Abstract: This chapter uses bibliometric analysis to analyze the digital finance literature during COVID-19, extracting 240 articles from the Scopus database published between 2020 and 2024. The analysis of publication trends reveals a steady increase from 11 articles in 2020 to 90 in 2023. Notably, the Journal of Open Innovation: Technology, Market, and Complexity emerges as a top-contributing source, sharing the first rank with 10 documents. Technological Forecasting and Social Change leads in citations, while Akpan et al. (2022) is the most-cited document. Rabbani leads with five documents. China dominates in country contributions, and the Agricultural University of Athens ranks highest among affiliations. We unveil collaboration networks and identify 12 significant themes in digital finance research during COVID-19, providing a comprehensive overview for future exploration.
