Evolution in Islamic capital market: a bibliometric analysis

Abstract

Purpose This study aims to explore the evolution of the Islamic capital market (ICM) from the perspective of research publications. Design/methodology/approach A bibliometric analysis was applied based on selected publications from the Web of Science Core Collection (WoSCC) database from 2000 to 2021. The study adopted VOSviewer software which was developed by Leiden University. Findings This study has some implications that need urgent action. Firstly, there are some areas that have received little attention among researchers, although they are relevant to the industry, for instance, in fintech and blockchain in ICM. Secondly, the inconsistent frequency of publications in some niche areas may suggest that there are unprecedented events that hinder further research; probably, the researcher may anticipate more information and progress in the industry. Thirdly, the need to strengthen the collaboration between industry and academia to advance research. Research limitations/implications This study considered only the WoSCC database. The provider of WoSCC is Clarivate (formerly known as Thomson Reuters), where access to publications is limited to institutional subscribers. The implications of this study are to identify and propose future research trends in the field of ICM. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the present study is among the pioneer studies in analysing bibliometric focusing on ICM. Previous research has focused on Islamic finance and banking, and not specifically on ICM. Accordingly, this study sheds light on research gaps in ICM.

Mapping Multi Akad Research in Sharia Banks: VOSviewer Bibliometric Study and Literature Review

“…According to (Budianto, 2022) bibliometrics is a statistical analysis of books, articles, or other publications.

Bibliometrics are useful for evaluating and mapping the research of a researcher, the research organization, and the country over a period of time.…”
