PurposeHalal and Islamic tourism is gaining attention in the tourism literature in recent years. This study uses bibliometric analytical techniques to explore all the publications indexed in the Scopus database in the broad subject of Halal and Islamic tourism from 2004 to 2021.Design/methodology/approachThe authors found 238 publications that fit the function, subject and set criteria. The papers were analysed in terms of publication by knowledge area, number of studies published every year, contribution by countries, number of authors and most influential journals. VOS viewer was used to perform a visual analysis on co-occurrence of keywords and document citations.FindingsAccording to the findings, the Scopus database includes 151 (34.40%) documents on business, management and accounting, and 89 (20.27%) documents on social science. It was reported that 29 documents were published in 2018, followed by 54 documents in 2019 and 56 documents in 2021. Malaysia has contributed 86 documents on Islamic tourism, whereas Indonesia has contributed 64 documents. The paper also discusses other interesting findings.Research limitations/implicationsThe bibliometric analysis carried out was confined to Scopus data. Other national and international databases were not taken into account for this research.Originality/valueBetween 2004 and 2021, this study examined relevant studies on Halal and Islamic tourism. The study presents a concise review of the literature accessible to researchers working in this area and provides recommendations for future research.

A Bibliometric mapping of peer-to-peer lending research based on economic and business perspective

“…The collection of samples for this bibliometric analysis has passed through five stages. The following is the modified combinations by Suban et al. (2021) , Sukmana (2020) ; Narayan and Phan (2017) .…”

Analisis Bibliometrik Pariwisata Halal Untuk Mengeksplorasi Determinan Daya Saing Destinasi Wisata

“…Penelitian terdahulu yang membahas mengenai pariwisata Islami dan pariwisata halal sudah banyak dilakukan. Penelitian tersebut fokus pada tujuan pariwisata halal, faktor pendorong dan penghambat pariwisata halal serta hasil dari adanya pariwisata halal (Suban, Madhan, & Shagirbasha, 2021). Pendekatan bibliometrik dalam penelitian pariwisata halal juga telah dilakukan untuk mengeksplorasi riset-riset yang telah dilakukan serta saran untuk penelitian yang akan datang (Abdullah, 2021;Hidayat & Rafiki, 2021;Ismail, Othman, & Ismail, 2019;Rusydiana, Aswad, Pratomo, Hendrayanti, & Sanrego, 2021;Shnyrkova, Predvoditeleva, & Reshetnikova, K. V., 2020;Yagmur, Ehtiyar, & Aksu, 2020).…”

Three decades of halal food scholarly publications: A PubMed bibliometric network analysis

“…Although there has been recently a surge in applying bibliometric network analysis to examine the intellectual structure in myriad scientific fields (Bouzembrak et al, 2019; de la Hoz‐Correa et al, 2018; Zhu & Hua, 2017), to the best of our knowledge, no previous studies have used the PubMed database to examine the “intellectual structure” of the halal food research. Existing bibliometric research examining halal food has either focused on specific halal aspects such as halal supply chain (Islam et al, 2020), halal food safety (Wahyuni et al, 2019), and halal food within the context of halal tourism (Suban et al, in press) or used different databases such as Scopus or WoS (Haleem et al, 2020; Iranmanesh et al, in press). We believe that filling this lacuna allows us to make at least two contributions to the existing research.…”
