On a large scale, the public mood represented on the internet reflects the entire society. The internet’s pervasiveness in people’s lives has sparked a surge of interest among scholars in the field. The study of financial theories has been changed by the subject of market efficiency as a result of increasing anomalies. As a guide for future research, the purpose of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis focusing on tracing of investor sentiments through their web search-based queries measured by Google Trends. The analysis through VOS viewer covers 272 papers refined from SCOPUS database of 1330 articles. With the help of Citation and Co-citation analysis results identify foundation articles, turning point articles and article clusters. The study closes with recommendations for future research as well as theoretical implications.

Abstract


As an investor sentiment measurement tool, there is growing adoption of internet technology in financial market. On a large scale, the public mood represented on the internet reflects the entire society. The internet’s pervasiveness in people’s lives has sparked a surge of interest among scholars in the field. The study of financial theories has been changed by the subject of market efficiency as a result of increasing anomalies. As a guide for future research, the purpose of this study is to conduct a bibliometric analysis focusing on tracing of investor sentiments through their web search-based queries measured by Google Trends. The analysis through VOS viewer covers 272 papers refined from SCOPUS database of 1330 articles. With the help of Citation and Co-citation analysis results identify foundation articles, turning point articles and article clusters. The study closes with recommendations for future research as well as theoretical implications.
