One hundred and thirty-five articles have been chosen after careful review. This article explains the most cited articles, top authors, leading countries, prolific journals, and important keywords. This study has identified 10 different types of behavioral biases which are summarized in this article. In this review article, we only considered the journal articles excluding conference publications, editorials, and book chapters. This article is based on the existing literature on behavioral biases in investment decision-making processes. This study will be helpful for researchers and academicians to understand the impact of behavioral biases on investment decisions and to reduce it. Finally, this research will provide a roadmap for future research.
