Bibliometric Analysis of the Evolution of Themes and Research Directions in Economic Security in the Context of Digitalization

Abstract

The aim of this article is to examine the evolution of scholars' understanding of economic security and identify specific aspects of ensuring economic security in the context of digitisation. To achieve this goal, a combination of methods, such as bibliometric analysis, the matrix method, and retrospective analysis, was employed. The primary data source was the Web of Science (WoS) Core Collection database, which was processed using the R software package bibliometrix. Results of the presented research allow us to assert that the study of economic security cannot disregard themes related to the digitisation of economic processes, emphasising the importance of topics such as “blockchain”, “digitalization” and “digital economy” in creating an effective system for ensuring economic security at all levels of management in the conditions of digitisation.
