ABSTRACT

Blockchain, as a decentralized platform and distributed ledger database, will promote the centralized system to form a comprehensive ecosystem. A systematic review of blockchain research on information systems during the five-year period from 2016 to 2020 selected 46 papers from 16 leading journals. This paper introduces the technological characteristics and implementation models, highlighting its research status and development. Moreover, this paper illustrates the future research directions for blockchain. The objective of this paper is to discuss the emerging technology of blockchain in its early development stage and to depict the relevant IS issues that are worthy of further investigation.

摘要

区块链作为一个去中心化的平台和分布式账本数据库，将推动中心化系统形成一个全面的生态系统。对 2016 年至 2020 年 5 年信息系统区块链研究的系统回顾，选取了 16 种主要期刊中的 46 篇论文。本文介绍了其技术特点和实现模式，重点介绍了其研究现状和发展情况。此外，本文阐述了区块链未来的研究方向。本文的目的是讨论处于早期发展阶段的新兴区块链技术，并描述值得进一步研究的相关信息系统问题。
