Blockchain is a distributed ledger technology that has attracted both practitioners and academics attention in recent years. Several conceptual and few empirical studies have been published focusing on addressing current issues and recommending the future research directions of supply chain management. To identify how blockchain can contribute to supply chain management, this paper conducts a systematic review through bibliometric and network analysis. We determined the key authors, significant studies, and the collaboration patterns that were not considered by the previous publications on this angel of supply chain management. Using citation and co-citation analysis, key supply chain areas that blockchain could contribute are pinpointed as supply chain management, finance, logistics, and security. Furthermore, it revealed that Internet of Things (IoT) and smart contracts are the leading emerging technologies in this field. The results of highly cited and co-cited articles demonstrate that blockchain could enhance transparency, traceability, efficiency, and information security in supply chain management. The analysis also revealed that empirical research is scarce in this field. Therefore, implementing blockchain in the real-world supply chain is a considerable future research opportunity.
区块链是一种分布式账本技术，近年来吸引了从业者和学者的关注。已经发表了一些概念性研究和少量实证研究，重点关注解决当前问题并推荐供应链管理的未来研究方向。为了确定区块链如何为供应链管理做出贡献，本文通过文献计量和网络分析进行了系统综述。我们确定了先前关于供应链管理这一视角的出版物未考虑的关键作者、重要研究以及合作模式。通过引用和共引分析，确定区块链可做出贡献的关键供应链领域为供应链管理、金融、物流和安全。此外，研究表明物联网（IoT）和智能合约是该领域领先的新兴技术。高被引和共引文章的结果表明，区块链可以提高供应链管理的透明度、可追溯性、效率和信息安全性。分析还表明，该领域的实证研究较少。因此，在现实世界的供应链中实施区块链是一个相当大的未来研究机会。
