Authors - Aymane Chekira, Aziz Hmioui Abstract - The rapid expansion of digital technology in recent years has significantly changed the way international supply chains (SCs) are structured, operated, and how well they perform. Among these transformations, blockchain has grown to be a major enabler for addressing continuous concerns with transparency, traceability, collaboration, and trust throughout supply chain networks. As companies seek more and more to raise supply chain performance and sustainability, scholarly investigations of blockchain-based supply chain management have grown dramatically. Descriptive and content analysis of co-occurrence key-words using Biblioshiny and VOSviewer software revealed the main research subjects and their linkages across 145 peer-reviewed Scopus-indexed publications spanning 2019–2026. Scientometrically speaking, this study examines this expanding body of research. The results point to two primary research directions: (i) how blockchain uptake influences organizational performance and supply chains, and (ii) how transparency, traceability, decision-making, and sustainable development enabled by blockchain are present in supply chains. The data analysis reveals that blockchain technology is a key and unifying feature that connects performance improvement with the goals of governance and sustainability. It emphasizes new ways for more investigation in blockchain-enabled supply chain performance and offers a systematic overview of the intellectual environment of blockchain research in supply chain management, as well as comprehensible in-sights on its thematic evolution.
