FinTech ile Sürdürülebilir Finans Arasındaki Bilimsel Eğilimler: Bibliyometrik Bir Analiz
Scientific Trends in FinTech and Sustainable Finance: A Bibliometric Analysis

Summary/Abstract: This study aims to reveal the intellectual structure and research trends in the literature at the intersection of FinTech and sustainable finance through a bibliometric approach. A total of 428 articles and reviews published in the Web of Science Core Collection database between 2019 and 2025 were analysed using the R-based Bibliometrix/Biblioshiny software. The study examines publication and citation trends, leading authors and journals, author–institution–country relationships, country collaboration network and additionally conducts keyword analyses. The findings indicate a significant increase in publications after 2022. Le Thanh Ha stands out as the most prolific author, while E. J. A. Abakah records a high citation impact. Sustainability, Resources Policy and Finance Research Letters are among the prominent journals in the field. China is observed to hold a prominent position in both author–institution–country linkages and the country collaboration network. Keyword cloud analysis reveals that “FinTech” and “green finance” are among the most frequently used keywords. In contrast, the relatively limited use of the term “sustainable finance” suggests that conceptual diversity persists and that a common framework has not yet been fully established. The thematic map analysis indicates that financial inclusion and ESG reporting are among the emerging research areas. Consequently, the study provides a holistic evaluation of the rapidly developing and conceptually diverse structure of the literature at the intersection of FinTech and sustainable finance and offers a guiding framework for future research.
