Abstract: This study presents a bibliometric analysis of the literature on financial options pricing. This study examined 1713 peer-reviewed journal articles published between January 2002 and January 2023. The literature on options pricing was analyzed using bibliometric methodologies and analysis techniques such as co-citation, citation networks, content, publication and keywords trends. The contribution of this study to the literature on options pricing lies in enhancing the understanding of the field by proposing ten clusters. These clusters will help investors, policymakers and researchers gain deeper insights on the topic and the research gaps and are crucial for the investment financial communities in light of institutions’ and society’s rising reliance on financial derivatives.
