Relevance of Islamic Banking in Academic Arena: A Bibliometric and Citation Analysis
Abstract
Islamic banking, also known as interest-free banking, refers to a financial system that operates in accordance with Islamic law or Sharia principles, guided by the principles outlined in the Quran. In Islamic economics, the acquisition of financial interests is strictly prohibited. This article employed bibliometric and citation analysis techniques to evaluate the scholarly literature on Islamic banking. The research utilized the Web of Science database from Clarivate Analytics to extract papers containing the term “Islamic banking.” The bibliometric analysis was performed using software tools such as Biblioshiny( ) package from RStudio and VOS viewer. The analysis aimed to acquaint researchers and professionals with the most prolific authors, sources, institutions, and countries in the field of study. It also sought to identify influential research channels and the impact of authors, sources, countries, and research topics. Additionally, the analysis aimed to identify significant clusters within the Islamic banking research and provide valuable information for further investigations.
