Abstract

A bibliometric literature analysis was conducted to illuminate the evolving and rapidly expanding literature in the field of cryptoeconomics. This analysis presented the emerging field's intellectual, social, and conceptual structure. The intellectual structure, characterized by schools of thought, emerged through a common citation analysis. The social structure revealed collaborations among researchers, identified through a co-authorship analysis. Network analysis highlighted collaborative communities facilitating innovation and knowledge exchange within the field. The conceptual structure was enlightened by analyzing common terms occurring in titles, author keywords, abstracts, and the publication itself. This bibliometric analysis of the rapidly advancing field of cryptoeconomics serves as a foundational resource, providing insights into research productivity and emerging trends. It contributes to a deeper understanding of the field, offering valuable information on research patterns and trends. Furthermore, this analysis empowers researchers, policymakers, and industry sectors to make informed decisions, establish collaborations, and navigate the dynamic and evolving landscape of the cryptoeconomics field.
