Bibliometric Analysis of Financial Risk Research Literature (2022-2025)

Abstract

This study analyzes the bibliometric characteristics of financial risk research literature published between 2022 and 2025. The analysis is based on 679 records indexed in the Scopus database on financial risk, risk management, financial innovation, supply chain risk, artificial intelligence in finance, climate-related finance, and sustainable finance. The study examines year-wise publication output, document-wise distribution, annual growth rate, future growth prediction, journal scattering, author productivity, and high-frequency research terms. The results show a clear upward trend in publication output from 117 records in 2022 to 222 records in 2025. Bradford's Law confirms a core-periphery structure among source titles, Lotka's Law is supported by the author productivity distribution, and Zipf's Law is validated through high-frequency word analysis. The study forecasts that publication output may reach 394 records by 2030, indicating the rapid expansion of financial risk research.
