“…This work aims to identify the state of the art of blockchain technology in the research field. To understand the state of the art on a given topic, several authors have used bibliometric studies to explore the impact of research areas and to better define the object of study [17]- [19]. To improve the understanding of the evolution and impact of blockchain technology, we performed two independent searches with the same keyword «blockchain» in the digital databases Clarivate Web of Science (WoS) [20] and Elsevier's Scopus database [21] and analyzed selected data using text mining tools and mapping software.…”

Blockchain is a relatively new technology supported by a decentralized database that received special attention at the research level in the last years due to its fundamental characteristics. Numerous researchers have applied blockchain studies in many fields, but the scope is very large and there is no delimitation of new and emergent trends. The method used to better understand the evolution and impact of blockchain technology was a bibliometric analysis. A search was conducted at digital Elsevier's database with a single keyword blockchain, and 23383 articles were collected. The VOSviewer software was used as a tool to construct and visualize bibliometric networks and to build co-occurrences networks. The results indicate that there are positive correlations between countries, that China and the United States are part of the most influential cluster. Indicates also emerging developments in the areas of governance, industry, decision-making processes, management, internet of things, information security, and a new hot topic, energy.
