A Bibliometric Study for Blockchain Technology in Academic Journals

The Blockchain has become a revolutionary pawn in various sectors, including education. A Blockchain can also liaison between computer networks that run in a centralized and distributed manner. The use of bibliometric technology acts as an indicator of research status. This supports applying statistical methods to specific scientific research topics and manages the profile of publications on those topics. This study evaluates the development of research publications in the implementation process and future trends of Blockchain Technology. This study contribute to assist researchers in creating a theoretical framework and to provide an initial reference source for mapping research in this area. All research publications related to the implementation and future trends of Blockchain technology in the Scopus database are analyzed using several bibliometric indicators. By using bibliometric indicators, the analysis of this study will advance Blockchain technology research in general. Author, number of citations, journal source, publisher, institution, country, year of publication, category, and author keywords were analyzed. The main novelty of this research is the innovation of this analysis to support and develop the application of statistics to certain scientific research topics based on the current bibliometric ecosystem. For future research, the authors recommend that detailed specifications governing the expansion of scholarly journals be established.
