A Knowledge Mapping Analysis on the Blockchain Research in the Maritime Sector

초록

Blockchain, as an emerging distributed technology, has been widely applied in various industries and fields. This paper aims to analyze the research on blockchain technology in the maritime industry by using bibliometrics and visualization methods with samples from the Web of Science Core Collection database. Next, Cite Space software is used to visualize the publication countries and institutions, reference co-citation, author co-citation, keyword co-occurrence for timezone view, timeline view, and bursts. A multi-dimensional perspective of the current status, trends, and hotspots is obtained to provide certain policy implications for enhancing blockchain research capabilities while activating its application in the maritime industry.
