Abstract: The bibliometric analytical approach has not yet been applied in 
financial crisis research. The aim of the study was to apply bibliometric analysis 
to financial crisis publications in 362 journals listed in the four ISI subject 
categories of economics, finance business, business, and management in the 
Social Science Citation Index (SSCI). Analyzed parameters were publication 
language, document type, publication output, authorship, publication patterns, 
subject category distribution, region, country, publication institute, most 
frequently cited articles, and hot issues. This study demonstrates that the 
amount of research increased markedly during financial crises, especially during 
the Asian financial crisis and global financial crisis. Furthermore, the most 
frequently cited articles and topics associated with the currency crisis, policy, 
and banking crisis were popular during the Asian financial crisis and global 
financial crisis.
