Abstract
Blockchain, as a new innovative technology, has become a popular topic in many fields in recent years. In this study, triangulation was used to investigate the development of knowledge structures. First, scientometric network analysis was employed to identify the cooperation of knowledge networks. It was found that the structure of blockchain knowledge networks in China is relatively more complex and diverse than in South Korea. Since increased teamwork in blockchain is conducive to the creation of high-quality knowledge products, the Chinese government appears to strongly promote diversified cooperation on blockchain technology through centralized policies. Second, machine-learning topic modeling was used to analyze the content exchanged via a collaborative network. As a result, it was found that both countries lacked the societal and commercial aspects of blockchain technology. Finally, we developed a prediction technique based on the Ernie model to automatically categorize the nature of blockchain research.

Academic Editor: Jianxiong ZhangIn recent years, blockchain has been frequently utilized owing to its advantages in terms of data security and decentralized identification systems [1]
This paper proposes a new triangulation research method to investigate the characteristics of the knowledge structure of blockchain between China and South Korea
We use the method of scientometric network analysis to analyze the annual trends in knowledge production, field research, and the development of knowledge structure in the two countries
Summary
Blockchain has been frequently utilized owing to its advantages in terms of data security and decentralized identification systems [1]. Cryptocurrencies and many other industries are starting to use this technology [2]. Changes in industrial patterns will lead to changes in social patterns [3,4]. Since Nakamoto (2008) proposed the concept of blockchain in financial systems [5], a mixed evaluation of the future of blockchain has existed. Many countries have recognized the blockchain as an emerging technology and promoted its development to build a “smart society” [4,6].
