abstract = {Blockchain is considered as a major emerging technology that is having an everincreasing spread both in industrial and academic contexts. As the usage of
blockchain keeps increasing, a fourth generation of blockchain platforms is being proposed. Thus, applications of blockchain have evolved towards wider scopes than
cryptocurrency and asset management. In this context, it is important for practitioners to have deep understanding of various blockchain assessment initiatives.
Therefore, this work discusses blockchain assessment initiatives from a technology
evolution viewpoint. Furthermore, a mapping was conducted to identify factors that
impact blockchain initiatives, synthesize available evidence, and identify gaps
between relevant approaches available in the literature. As a result, nine selected
works were analyzed based on applicability, research approach, assessment process,
blockchain adoption process, and blockchain waves. The findings can help practitioners to understand the main assessment factors that undermine blockchain
implementations.},
