Abstract

Blockchain, an emerging technology reshaping numerous industries, has garnered significant attention from researchers due to its myriad benefits and the plethora of research opportunities it presents across various sectors. With the rapid evolution of blockchain research publications, there's a growing demand for thorough investigative studies to assess the current knowledge landscape in this field. While a few review articles have addressed recent developments and challenges in blockchain technology, there hasn't been any bibliometric analysis utilizing the Web of Science (WoS) as a dataset to gauge the assertiveness of the art inblockchain research. Hence, conducting a comprehensive bibliometric study becomes imperative. This study focused on analyzing all unionidentifications, and articles, and examiningdocuments on blockchain indexed by WoS from [7] to [19], categorizing them into five research topics. The findings yielded valuable insights, including trends in annual journals and quotes, popular seekfields, first-leading papers, preferred journalboards, and notable funding sources. The study's conclusions offer various recommendations that can serve as a benchmark for both novice and qualified researchers embarking on blockchain research endeavours’. can be used as a benchmark before beginning a blockchain study development in the prospect.
