A Bibliometric and Visual Analysis of Financial Technology Applications

Abstract

The current study presents a bibliometric and visual analysis of the literature on Financial Technology (fintech) applications to find out the publication patterns across publication medium, countries and relevant applications through bibliometric analysis and visual study. The study finds that China is the leading publisher of the fintech articles followed by U.S.A and U.K followed by India at fourth place. Also, it is seen that fintech overlaps between engineering and management disciplines where one leads in innovation and other in disbursement of technology. Hence, fintech leading journals are in management discipline. Fintech is studied in close association with financial inclusion, blockchain, cryptocurrency, artificial intelligence in majority along with some other minor applications. It is also evident that the next fintech revolution would be led by countries like India and China as the growth of articles and studies in these countries is increasing at a faster pace.
