摘要

The rapid digitalization of financial systems has positioned E- Finance as a key research area, integrating fintech, blockchain, and artificial intelligence into modern financial practices. This study conducts a bibliometric analysis to examine research trends, influential authors, collaboration networks, and thematic developments in E-Finance. Using Web of Science (WOS) data, 156 publications were analyzed through VOSviewer, applying citation, coauthorship, keyword co-occurrence, and co-citation analyses. The findings reveal a steady increase in E-Finance research, with notable growth after 2016, aligning with fintech advancements. China, the United States, and European institutions emerge as leading contributors, fostering strong international collaborations. The keyword analysis highlights a shift from traditional online banking and e-commerce to modern topics like decentralized finance (DeFi), AI-driven finance, and financial inclusion. Citation analysis identifies foundational studies in trust mechanisms, ICT-driven financial growth, and blockchain-based transactions. This study provides a comprehensive overview of E-Finance research, offering valuable insights for academics, policymakers, and financial professionals. The results highlight emerging research gaps, emphasizing the need for further studies on cybersecurity, regulatory frameworks, and the societal impact of digital finance.
