This study examines the present scholarly research on blockchain technology in supply chain management. The primary purpose of this working paper is to visualize and perform a scientometric review 468 publications published between 2007 2021 from Web Science database. Co-author analysis, co-word co-citation analysis highlight main concepts hotspots provide light important specializations developing trends. primarily uses Citespace5.8. R1 conduct systematic author collaboration networks, keyword co-occurrence clustering, burstiness, literature graph spectrum networks domain management identify state, development trend, hotspots, frontiers. Research shows that :(1) since 2017, application has expanded rapidly. China United States are particularly advanced area compared other nations. (2) "blockchain management" mainly focuses technical framework theory, which distributed ledger smart contracts control operations. Simultaneously, innovation should be combined with artificial intelligence, Internet Things, technologies enhance trust, transparency, traceability, performance index, security chain. (3) horizon integration RFID for Industry 4.0, intending improve optimize each node.
