Research on blockchain technology explores the multifaceted aspects of decentralized and distributed ledger systems. Originating with Bitcoin in 2009, the technology has since evolved beyond cryptocurrencies, gaining prominence in diverse sectors such as finance, supply chain, and healthcare. Scholars have investigated the underlying principles, design considerations, scalability challenges, and potential applications of blockchains. This study aims to map blockchain technology research using bibliometrics and a visualization approach. Scholarly publications on blockchain technology were analyzed using quantitative and qualitative indicators from the Web of Science (WoS) database. A total of 5,249 research articles, spanning a decade (2011-2020) were extracted from the WoS database. This analysis has been enriched using various bibliometric tools, including Biblioshiny, VOSviewer, RStudio, and BibExcel. The key findings of this study revealed that the highest annual growth rate of publications occurred in 2018, with 581 records (184.80%). Author Zhang Y published most of the papers (57) with 1,857 citations. China emerged as the most cited country, with 14,779 world citation shares.

This study presents an in-depth analysis of the progression, focal points, and emerging areas in cryptocurrency research spanning from 2014 to 2022. By utilizing the JCR-based classification map within CiteSpace software, we charted the evolutionary trajectory of knowledge in the realm of cryptocurrency research. The nucleus of fundamental knowledge emerged predominantly within the domains of mathematics and economics. To further discern the prevailing research trends, we conducted a comprehensive analysis of keyword co-occurrences utilizing the same software. This analysis spotlighted six key research hotspots: “safe haven,” “blockchain,” “market efficiency,” “deep learning,” “portfolio management,” and “financial regulation.” Additionally, to gauge the research frontiers, we scrutinized the strength of keyword bursts. This exploration identified 23 evolving keywords, segregated into two distinct phases: the initial phase (2014–2017) characterized by keywords tied to Bitcoin, followed by the subsequent phase (2017–2022) marked by keywords linked to blockchain technology and financial regulation. In sum, this investigation furnishes invaluable insights into the trajectories and trajectories of cryptocurrency research, thereby serving as a compass to steer future explorations in this dynamic field.
... In an article signed under the pseudonym of Satoshi Nakamoto, a revolutionary technology to store and manage information in a P2P framework with high-trust levels was introduced [1]. This innovative step forward is making possible a new paradigm in a broad spectrum of domains [2][3][4][5][6] beyond cryptocurrencies, its best-known application. Among these new areas of application, it is worth mentioning some examples such as stock management, financial management, traceability of operations, or the processing of health records. ...
... Despite performing this search in October 2021, that year contributed the largest number of publications to our final selection, as shown in Table 3, with eight publications. This may suggest that the relationship between PE, PA, sport, and active ageing with BC technology are still in their first steps of development, agreeing with previous reviews conducted in similar fields [2][3][4][5][6]. ...
Blockchain technology provides a distributed support for information storage and traceability. Recently, it has been booming in a wide variety of domains: finance, food, energy, and health. In the field of physical activity, physical exercise, sport, and active ageing, this technology could also originate some interesting services introducing support for reliable repository of results, for gamification, or for secure data interchange. This systematic review explores the use of blockchain in this context. The objective is to determine to which extent this technology has fulfilled the potential of blockchain to bring these new added-value services. The authors explored 5 repositories in search of papers describing solutions applied to the above-mentioned frame. 17 papers were selected for full-text analysis, and they displayed diverse applications of blockchain, such as Fitness and healthcare, Sport, and Active ageing. A detailed analysis shows that the solutions found do not leverage all the possibilities of blockchain technology. Most of the solutions analyzed use blockchain for managing, sharing, and controlling access to data and do not exploit the possibilities of Smart Contracts or oracles. Additionally, the advantages of the blockchain model have not been fully exploited to engage users using approaches such as gamification.

A blockchain is a ground-breaking technique for connecting computer networks in a decentralised and distributed manner. It is a relatively new technology with many applications that could eventually affect the entire economy and be acknowledged as the most up-to-date general-purpose technology. This study aims to look at the growth and trends of blockchain technology research literature from 2011 to 2020 across various perspectives. The aim is to assist researchers in developing theoretical frameworks, understand future research directions and serve as a primary source of references for research mapping in the subject. We investigated the top-cited papers, most productive countries, most prolific journals, and most prolific authors based on a comprehensive review of the literature gathered from the Scopus database. According to the findings, the first publication using blockchain technology was in 2011, and the peak year for blockchain research was in 2020.
Furthermore, the statistics revealed that China and the United States (US) are now the most productive countries in research on blockchain technology. Furthermore, our research demonstrated that India is one of the most active producers of blockchain-related research. This outcome is unsurprising, given that the Indian economy has proved its ability to follow best practices in encouraging technology growth in recent years. According to this survey, the topic of blockchain technology has gotten much attention from researchers all over the world.

As one of the disruptive technologies in the fourth industrial revolution, Blockchain has irrevocably changed how people live and work. Many scholars have studied the Blockchain, and the number of related publications has increased over time. Bibliometrics is an excellent method to study the development trend of a specific field. However, few scholars have used bibliometrics to research Blockchain; the inheritance and evolution among its different research themes have not yet been fully understood. This study emphasizes the scientific evolution and research focus of Blockchain through bibliometric analysis. We analyzed 2993 publications from 2014 to 2020 using co-word analysis and cluster analysis with bibliometric tools such as the SciMAT. The most productive author, country, institutions and leading research areas were identified, outlining the Blockchain field’s fundamental developments. The results show the changes in keywords regarding Blockchain summarize the research hotspots in different periods. The study discusses the evolution process of various themes in each period, providing a meaningful reference for scholars to identify research hotspots and future research directions in the Blockchain field.
... Where the literature is not focusing on specific implementations, much of the remaining literature does not seek to provide guidance on DL selection but rather serves to classify DL thematically; e.g. technical criteria [82], [83] or sectors where it might be applied [84]- [89]. Additionally several of the search terms were highly ambiguous. ...
Received wisdom portrays digital records as guaranteeing perpetuity; as the New York Times wrote a decade ago: "the web means the end of forgetting". The reality however is that digital records suffer similar risks of access loss as the analogue versions they replace. Often this risk is outsourced to specialised third parties. Common use cases include Personal Information Management (PIM): e.g. calendars, diaries, tasks, etc. Frequently these are outsourced at two removes - firstly by the individual to their employer (e.g. using a company system) and then by their employer to an external provider. So enters a new risk: organisational change; by the time the information is required the organisational chain that links user to data may be broken: the employer transitions to a different provider, the employee leaves the company, the IS provider pivots to new offerings. The advent of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) could help mitigate these risks; and has led to a re-evaluation of the relationship between data creation and ownership. Although DLT is an imprecise term, it typically involves data storage across organisationally separate entities in a cryptographically secure form; and therefore could present a partial solution to the risk. This project presents the first research that applies DLT to the field of PIM, furthering design science state of the art by a novel implementation of a calendar application on the Ethereum blockchain. It also extends current research in utilising DLT in digital preservation, namely by enacting a continuum approach within a DL that allows for transfer of ownership of digital objects as they transition from individual to collective relevance. Finally it provides guidelines for future use of DLT within digital preservation.
