Abstract
As an emerging field of research, Blockchain is currently experiencing a lack of research frameworks to guide studies in the field. Emerging technologies are usually triggered first, and then the academic world will attempt to develop discipline for these technologies. Our current exploratory work-in-progress is an initial attempt in developing a research framework for investigating the security of data through Blockchain. This study is the first phase of a more extensive study that aims to provide a conceptual framework for blockchain research in general. In its current form, the initial proposed framework of this study can be used for both scoping as well as evaluating existing research approaches in the field of data security through blockchain technology. It is also expected to facilitate scoping and categorizing future studies by providing a set of defined set research categories in the field.
