  1. TUJISE Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics Looking at the ‘Big Picture’ in Islamic Economics and Finance Literature A Bibliometric Analysis of WoS Indexed Documents Ali Can Yenice Mücahit Özdemir Abdussamed Koç Abstract: This study aimed to indicate the general trend of Islamic economics and finance (IEF) studies through bibliometric analysis. Therefore, the Web of Science (WoS), which is one of the most respected databases, for the period 1975-2019 with a total of 1,120 documents is examined. The documents were classified, analyzed, and visualized through VOS-viewer software, and the main trends in terms of countries, organizations, authors, and publishers were indicated. This study revealed the trends of IEF literature by reviewing thirty articles with the most co-citations and creating a keyword map. The findings showing the current state and trends of the IEF discipline are quite remarkable. It has been found that Malaysia ranks first among countries and institutions in terms of the number of publications. While Abbas Mirakhor was the author with the most publications, the International Journal of Islamic and Middle Eastern Finance and Management was the most publishing institution. Besides, in keyword network analysis, it is seen that the institutions and subjects of Islamic finance are dominant in Islamic economics and finance studies. These findings bringing the “Is the IEF discipline financialized?” debate back to the agenda is expected to inspire many new study topics. Keywords: Islamic economics and finance, Bibliometric analysis, Web of Science, VOSviewer.

  2. Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics (TUJISE) Introduction Islamic economics and finance (IEF) is still a new discipline, although Islam’s principles and ideas for the economy have their roots in ancient times. The 20th century witnessed the independence of several Muslim countries and their efforts to solve their economic, social, and political problems in an “Islamic” way. Political and economic independence has been on the agenda of Muslim countries. In this process, many institutions have been established to ensure Muslim countries’ economic independence and support their development. The establishment of the Islamic Development Bank and many other Islamic financial institutions in the 1970s led to the development and spread of the modern IEF discipline (El-Ashker & Wilson, 2006). Today, Islamic financial institutions have shown double-digit growth rates, and their total assets have reached USD 2.4 trillion in 2019 (IFSB, 2020). Although the share of Islamic finance in the global financial system is low, the financial needs of millions of Muslims have been served by not only Islamic banks but also by other financial institutions such as Islamic insurance (takaful) and Islamic funds. While the IEF was initially seen as a practical solution for the underdevelopment of Muslim countries, it has become a modern discipline with the emergence of academic literature. Accordingly, undergraduate and graduate education are given at many universities in various countries of the world. The literature is getting richer thanks to the theses and dissertations generated by the students of these institutions. For this reason, there has been a noteworthy increase in academic studies in recent years (Akram Khan, 2016). These scholarly attempts in IEF should be indicated by objective scientific methods in terms of quality and quantity so that we can understand 45 years of evolution trend. The bibliometric method helps to conduct this type of analysis. The bibliometric method refers to the use of mathematics and statistical methods in scientific studies. It has been used in natural sciences since the mid-17th century and in other disciplines since the 20th century. Bibliometric indicators have helped in making advances not only in the evaluation studies in natural sciences and medical research but also in applied and engineering sciences, humanities, and social sciences (Bellis, 2014, p. 23). Besides, bibliometric mapping allows visualizing scientific and technological developments and actors playing essential roles in scholarly studies. Mapping methods, along with performance metrics for citation, publication, and impact, provide a powerful analytical tool to evaluate research activities and track scientific and technological developments (Van Raan, 1993, p. 151). With the development of information technologies, the number of academic publications has increased day by day. This situation makes it difficult to determine 2
  3. Yenice , Özdemir, Koç, Looking at the ‘Big Picture’ in Islamic Economics and Finance Literature: A Bibliometric Analysis of WoS Indexed Documentsics which scientific sources are important and which ones lead to scientific knowledge. In this context, it is stated that bibliometric studies provide information from a comprehensive perspective about scientists, institutions, countries, and study subjects. This information enables stakeholders interested in the subject to learn about the phenomenon in a short time (Roemer & Borchardt, 2015, p. 211). This study aims to reveal the general trend in scholarly studies in IEF from different perspectives by using the bibliometric method. The study differentiates from the other relevant bibliometric researches on IEF by covering the WoS database with a relatively long period, namely 40 years, and a broader perspective. Therefore, it is expected to fill the important gap in the literature and reveal the big picture about the IEF literature. By implementing bibliometric analysis in the IEF, we have tried to answer the following research questions: 1- Which countries have the most publications in this field, and what is the historical trend? 2- Which University/Institute has the most articles, and what is the historical trend? 3- Who are the authors with the most articles, and how many citations are they received? 4- Which are the most productive publishers? 5- What are the most influential documents and their research topics? 6- What is the intellectual structure of the IEF literature? The paper is organized as follows. The first section briefly provided information about the bibliometric studies on Islamic economics and finance. While Section 2 elaborates the method used in the paper, Section 3 presents the findings of the bibliometric analysis within four categories: ‘affiliated countries and institutions’, ‘authors and publishers’, ‘citation and co-citation analysis’, and ‘keyword analysis’. The last section concludes the paper. Literature Review Although there are several bibliometric studies in IEF, bibliometric studies on the IEF discipline have been increasing recently. The first studies date back to the 1980s (Ahmad, 1980). There is limited literature in these studies, and today’s databases are not used. Bibliometric studies were restricted to the resources physically 3
  4. Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics (TUJISE) available to the authors; therefore, a limited number of publications were listed. They were similar to bibliographies. Recently bibliometric analysis has become more complex and comprehensive due to the availability of modern databases and software tools such as VOSviewer and RStudio. Özdemir and Selçuk (2021) summarized the available bibliometric studies in the IEF discipline within four categories. These categories are presented below by slightly modified. Publication-based: Such bibliometric studies analyze the documents published in qualified internationally indexed journals. Scopus and WoS databases have been mostly used in these studies (see; Alshater et al., 2020; Bayram & Altarturi, 2020; Biancone et al., 2020; Abdullah Khan et al., 2020). They reveal the general picture of the IEF literature. Sector-based: Several studies focus on the specific sector of IEF, such as Sukuk, Takaful, Islamic microfinance (see; Aliyu et al., 2017; Irfan, 2020; Ashraf Khan et al., 2020; Paltrinieri et al., 2019). This category sometimes overlaps with the first category. In other words, if the study uses the WoS database to determine the published documents related to the particular sector, ie. Sukuk uses the Wos index; it falls under both categories. Project-based: These types of studies aim to become a reference source. In addition to providing comprehensive general literature, they sometimes create websites so that they make them accessible to a wide range of users (such as Ali, 2008; IKAM, 2021). Publisher-based: Bibliometric analysis of journals, master’s and doctoral dissertations generally fall under this category (see; Ahmid & Ondes, 2019; Ali & AlQuradaghi, 2019; Firmansyah & Faisal, 2019; Handoko, 2020; Özdemir & Selçuk, 2021)theses and publications of Islamic economics and finance, the Bibliometric research leads to the acquisition of diverse data on scientific contributions in this field. By analyzing PhD dissertations data, the productivity of individuals and institutions can be measured. In this paper, all postgraduate dissertations (PhD. Publication-based bibliometric articles examine the data obtained from international databases and show the general view of IEF literature. For instance, Alshater et al. (2020) reviewed 1,940 English studies using Scopus databases from 1983-2019. In the study, Islamic finance’s scientific and intellectual development was examined with RStudio, VOSviewer software. In another study, Bayram and Altarturi (2020) used the bibliometric method to examine Islamic finance education. They used EBSCO as the database, and the results are evaluated only within 4
  5. Yenice , Özdemir, Koç, Looking at the ‘Big Picture’ in Islamic Economics and Finance Literature: A Bibliometric Analysis of WoS Indexed Documentsics the framework of Islamic finance. Biancone et al. (2020) focused on Islamic banking and finance and chose the Scopus database. They use “Islamic banking” and “Islamic finance” keywords and 7,662 scientific contributions between the years 1980-2020. This study revealed the current state and future trends of the Islamic finance discipline by making bibliometric analysis on the Scopus database. In other research by Abdullah Khan et al. (2020), IEF literature between 2005 and 2020 was investigated in terms of the contributions of authors, institutions, and countries. This study focused on 242 articles and determined five themes: banking, equities, Sukuk, theoretical, and funds. These themes cover 92 percent of 242 articles. In sector-based bibliometric studies, the researchers have focused on sub-sectors of Islamic finance. Aliyu et al. (2017) conducted a study on the sustainability of Islamic banking. They found that Islamic banking should establish a balance between institutional, social, and environmental sustainability to achieve Sharia’s objectives. Irfan (2020) discussed the current situation of the Islamic microfinance sector in India through a bibliographic approach. It is suggested that Islamic microfinance will be explained over seven themes: economic development, social benefits, religious values, business enterprises, poverty alleviation, sustainable development, and rural development. Ashraf Khan et al. (2020) focused on takaful which is a promising sector of Islamic finance. They aimed to explain the current state of the scholarly works related to takaful, such as the governance mechanism and the expectations of takaful customers. For this purpose, both bibliometric analysis and content analysis were performed using the WoS database between 2010-2018. Paltrinieri et al. (2019) conducted a study on Sukuk. Using the quantitative and qualitative approaches known as meta-literature review, the Sukuk literature between 1950-2018 was examined. This is the first study to evaluate the Sukuk literature through a meta-literature review. Project-based bibliometric studies are usually implemented with the support of various institutions. The project group under The Research Center for Islamic Economics (IKAM) in Turkey created a bibliography that includes Turkish, English, and Arabic publications on IEF. They have reviewed and conducted content analysis and presented the findings through the website (IKAM, 2021). Publisher-based studies have been conducted to demonstrate the contributions of specific institutions or organizations to the IEF discipline. Ahmid and Ondes (2019) analyzed the Ph.D. dissertations written between 2000-2008 in the UK. The study aimed to reveal a general map of IEF in the UK. Several studies focused on the specific journals. For instance, Özdemir and Selçuk (2021) conducted a bibliometric analysis of the International Journal of Islamic and Middle Eastern Finance and 5
  6. Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics (TUJISE) Management (IMEFM), the only SSCI indexed journal IEF. They demonstrated the publications trend, topics, and other relevant information about the published articles in IMEFM. Besides, Handoko (2020) conducted bibliometric analysis by focusing on IEF discipline authors and Ali and AlQuradaghi (2019) publishers and researchers. Methodology In this study, we applied bibliometric analysis methods to reveal the current state of the literature of modern IEF. Bibliometric and citation analyses have become an important method for both the library and information science (Gomez-Jauregui et al., 2014, p. 257). Researchers find answers to many questions, such as which studies guide the literature, and what are the trends in study topics through bibliometric studies. Bibliometric studies allow the researchers and readers to see the ‘big picture’ by classifying the existing scientific accumulation and provide valuable clues about the future of scientific developments (Roemer & Borchardt, 2015, p. 211). This study seeks to answer the research questions using citation, co-citation (documents and author based), and co-occurrence (based on author keywords) analysis. Data The data for bibliometric analysis can be derived from many databases, especially Web of Science (WoS), Google Scholar, and Scopus. In this study, the WoS database was preferred due to several reasons. Firstly, the WoS database is significantly reputable among international databases by covering publications that have high impact factors. It is the first and most important database that follows the network of citations when citing others’ works in a scientific study. For this reason, the most known and used database for bibliometric is WoS (Roemer & Borchardt, 2015, p. 49). Also, it covers many journals in the IEF so that WoS users provide access to enough articles for bibliometric analysis. Package programs are used for many analyses and allow for broader classification by deriving relevant data from the database in the specific format suitable for the package programs. Lastly, the access to the database through membership by the library makes WoS convenient to conduct bibliometric analysis, which has recently become more prevalent in a wide range of academic fields. Search Criteria and Limitations All publications from 1975 to 2019 in the WoS database have been filtered by using the keywords “Islamic Economics” or “Islamic Finance” or “Islamic Economy” because these three terms comprise a wide range of subjects from Islamic banking, Is6

The final form of the documents list was obtained by 30 June 2020, and the publications published after this date were not included in the study. 1,120 documents were found within the scope of determined keywords, and bibliometric analysis was performed. Table 1 presents the overview of the data (Appendix A). Table 1 General View of the Data Category Result Documents (Articles, Conference Proceedings, Books, etc.) 1,120 Country 67 Organization 898 Author 1,444 Author Per Document 1.29 Author Key Word 2,087 First Document Date 1982 Source: Authors’ own. Research Framework According to the search criteria determined, the documents published in the WoS database were analyzed using the bibliometric analysis technique. The author, country, institution, journal, keyword, and bibliography information of the publications were downloaded in “Plain text” format. These data were subjected to various analyses using the VOSviewer (van Eck & Waltman, 2010). After distributing the publications according to the database, year, country, institution, and journal information, the keywords were subjected to the co-word analysis and the bibliographic data to the co-citation analysis. A visual map of the keywords and the cited publications were generated through the VOSviewer to show the linkages between articles more properly. The research process and findings are summarized in figure 1. 7

Findings and Discussion The Most Productive Countries and Institutions The studies about IEF have been written by various authors who are affiliated with institutions from different countries. The data collected from the WoS gives a list of 67 countries; however, examining the top ten of them indicates the general picture of the literature (Appendix B). Figure 2 showed that Malaysia is the leading country that has produced 346 WoS indexed documents, namely books, journal articles, 8
  9. Yenice , Özdemir, Koç, Looking at the ‘Big Picture’ in Islamic Economics and Finance Literature: A Bibliometric Analysis of WoS Indexed Documentsics and conference proceedings. These documents of researchers from Malaysia are also the most cited studies among other countries. The noteworthy performance of Malaysia mainly stems from the country’s particular focus on the Islamic finance sector, such that the total share of the Islamic banking assets is expected to reach a 40% share (Khalid, 2020). Also, Malaysia is a pioneer in Islamic capital markets, especially in the global Sukuk market. Figure 2 Top Ten productive Countries based on the Number of Documents Note: *UAE and Tunisia share 10th place on the list with 35 documents. The documents of Tunisia were cited by 265 documents which are 63 for UAE; therefore, the former is added to the top 10 list. Moreover, many researchers from different universities and research centers have benefitted from the rich institutional and product diversities of the Malaysian Islamic finance ecosystem. Therefore, researchers in Malaysia produce many academic documents, and some of these studies have been published in WoS indexed qualified journals. Although Malaysia has significantly diverged from the other countries in terms of the number of documents, it is noted that the first documents were published very late (in 2010) compared to the US, UK, and Turkey. However, the number of documents has reached double-digit numbers since 2014 and peaked in 2017 with 81 documents. 9

The US follows Malaysia with 151 documents (16%); however, the US has the oldest documents in Islamic economics and finance. In other words, the first two documents indexed by WoS were published by US affiliated authors in 1981 and 1992. Therefore, the US had a pioneering role in carrying IEF subjects into the mainstream academic platforms, albeit Malaysia is now well ahead in terms of the total number of documents. When we compare the citations of Malaysia and the US, both of which have very close figures, the significant role of the US can also be seen in Figure 2. Apart from the US, another Western country, namely the UK, is also noticeable. The first study was published in 1994 by researchers affiliated with UK-based institutions, and the total number before 2010 is seven. The UK is one of the most prominent Islamic finance hubs, where many Islamic transactions have been conducted in capital markets. Also, the country has several universities which have Islamic finance postgraduate degree programs. Therefore, the UK will probably be at the top list of the number of researches in IEF upcoming years. There are several emerging countries in the top ten list. Indonesia is one of them with its first document in 2014 and now in a total of 48 documents. Although the country has not produced many documents yet compared to other Southeast 10
  11. Yenice , Özdemir, Koç, Looking at the ‘Big Picture’ in Islamic Economics and Finance Literature: A Bibliometric Analysis of WoS Indexed Documentsics Asian Countries, Malaysia, the country’s recent performance is promising. As similar to Indonesia, Tunisia also has its first document in 2014 and has shown a significant increase in the total number of documents. What makes Tunisia different is that the produced materials have been cited by 265 documents which are only 32 for Indonesia. Saudi Arabia, Turkey, Pakistan, Australia, France are the other countries in the top ten list with 83, 61, 47, 42, 36 documents, respectively. Table 3 The Top Ten Institutions based on the Number of Publications and Citations No Institutions Country Documents Citations 1 International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) Malaysia 160 258 2 International Centre for Education in Islamic Finance (INCEIF) Malaysia 47 69 3 The University of Malaya (UM) Malaysia 31 63 4 Durham University (DU) UK 29 59 5 The University of New Orleans (UNO) US 28 112 6 National University of Malaysia (NUM) Malaysia 28 13 7 Universiti Teknologi MARA (UTM) Malaysia 24 148 8 Universiti Sains Islam Malaysia Malaysia 17 13 9 King Abdul-Aziz University (KAU) Saudi Arabia 15 91 10 İstanbul Sabahattin Zaim University (İZÜ) Turkey 15 19 898 institutions from 67 countries were determined, and Malaysian institutions still have dominance. According to Table 3, which presents the top ten institutions, the first three institutions (IIUM, INCEIF, and UM) are from Malaysia, and they have 160, 47, and 31 documents, respectively. These three institutions are followed by Durham University from the UK with 29 documents. There has been a reputable research center in Durham University for more than 20 years, and qualified academics have worked, and many master’s and Ph.D. students have been graduating. There is another Western University in the top ten list, UNO from the US with 28. The personal performance of Professor Kabir Hassan, who was the recipient of Islamic Development Bank (IsDB) price in 2016 and already had plenty 11
  12. Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics (TUJISE) of publications in IEF, carries UNO to the fifth in the top ten list instead of collective capacity as in Durham University. Saudi Arabia has one institution as King Abdul-Aziz University (KAU,) on the list. Turkey is another country that succeeded to be included in the top ten list by İZU, which has trilingual Islamic finance programs and good international academic staff. Especially Assoc. Prof. Buerhan Saiti is one of the main contributors to İZU to be added to the list. Figure 3 Yearly Trends by Institutions When we look at the historical trend in terms of institutions, the number of documents published by IIUM affiliated researchers has decreased in recent years (Figure 3). On the other hand, another Malaysia-based university, the University of Malaya (UM) has indicated steady growth in the number of documents. It is also noted that INCEIF significantly reached its peak level with 20 publications in 2010; however, this performance has not been kept in the following years. Two Western-based universities, NUM and DU, have shown noticeable performance in 2019. İZÜ is the new entrant in the list with significant publications in recent years. İZÜ’s first WoS indexed document was published in 2017, and it was followed by seven documents in 2018 and the same number in 2019. The Most Productive Authors and Journals Many researchers from different countries have contributed to the spread of knowledge about IEF. However, some of them have a particular position in terms of the number of publications indexed in WoS. Professor Abbas Mirakhor, who has 12
  13. Yenice , Özdemir, Koç, Looking at the ‘Big Picture’ in Islamic Economics and Finance Literature: A Bibliometric Analysis of WoS Indexed Documentsics educated many qualified graduate students, is one of the representatives of the first generation in Islamic economics studies. He is the first name in the top 10 authors with 34 documents. Professor Hossein Askari, Masudul Alam Choudhury, Abul Mansur M. Masih, and Professor Syed Othman Alhabshi can also be categorized as the first generation who have 14, 12, 11, and 10 documents, respectively. First-generation scholars are followed by Professor Kabir Hassan and Professor Rusni Hassan. Kabir Hassan has one of the prominent academics in Islamic finance publications, and shortly it can be expected that he might surpass Abbas Mirakhor when considering his publishing performance.

For Professor Syed Othman Alhabshi, the publication year of his Ph.D. thesis in google academics is written as PhD completion year. 13
  14. Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics (TUJISE) Especially in the last decade, many scholars have Ph.D. degrees in IEF, and this generation produces plenty of publications in various relevant subjects. Some of the members of this new generation have places in the top ten list. Buerhan Saiti, Umar A. Oseni, Salina Kassim, and Adam Abdullah, who have Assoc. Prof. title now succeeded to be included in the top ten list. Buerhan Saiti’s performance is attention-getting because he has many documents and high citations, although he completed his Ph.D. in only 2012. Also, Dr. Adam Abdullah, who shares the 10th with Obiyathulla Ismath Bacha and Syed Othman Alhabshi, is among the young generations have a noticeable performance with ten documents. In terms of gender diversity perspective, it is noted that there is male dominance. Only two scholars, Salina Kassim and Rusni Hassan, have succeeded in entering the top ten list.

For more information, please see Emerald Author Guideline, Access Date: 28 Aug 2020. The number of journals publishing directly in IEF has been significantly increasing recently. Currently, there are 61 journals that are publishing in different languages (Shafiq, 2019). However, eight of these journals are indexed/abstracted by qualified databases. Six of these journals succeeded to include in Table 5, specific to IEF, which are IMEFM, JIABR, IJIF, IJEMA, TUJISE, JIMA, and Emerald publishes all of them except TUJISE. The journals dedicated to IEF that are not included in the top ten journal list are Journal of King Abdul Aziz University: Islamic Economics, Journal of Islamic Economics, Banking and Finance, and International Journal of Economics, Management and Accounting (Shafiq, 2019, pp. 7–9). On the other hand, several qualified mainstream journals welcome the researches on IEF, as seen in Table 5. Borsa Istanbul, which is recently achieved to be indexed by SSCI, has 15 documents about IEF. The Most Influential Documents The most effective books and articles are determined through citation analysis of the documents. In this context, the first ten documents with the most citations in WoS are shown in Table 6. While Islamic finance-related studies have the significant majority in the most cited studies, many of those studies focused on Islamic stock markets. We encounter a similar situation in the co-citation analysis as the dominance of Islamic finance studies in IEF literature. Besides, the first three most cited articles are also in the top 10 in co-citation analysis. This situation confirms that the interest in the discipline of IEF is concentrated in Islamic finance. 15

  18. Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics (TUJISE) Co-citation Analysis Tables 7, 8, and 9 have the results of the co-citation analysis. Co-citation is different from the number of citations in other tables. While the number of citations in other tables includes the citations made within VOSviewer, co-citation consists of the studies cited jointly by the publication examined. Articles Table 7 shows us the articles in which references are made in the bibliography of 1,120 documents scanned in WoS. Co-citation articles in the IEF mean articles that nourish and direct this discipline. When the data in Table 7 are examined, it is seen that the majority of the co-cited articles are about Islamic finance. The focus of the topics is Islamic banking, Islamic stock market, and Islamic capital market. At the same time, almost all studies are empirical. These findings confirm the view that the discipline of IEF has started to “financialize” and diverge from its core philosophy (Siddiqi, 2006; Ahmed, 2012; Asutay, 2012; Bayram & Altarturi, 2020). However, the fact that there are many studies in the IEF shows that Islamic financial actors are open to development and dynamic. These studies prove that the Islamic financial industry is developing rapidly and has an academic interest in the emerging new instrument. It is noteworthy that only one article titled “Review and analysis of current Shariah-compliant equity screening practices” among the others in the top ten list was published in IEF dedicated journal, namely International Journal of Islamic and Middle Eastern Finance and Management. All other papers were published in mainstream journals, which have a high impact factor. 18

Empirical Islamic banks use debt-based products instead of profit-loss sharing instruments, and it is rational when the contractual environment is considered The differentiation in the methods of Shariah screening changes the universe of assets and causes inconsistencies in terms of the halal-haram distinction. So, there is a need for standardized Shariah screening norms. Small Islamic banks tend to be financially stronger than small commercial banks. It is also revealed that large commercial banks are likely to be financially stronger than large Islamic banks. On the other hand, small Islamic banks are financially stronger than large Islamic banks.

Islamic Finance This article explores whether Islamic banking and finance has a ‘western’ character in terms of economicgeography. Empirical Theoretical Theoretical Islamic equity funds underperform compared to not only conventional but also Islamic equity benchmarks. Therefore, the authors argue that Muslim investors should prefer index-tracking funds or ETFs rather than individual IEFs to have a better performance. Islamic indices outperform compared to conventional counterparts in of the period crisis, but the results are inconclusive for non-crisis periods. It is emphasized that the Islamic economy alone does not constitute a system but a sub-economy within the capitalist system. The author argues that the Islamic economy is inadequate in analytical and theoretical terms. In the study, it is determined that Islamic finance, which is more than a banking application, has a heterogeneous structure.
  22. Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics (TUJISE) Books Table 8 provides the reference works in IEF. They were published in mainstream publishing houses. All of them are focused on Islamic finance, not any of them deal with issues related to Islamic economics. It is noted that only one of them (Islamic Law and Finance: Religion, Risk, and Return) written by Western scholars, and it is the oldest one in the list. The books range from introduction to advanced, containing both theoretical and practical details. The recent publication of the books allows readers to access much information on current issues. Since the Islamic economy requires both fiqh and knowledge of economics, people working in this field must master these two disciplines. Therefore, the books in table 8 will provide readers with unique information on fiqh and the economy.

The book clarifies multi-dimensional issues at a basic level. The book examines Islamic finance architecture on a global scale, including the theoretical framework of Islamic finance, practical developments, differentiation between countries, financial products and institutions.

Zamir & Mirakhor (2011) 30 It is an introductory book for Islamic finance. Distinguishing features of Islamic finance from conventional finance, contracts in Islamic law, and Islamic finance products are explained clearly. It is a reference book for Islamic finance readers. Various topics related to Islamic finance, such as Islamic law, contracts in Islamic law, the financial performance of Islamic banking, are discussed in the book. It is a reference book that comprehensively describes Islamic finance. The book deals with Islamic finance theory and practices. One of the original aspects of the book is that it is written in a way that even someone who does not know anything about Islamic finance can understand. * Access Date: 23 Aug 2020 Authors Table 9 shows the most co-cited authors of the articles examined in WoS. This means that the authors guide the literature in IEF with their ideas and thoughts. In other words, these authors have played a leading role in the formation of the literature and have been instrumental in the formation of articles in WoS and the growth and deepening of the literature. In table 9, the authors who contributed to 23
  24. Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics (TUJISE) the development of the IEF literature are from different generations. For example, Chapra and Mirakhor, early Islamic finance thinkers, were highly cited within WoS indexed documents. However, in the years when Islamic finance literature was developing, after 1980, there are also people who published and cited publications in this discipline. Timur Kuran and Beck are noteworthy in this respect. At this point, it is necessary to differentiate Beck because he is working more on conventional finance. Beck has only a few studies on Islamic banking, but numerous publications have cited them. On the other hand, it is noteworthy to mention that although Kuran is very critical in IEF, many studies have cited him, and he has become the second most cited author. This table also gives clues as to where the literature is headed. The fact that the majority of the quoted authors are working in Islamic finance and the subject of co-cited articles in Islamic finance, as (Asutay, 2012) stated, the discipline of the Islamic economy is financialized.

  25. Yenice , Özdemir, Koç, Looking at the ‘Big Picture’ in Islamic Economics and Finance Literature: A Bibliometric Analysis of WoS Indexed Documentsics Figure 4 represents the network map of co-cited authors. The size of the bubbles showing the authors indicates that there are too many co-citations, and the thickness/fineness of the line between the two authors shows how many references are made to these two authors at the same time. In this network map, M. A. El-Gamal, T. Kuran, M.Chapra, Z. Iqbal, A. Mirakhor, and T. Beck are shown with larger bubbles because they have received many citations. However, El Gamal and M. Choudhury stand out in a central position, attracting attention as authors affecting many authors. In parallel, some writers are centrally located, although they do not receive many citations. This may be due to the publications of the authors being new. Examples of these are M. Asutay, M. Ayub, M. Iqbal. Although these authors have contributed to the IEF literature in the last 20-30 years, they have gained an important position in the literature. The Author Network map allows a bird’s-eye view of IEF literature and gives clues about the prominent authors. Figure 4 Co-citation Network Map based on Authors Source: Authors’ own Co-Occurrence Analysis The network map of the author keywords (Figure 5) shows how often the keywords of the documents scanned in WoS are used. The minimum number of occurrences 25
  26. Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics (TUJISE) of a keyword is five, and 72 out of the total 2,087 keywords meet the threshold. Accordingly, if a keyword takes place in a large number of studies, it shows that it is in a larger font if it is in many studies at the same time, it is in a more central position, and if a keyword is close to another, they are in a study at the same time. Figure 5 Keyword Network Map Source: Authors’ own. As seen in Figure 5, the clusters reveal a very close image to each other, and this shows that a definite classification has not yet been formed in the IEF literature. The figure strongly emphasizes that finance is dominant in the IEF literature. Accordingly, banking, capital market products are central to the literature in Islamic finance. As can be seen, the concepts of Islamic economics and Islamic economy are shown in decentralized places and small fonts. Institutions with a high social impact, such as waqf, zakat and Islamic microfinance, are in a weak position. These results confirm the results encountered in many parts of this bibliometric study (please see tables 5 and 6 and the conclusion section) and the views that the IEF discipline in the literature has been financialized. 26
  27. Yenice , Özdemir, Koç, Looking at the ‘Big Picture’ in Islamic Economics and Finance Literature: A Bibliometric Analysis of WoS Indexed Documentsics Conclusion In the study, IEF literature for WoS was examined by country, institution, author, and publications. Malaysia ranks first in the number of WoS publications. Parallel to the size of the Malaysian Islamic finance sector, it has a significant weight in the IEF literature. Malaysia belongs to 1st place in terms of the number of publications and citations. It also has six institutions in the top 10 according to the number of publications and citations. However, the performances of emerging countries are also remarkable. Turkey, Indonesia, and Tunisia, respectively 5, 6, and 10 have entered the top 10 list. An exciting table (see table 3) emerges as the authors are listed in terms of the number of publications indexed in WoS. Authors from different generations are included in the same table. Abbas Mirakhor, who is from the first generation, takes first place in the list, while Umar A. Oseni and Buerhan Saiti, who is considered to be the third generation, are in the 3rd and 4th place, respectively. The success of the new generations in publishing in indexed journals is remarkable. It is seen that there are not many journals that publish articles specific to the IEF discipline (See table 4). However, some conventional economics and finance journals publish articles on Islamic finance. The journal that publishes the most articles on IEF is the International Journal of Islamic and Middle Eastern Finance and Management (IMEFM). Co-citation and keyword analysis give clues to the details of the important “big picture”. Accordingly, the first 40 articles were listed in the results of the co-citation analysis. The vast majority of these articles are for Islamic finance. At the same time, Islamic finance and the Islamic capital market are at the forefront of keyword analysis. These confirm the criticisms that IEF has moved away from its basic philosophy and financialized. The scope of the paper is limited to the documents indexed by the WoS database. Therefore, future studies should be covered other relevant academic platforms which are not indexed by WoS, in the field of Islamic economics and finance.
