Abstract:
The blockchain technology has been around for two decades already. It is not largely used because it is not enough known by businesses and its cost is still high relatively. It represents one of the emergent technologies of the fourth industrial revolution reinforcing the digitalisation of businesses by smart contracts and cryptocurrencies, handling monetary and non-monetary transactions. To show its advances in researches, a bibliometric study is performed using articles selected by citations from Web of Science database. The sample is the 100 top cited articles. Citations’ indexes are calculated (total, by year, total and their average). Y-index is used to evaluate publication performance of authors and rank them. The most productive and cited journals, institutions and countries are identified. The most cited articles and their categories are found. There are several practical implications of this study; it offers a guideline to researchers to determine the most impacting authors, institutions, countries and articles in the domain of blockchain technology. It also helps to know the trends overtime of the blockchain.
