The amount of research related to financial technologies (fintech) has grown rapidly since these modalities have been implemented. A review of this literature base will help identify the topics that have been explored and identify topics for further research. This research project collects, synthesizes, and analyzes both the research strategies (i.e., methodologies) and content (e.g., topics, focus, categories) of the literature, and then discusses an agenda for future research efforts. We searched for fintech research published in the last 20 years and analyzed 146 articles published in Finance and 70 articles published in Information Systems (IS) during this period in their respective A*, A, and B journals in the 2019 Australian Business Deans Council list. We found an increasing level of activity during the most recent 6-year period and a biased distribution of fintech articles focused on exploratory methodologies. We also found several research strategies that were either underrepresented or absent from the pool of fintech research and identified several subject areas that need further exploration. We also created four fintech topic categories to organize and classify this diverse research stream.
自从金融科技（fintech）模式实施以来，与之相关的研究数量迅速增长。对这一文献库进行综述将有助于确定已探索的主题，并确定进一步研究的主题。本研究项目收集、综合并分析文献的研究策略（即方法）和内容（如主题、重点、类别），然后讨论未来研究工作的议程。我们搜索了过去20年发表的金融科技研究，并分析了在此期间发表在2019年澳大利亚商学院院长理事会名单中各自的A*、A和B级期刊上的146篇金融类文章和70篇信息系统（IS）类文章。我们发现，在最近6年期间，研究活动水平不断提高，且金融科技文章的分布存在偏差，侧重于探索性方法。我们还发现，在金融科技研究中，有几种研究策略的代表性不足或根本没有，同时确定了几个需要进一步探索的主题领域。我们还创建了四个金融科技主题类别，以组织和分类这一多样化的研究领域。
