A Ten-Year Review of The Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics (TUJISE): A Bibliometric Study

Abstract

Islamic finance and economics are receiving increasing attention in the modern global economy, and the Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics (TUJISE) has become a key voice in this area of study. Since its launch in 2014 by the Research Centre for Islamic Economics (IKAM) in Turkey, TUJISE has grown into a major forum for academic discourse on Islamic finance and economics. Hence, evaluating the effect and influence of publications such as TUJISE is crucial as the academic community continually evolves. This article explores the complex terrain of TUJISE’s contributions and impact through bibliometric analysis. By examining the journal’s evolution over ten years, from its first issue in 2014 until December 31, 2023, the research seeks to identify significant patterns within its pages. A comprehensive examination of 156 papers was conducted using statistical tools like Microsoft Excel and Python. This thorough analysis elucidates the development of TUJISE and its growing worldwide influence in the field of Islamic finance and economics. The journal’s publication and citation statistics demonstrate an upward trajectory, according to the results of the bibliometric study. Turkey, the journal’s native country, continues to be prominently represented, although non-Muslim and Muslim-minority countries also make significant contributions. Countries such as Malaysia, Pakistan, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia, Indonesia, and others are actively participating in this growing trend. It is recommended that the number of issues be increased and English abstracts translated into other languages, such as Turkish.
