Based on a 12-year bibliographic record collected from the Web of Science (Thomson Reuters) database, the present study aims to provide a macroscopic overview of the knowledge domain in financial decision making (FDM). A scientometric and bibliometric analysis was conducted on the literature published in the field from 2010 to 2021, using the CiteSpace software. The analysis focuses on the co-occurring categories, the geographic distributions, the vital references, the distribution of topics, as well as the research fronts and emerging trends of financial related decision making. The steady increase of papers published year by year demonstrated the increasing interest on this topic at the international level. The scientometric analysis of the literature showed that financial decision, investment decision, and financing decision stood out of the crowd of the research on FDM, suggesting their important role in FDM and its research. The results of citation burst analysis predicted the focus of topics, i.e., the impact of individual differences such as financial literacy, gender and age on FDM in the coming years. Different from the traditional approach of literature review, this bibliometric analysis offers a scientometric approach to reveal the and the development trend of FDM by macro and quantitative means. In addition, future research directions for the field are recommended.
基于从科学网（汤森路透）数据库收集的12年文献记录，本研究旨在对财务决策（FDM）领域的知识范畴提供一个宏观概述。使用CiteSpace软件对2010年至2021年该领域发表的文献进行了科学计量和文献计量分析。该分析聚焦于共现类别、地理分布、重要参考文献、主题分布，以及财务相关决策的研究前沿和新兴趋势。逐年发表论文数量的稳步增长表明国际层面上对该主题的兴趣日益浓厚。文献的科学计量分析表明，财务决策、投资决策和融资决策在财务决策研究中脱颖而出，表明它们在财务决策及其研究中的重要作用。引文突发分析结果预测了主题焦点，即未来几年金融素养、性别和年龄等个体差异对财务决策的影响。与传统的文献综述方法不同，这种文献计量分析提供了一种科学计量方法，通过宏观和定量手段揭示财务决策的现状和发展趋势。此外，还推荐了该领域未来的研究方向。
