Abstract: This bibliometric study examines the evolution of academic research on the use of financial derivatives as risk management instruments in a financial environment increasingly characterized by uncertainty and structural transformation. Drawing on publications indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection over the 2000–2025 period, the analysis provides a systematic mapping of the field, highlighting publication dynamics, influential journals and authors, collaboration patterns, and the thematic structure of the literature. The findings reveal a sustained growth in scholarly interest, with pronounced intensifications during periods of financial and economic stress, alongside a progressive diversification of research themes toward energy markets, climate-related risks, digital assets, and behavioral dimensions of risk. By offering a comprehensive and reproducible overview of the literature, the study contributes to a clearer understanding of the intellectual structure and evolution of this research domain and outlines relevant directions for future investigations in financial risk management.
