A Systematic Literature Review of Blockchain Technology

Abstract

The Blockchain technology moves data nodes and data streams from one informatics center to another based on the importance of Bitcoins, resulting in a dedicated, public, and secure network for interpretation and development of the ensuing information chain reaction. Blockchains are frequently formed by connecting interrelated patterns of information in order to conduct a secure transaction. Blockchain has the characteristics of decentralization, transparency, immutability, autonomy, open-source, anonymity, and consensus. Blockchains are being utilized in a variety of real-world applications, including business and economics, financial technology, and digital currencies. This article does a comprehensive review of the literature on blockchain technology. While searching for the keyword "blockchain" as a subject, we identified a total of 1882 entries in these databases. After removing the less common record kinds, the papers were reduced to 1246 articles, which were then used for further investigation.

Blockchain technology for viable circular digital supplychains: an integrated approach for evaluating the implementation barriers

“…Others have studied the barriers to the implementation of BT in cold SCs using the structural equation modeling (SEM) method (Chavalala et al, 2022) while others have developed an integrated model for understanding and predicting the determinants of BT and its effect on the performance of small-and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) (Bag et al, 2022). Therefore, the scientific debate on this topic is still going on, and more research is required before more generalized and robust conclusions can be drawn on the implementation of BT and its effectiveness to enhance sustainable and/or circular SCs (Berdik et al, 2021;Ghazi et al, 2022;Kamble et al, 2019). Moreover, a major problem in the adoption of new technology is the inconsistent communication among managers and engineers.…”
