RESEARCH TRENDS İN DECENTRALİZED FİNANCE: RESULTS OF A BİBLİOMETRİC ANALYSİS

Abstract

Decentralized finance (DeFi) has the potential to revolutionize financial systems by making them more accessible, transparent, efficient, and secure. DeFi not only enhances global access to financial services but also fosters the development of innovative financial products and services. These characteristics clearly demonstrate why DeFi plays and will continue to play a significant role in the modern financial world. This study aims to examine academic research on decentralized finance (DeFi) through a bibliometric analysis, identifying the impacts of DeFi on financial systems, the focal areas within its subcategories, and opportunities for future research. The bibliometric analysis results encompass trends in DeFi research, the most productive authors, the subcategories with the highest concentration of studies, prominent topics, emerging research areas, and gaps requiring further investigation. By analyzing research trends in decentralized finance through a comprehensive dataset and detailed methodologies, this study identifies emerging and developing research areas and focal points within subcategories. Additionally, it highlights existing gaps and research needs in the literature, providing valuable contributions for future studies.

MERKEZİ OLMAYAN FİNANSTA ARAŞTIRMA EĞİLİMLERİ: BİBLİYOMETRİK BİR ANALİZİN SONUÇLARI

Abstract

Merkezi olmayan finans (DeFi), finansal sistemleri daha erişilebilir, şeffaf, verimli ve güvenli hale getirerek devrim yaratma potansiyeline sahiptir. DeFi, finansal hizmetlere küresel erişimi artırırken yenilikçi finansal ürün ve hizmetlerin gelişimini de teşvik eder. Bu özellikler, DeFi’nin modern finans dünyasında neden önemli bir rol oynadığını ve oynamaya devam edeceğini açıkça göstermektedir. Bu çalışma, merkezi olmayan finans (DeFi) üzerine yapılan akademik araştırmaları bibliyometrik analiz yöntemiyle inceleyerek, DeFi'nin finansal sistemlerde yarattığı etkileri, alt kategorilerdeki odaklanma alanlarını ve gelecekteki araştırma fırsatlarını belirlemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Bibliyometrik analiz sonuçları, merkezi olmayan finans araştırmalarındaki eğilimleri, en üretken yazarları, araştırmaların en yoğunlaştığı alt kategorileri, dikkat çeken konuları, yeni araştırma alanlarını ve ihtiyaç duyulan araştırma alanlarını kapsamaktadır. Bu çalışma, merkezi olmayan finans alanındaki araştırma eğilimlerini kapsamlı bir veri seti ve detaylı analiz yöntemleri ile inceleyerek yeni ve gelişmekte olan araştırma alanlarını, alt kategorilerdeki yoğunlaşmaları tespit etmektedir. Ayrıca literatürdeki mevcut boşlukları ve araştırma ihtiyaçlarını belirleyerek, gelecekteki araştırmalar için önemli katkılar sunmaktadır.
