Abstract
Bibliometric Analysis of Islamic Economics and Finance Literature
This study aims to obtain a general point of view by revealing the existing knowledge on Islamic economics and finance, and thus to create a guideline on possible areas for future studies. In this context, the literature on Islamic economics and finance was examined with bibliometric analysis. The results show that the interest in the subject is increasing. The most important actors of this trend have been identified as Malaysia, USA and UK. Malaysia ranks first in terms of the number of published works and the number of citations. Considering the diversity of subjects in the studies in the field of Islamic finance, it can be said that the concept of Islamic banking will continue to maintain its importance in the forthcoming period. When examined in terms of periods, the first period can be defined as a formation stage in which definitions related to the field are revealed. In this period, the coexistence between Islam and banking and finance was tried to be explained. In the second period that followed, the studies carried out in the field made it possible to transfer the accumulated knowledge to practice by focusing more on applications. In the last period, the association of Islamic finance concepts with different fields indicates that the field has completed a certain development process. By looking at the rate of formation of existing interactions, it can be interpreted that the interactions that will take place in the future will be much more diversified.
