A Bibliometric and Content Analysis of Cryptocurrency

The findings of our extensive review of the cryptocurrency literature from 2010 to 2022 are presented in this report. We cover the definitions, history, uses, and distinctive activities of the cryptocurrency business in our overview. We initially conducted a bibliometric analysis on articles acquired from the Scopus database using the VOSviewer bibliometric and R package tool in order to identify the two main streams of cryptocurrency literature. Then, we conducted content analyses on pertinent publications from reputable sources. We also found gaps in the literature and suggested seven research areas that should be addressed in follow-up studies to improve understanding of the cryptocurrency sector. Researchers researching at the numerous sides of cryptocurrencies to increase our understanding of this industry may find the findings of this paper to be a helpful resource.

Abstract

The findings of our extensive review of the cryptocurrency literature from 2010 to 2022 are presented in this report. We cover the definitions, history, uses, and distinctive activities of the cryptocurrency business in our overview. We initially conducted a bibliometric analysis on articles acquired from the Scopus database using the VOSviewer bibliometric and R package tool in order to identify the two main streams of cryptocurrency literature. Then, we conducted content analyses on pertinent publications from reputable sources. We also found gaps in the literature and suggested seven research areas that should be addressed in follow-up studies to improve understanding of the cryptocurrency sector. Researchers researching at the numerous sides of cryptocurrencies to increase our understanding of this industry may find the findings of this paper to be a helpful resource.
