“…To further examine the role of keywords in research trends, we used thematic mapping to examine the relevance and development of the top 30 keywords used between 2019–2022. A thematic map scores and classifies the co-occurrence network keyword clusters across four quadrants ( Aria et al 2022 ; Liu et al 2015 ). The scores include measures of density and centrality.…”

“…An alternative view of the emergence of topics of interest can be obtained through the evolution of thematic maps as shown in Figure 8 . A thematic map [ 30 , 31 ] is a 2D projection of trend topics, whose dimensions are centrality (relevance of a topic in the research field) and density (maturity in the development of a topic). Thus, the four quadrants of the map (counterclockwise) represent motor themes (first quadrant), highly specialised themes (second), emerging themes (third), and fundamental themes (fourth).…”

“…It shows how the highly used keywords (i.e., Islamic banking in purple cluster and Indonesia in green cluster) connect to other important keywords used at least 4 times in the total of 1318 sampled keywords. Furthermore, thematic analysis can best map the sampled keywords into 4 important quadrants (Massimo Aria et al, 2022). Figure 9 shows the thematic map of the most highly used keywords within the sample of 1120 author keywords.…”
