Abstract: The current study presents a quantitative investigation of the literature on financial inclusion and access to finance using bibliometric analysis. The study has analysed 1,900 documents extracted using the Scopus database between 1977 and 2020 using VOS viewer and Biblioshiny. Based on the results gained from the analysis, the authors discuss the trends of publications based on year, countries, institutions, journals, and authors. The study results indicate that the research on financial inclusion concentrates on specific areas presented through thematic analysis. Some of the recent issues are in the nascent stage - most research themes in this area attribute to financial inclusion and poverty, economic growth, and financial literacy. Finally, the study identifies the research gap in the concerned area, which may provide future research agenda attained through collaborative research within the research community.
