Abstract

Blockchain technology in higher education institutions (HEIs) can revolutionize academic administration by improving data security, increasing transparency, and boosting operational efficiency. However, blockchain adoption in HEIs faces technological, organizational, and regulatory challenges. A bibliometric review procedure assessed the 246 relevant studies from Scopus peer-reviewed literature on blockchain adoption’s main themes, most prominent authors, journals, and articles. The findings highlight Blockchain’s ability to streamline credential verification, automate academic processes, and reduce administrative costs. However, key barriers such as scalability limitations, interoperability issues, financial constraints, and regulatory challenges continue to hinder widespread implementation. Besides, there is a significant gap in top management support and institutional readiness, which impacts the integration of blockchain systems in educational frameworks. This study advances the scholarly discourse on blockchain implementation in academia by examining the challenges associated with its adoption and proposing strategic solutions to facilitate its effective integration. The research implies compelling insights for policymakers, educational leaders, and technology developers eager to capitalize on the revolutionary opportunities of blockchain technology in HEIs. Besides, this study is among the first to demonstrate a structured analysis of Blockchain’s impact on operational efficiency in HEIs from a technological, organizational, and environmental perspective, addressing the gap in institutional readiness.
