Abstract

The research on digital financial literacy from 2000 to 2024 is thoroughly analysed in this study, which looks at publishing trends, regional distribution, document kinds, research emphasis areas, contributing institutions, and significant authors and journals. According to the research, there has been a noticeable increase in publications after 2016, with 2023 seeing the largest output. In terms of contributions, the UK, Indonesia, and the US are in the top. Publication types dominated by journal articles include "Business" and "Computer Science" as the most popular research areas. Important universities like Harvard University and Monash University are also highlighted in the report, along with well-known writers like Kirti Goyal and Angela C. Lyons. Strong collaboration clusters are revealed by the co-authorship network, with Josephine Kass-Hanna and Angela C. Lyons serving as key figures. Additionally, publications such as the "Journal of Open Innovation" and "Sustainability": Three factors—technology, market, and complexity—are found to have a significant impact. The multidisciplinary character of research on digital financial literacy is highlighted by keyword analysis, which shows research clustering around issues including digital literacy, health literacy, and technology adoption.
