Abstract

Considering the increasing attention and significance of Islamic economics and finance in today's global economy, it is crucial to continue advancing research and disseminating knowledge in this field through reputable academic journals. The Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance (JIEF) is a cornerstone in the realm of academic discourse within Islamic economics and finance in Turkey. The first issue of the journal was published in 2015 by the International Research Centre of Islamic Economics and Finance (IRCIEF) under Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University. As the scholarly community continually evolves, understanding the impact and influence of academic journals becomes crucial. This article embarks on a bibliometric journey, unravelling the intricate tapestry of JIEF's contributions and influence. The purpose of this study is to track the journal's development from its inaugural issue in 2015 until December 31, 2023, and to identify noteworthy trends within it. A total of 102 articles were analysed using statistical software such as Microsoft Excel and Python. According to the findings of the bibliometric analysis, the journal's publishing and citation trends are generally on the rise. Although Turkey, the journal's native nation, predominates, non-Muslim and Muslim minority countries also contribute to this rising trend. Increasing the number of issues and translating Turkish and Arabic publications into English are recommended.

İslam Ekonomisi ve Finansı Dergisi (İEFD)'nin Bibliyometrik Analizi

Abstract

Günümüzün küresel ekonomisinde İslam ekonomisi ve finansının artan ilgi ve önemi göz önüne alındığında, saygın akademik dergiler aracılığıyla bu alanda araştırmaları ilerletmeye ve bilgiyi yaymaya devam etmek büyük önem taşımaktadır. İslam Ekonomisi ve Finansı Dergisi (İEFD), Türkiye'de İslam ekonomisi ve finansı alanındaki akademik söylem alanında bir mihenk taşıdır. Derginin ilk sayısı 2015 yılında İstanbul Sabahattin Zaim Üniversitesi'ne bağlı Uluslararası İslam Ekonomisi ve Finansı Araştırma Merkezi (IRCIEF) tarafından yayımlandı. Akademik topluluk sürekli olarak geliştikçe, akademik dergilerin etkisini ve etkisini anlamak hayati önem taşıyor. Bu makale, İEFD'in katkıları ve etkisinin karmaşık dokusunu çözerek bibliyometrik bir yolculuğa çıkıyor. Bu çalışmanın amacı derginin 2015 yılındaki açılış sayısından 31 Aralık 2023 tarihine kadar olan gelişimini takip etmek ve dergideki dikkate değer eğilimleri tespit etmektir. Toplam 102 makale Microsoft Excel ve Python gibi istatistik yazılımları kullanılarak analiz edildi. Bibliyometrik analiz bulgularına göre derginin yayınlanma ve atıf eğilimleri genel olarak artış göstermektedir. Derginin ana vatanı olan Türkiye ağırlıkta olsa da, gayrimüslim ve Müslüman azınlık ülkeleri de bu yükselişe katkıda bulunuyor. Sayı sayısının artırılması, Türkçe ve Arapça yayınların İngilizceye çevrilmesi önerilir.
