Abstract Over the past three decades, the banking industry has influenced by significant events such as deregulation, the advent of new technologies, the trend of globaliza‑ tion and financial crises. These events influenced the research areas of the field. This paper provides the study of an emerged timespan view of the development and evo‑ lution of banking literature from 1994 to 2017, during our explorations of literature from 1900 onward. It explores the changes, examines the conceptual orientations by the authors, and outlines the future study areas in the banking studies. We created a dataset of 8278 records of banking papers from Web of Science scientific citation indexing service. The results of scientometrics analysis of the articles indicate that banking literature falls into eight different coherent themes of study such as compe‑ tition, debt, economies of scale, financial crises, credit, saving, banking in transition, and finance. Our findings show that among the eight emerged themes, the two study areas of financial crisis and competition are the youngest ones that will have a sig‑ nificant impact on the opening of future research avenues in banking studies.

1 Introduction The scientific body of knowledge in banking is continuously evolving. At a dif‑ ferent period of times, authors concentrated on a diverse range of subjects as demanded. Over the past three decades, necessary measures such as deregulation (Berger and Mester 2003), zrapid change in technology (Frame 2010) and finan‑ cial crises during 2007–2009 (Campello et al. 2010) have greatly influenced the research areas of the field. For example, matters such as the strategy and perfor‑ mance of banks, competition, issues related to risk management and governance, concerns such as bank capital, mergers, and acquisitions, and liquidity in banking have been under the focus of banking studies for many years (Wilson et al. 2010; Burger and Moormann 2010; Berger and Bouwman 2009). These studies have been published in the form of a rich body of academic literature in the field of banking by scholarly and high-ranked journals. The banking literature was explored and analyzed by researchers from differ‑ ent angles in the form of review articles. Many studies have examined signifi‑ cant banking issues such as scale, scope, well-being, and efficiency of banks. For example, Berger et al. (1993a,
