Abstract: The aim of this study is to categorise research on supply chain finance (SCF) based on primary ideas and techniques discussed in the literature and to suggest directions for further research. This study is based upon 139 papers published till 2nd November 2021 in international peer-reviewed elite journals. In this analysis, our initial step is to perform a thorough methodical review and diligent bibliometric analysis. We make additions to SCF research in a resulting manner. First, we classify the literature into nine problem classes based on different issues addressed in the papers. Second, we develop a framework showing research issues and outcomes of SCF. Third, we identify some research issues for future investigation. In this paper, we report a full summary of earlier research in SCF and point out the most significant topics that are relevant to be examined for further research.

Keywords: supply chain finance; SCF; bibliometric analysis; review; methodology.
