Mapping Blockchain Technology and CSR in the Banking Sector using VOSviewer Software: A Bibliometric Analysis

Abstract

Technology has revolutionized almost all walks of life for individuals, corporations, governments and societies at large. New technologies like blockchain are changing the financial industry by offering better transparency, security, and efficiency. As the finance sector focuses more on responsible and sustainable practices, Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) has become increasingly important. This study uses bibliometric analysis to explore how blockchain and CSR intersect in banking. By using the Dimensions.ai database and VOSviewer software, the research maps key academic work, identifies current trends, and highlights leading authors, journals, and institutions. The results show growing interest and collaboration among countries in this field. Blockchain can boost CSR efforts by enhancing accountability, reducing fraud, and ensuring funds are used effectively. This study highlights blockchain’s growing role as a tool for corporate sustainability. The findings aim to guide academics, industry professionals, and policymakers, and stress the need for more research to fully harness blockchain’s potential in promoting CSR in banking.
