunding/equity crowdfunding, entrepreneurial finance, bitcoin, entrepreneurship, fintech, and venture capital. However, several of these studies are contextually based, with scantily used cases leading to the design of frameworks and architectures. Additionally, the majority of the studies could not afford sufficient details on the practical discharge of the few blockchain-enabled prototypes.

区块链技术在金融领域的新兴研究传达的基于文献计量学评价的证据

区块链技术的出现正在重塑经济的几个方面，为研究界开辟了更广泛的领域，并使开展全面分析这一知识体系的研究变得至关重要。从Web of Sciences的数据库中，使用VOS查看器和biblioshiny工具提供了关于金融区块链技术不断发展的研究的文献计量学研究。金融领域的区块链提供了令牌、首次代币发行、众筹、智能合约、预测市场系统以及比特币和以太坊等数字货币等应用。在本研究中，我们对2008年至2020年中期的科研出版物进行了详细的文献计量学评估。通过检索到的157篇文章，我们的发现显示了全球趋势、当前趋势和前沿。我们报告说，区块链技术在金融领域的研究已经发展起来，并且以众筹/股权众筹、创业金融、比特币、创业、金融科技和风险投资的研究为主。然而，这些研究中有几个是基于上下文的，用例很少导致框架和体系结构的设计。此外，大多数研究无法提供关于少数支持区块链的原型实际使用的足够细节。
