“…However, there has been no bibliometric analysis focusing on Muslim-friendly Tourism using VOSviewer software to perform mapping analysis. Thus, this study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis in the field of Muslimfriendly Tourism to identify development trends, visualize hotspots, and assess the current relevance of the subject (Lee et al, 2023). This analysis will enable future researchers to identify areas that require further attention.…”

This manuscript focuses on the growth of Muslim-friendly tourism through a thorough bibliometric analysis, addressing the emerging subject in this field. It starts by outlining how important it is to accommodate Muslim tourists in the global tourism scene. Methodologically, the analysis utilized VOSviewer software, and data was collected from national and international publications covering the years 2018–2023 using the Publish or Perish application. The results provide insights into the changing themes and patterns in Muslim-friendly tourism, guiding future research and advancement. Based on the results, the number of studies related to Muslim-friendly tourism in 2018 was low, with only 2 related studies. In the following years, this topic became significantly popular, with a number of studies conducted by various researchers, particularly in 2021 and 2023. In 2019, there was a significant increase, with 9 related studies. In 2021 and 2023, 22 relevant studies were found. There was also a slight decline in 2020, with 7 studies, and 10 studies in 2022. This data is helpful in evaluating the novelty of topics related to Muslim-friendly tourism.

Integrative Medicine (IM), which includes therapies such as acupuncture, herbal medicine, yoga, and meditation, is gaining attention for managing chronic pain conditions. However, concerns about the quality of evidence supporting the use of these interventions persist. The 5th Annual Jaseng Academic conference 2024, in Seoul, South Korea, themed "Robust Evidence in Integrative Medicine: Innovations, Challenges, and Future Directions," addressed these concerns by focusing on advancements in study design, evidence synthesis, and open science practices. This conference proceeding summarizes key insights from the conference, emphasizing the role of pragmatic randomized controlled trials (pRCTs) in evaluating real-world effectiveness, and addressing the complexities involved in IM research such as sham controls. The integration of IM therapies into comprehensive pain management strategies (particularly in Korea), supported by government-backed research and policy initiatives was also discussed. Advancements in methodologies were addressed, such as bibliometric analysis, evidence mapping, and the development of clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) for integrative therapies. These methodologies offer valuable insights but face challenges due to the heterogeneity of IM interventions, and potential synergistic or antagonistic effects when combined with conventional medicine. Finally, the potential of open science to enhance transparency, reporting, and reproducibility in IM was explored, emphasizing the increased role of adherence to reporting guidelines (CONSORT and PRISMA). The future of IM research is built upon the continued efforts of refined study designs, rigorous evidence synthesis, and the integration of open science principles, for a robust and more credible evidence base.
