This study employs bibliometric analysis, i.e., a kind of data analytics for evaluating scholarly publications, to evaluate journal publishing management issues in the Southeast Asian context. A total of 500 Scopus-indexed documents from Jurnal Pengurusan were sampled. The finding reveals that Malaysia is the most prominent country in terms of author affiliation, country performance, and keyword appearance. The collaboration among the authors of the sampled journal is primarily from the Asian continent, with a few from Australia. The topics of this journal have incrementally evolved from conventional to contemporary issues. This journal has made substantial contributions to the subject of Islamic finance and business, which is congruent with Malaysia’s role as a global center of Islamic finance. In addition, some contemporary subjects, such as blockchain, metaverse, and fintech, have emerged, demonstrating the relevance of this journal coverage to the contemporary management issues occurring in the financial markets worldwide. This study provides a critical novelty in the assessment of scholarly publications on management issues in the Southeast Asian context with Jurnal Pengurusan as the case.
