A systematic mapping study for blockchain based on complex network

Abstract

Summary Blockchain has started to appear as a potentially reliable and underlying technology for various fields. There have been lots of surveys focusing on blockchain with respect to specific topics, such as security, architecture, applications, and so on. However, a systematic mapping study, including all related fields about blockchain, has been largely ignored. In this article, we revisit the problem of complex networks in the form of scientific collaboration networks. More specifically, we utilize the method of systematic mapping and implement them into blockchain technology. We collect 233 articles by searching Baidu scholar with the keyword “blockchain,” then construct two complex networks according to the relationship of keywords and authors, respectively. The keywords' complex network is a small‐world network while the authors' complex network is not. Furthermore, the tool of Netdraw provides a visualized graph for the complex network. Meanwhile, we find some subgroups in the network, which may highlight the future direction of blockchain.
