A Bibliometric Analysis of Performance Studies in Turkish Islamic (Participation) Banks Between 1985 and 2023
Abstract
The substantial body of research on Islamic bank performance in Türkiye necessitates a critical and in-depth literature review to attain a more profound insight and identify essential gaps in the literature. This study employs bibliometric analysis to comprehensively review performance-related studies on Turkish Islamic banks from 1985 to 2023 to achieve this objective. We have included studies conducted in both English and Turkish in the sample selection process, ensuring a comprehensive overview of the available literature. The analysis of Turkish and English studies on Turkish Islamic bank performance reveals a positive trend, with articles being the predominant source of information. The literature is diverse, covering a wide range of topics and techniques. Various research methodologies have been employed, such as econometric analysis, financial ratio analysis, and non-parametric techniques. However, a significant concern arises from the lack of proper indexing in many journals, which limits the visibility and accessibility of research on Turkish Islamic banks. Additionally, the use of outdated methodologies in some studies may hinder the validity and reliability of the findings. The findings also showed that a significant proportion of journals within which studies are published lack proper indexing or exhibit deficiencies in their indexing practices. This result raises concerns regarding the quality of the studies published in the field of Islamic bank performance in Türkiye. Exploring Islamic bank performance in Türkiye is crucial for understanding the resilience of financial intermediation, particularly during challenging economic conditions such as global financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. Türkiye, as one of the pioneers in Islamic banking, offers a rich context for studying the performance and impact of these institutions. The growing body of literature on Turkish Islamic banks provides a valuable opportunity to systematically analyze trends, identify research gaps, and develop future research directions. This study will be the first to conduct an extensive bibliometric analysis on the subject in Türkiye, despite the challenges associated with accessing and analyzing both English and Turkish language publications. By systematically reviewing the literature, this study aims to provide a comprehensive roadmap for researchers interested in exploring the performance of Islamic banks in Türkiye. The findings of this study will contribute to a deeper understanding of the factors that influence studies in Islamic bank performance and identify avenues for future research.
