Uluslararası İslam Ekonomisi ve Finans Araştırmaları Dergisi'nin (IJISEF) Dokuz Yıllık Kapsamlı Bibliyometrik İncelemesi

Abstract

Günümüz küresel ekonomisinde İslami finans ve ekonomi giderek daha fazla önem kazanmakta ve Uluslararası İslam Ekonomisi ve Finansı Çalışmaları Dergisi (IJISEF) bu alanda önemli bir dergi olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Politik Ekonomik ve Sosyal Araştırmalar Merkezi (PESA) tarafından İslam Ekonomisi ve Finansı Araştırma Merkezi (RECISEF) işbirliğiyle 2015 yılında kurulan IJISEF, İslami finans ve ekonomi alanındaki araştırma tartışmaları için kilit bir forum haline gelmiştir. IJISEF gibi dergilerin etki ve nüfuzunu değerlendirmek, akademinin dinamik yapısı göz önüne alındığında çok önemlidir. Bu makale, derginin katkılarını ve etkisini araştırmak için bibliyometrik analiz kullanmaktadır. Çalışma, derginin 2015'teki kuruluşundan 29 Eylül 2023'e kadar dokuz yıllık bir dönemi kapsamakta ve VOSviewer, Microsoft Excel ve Python gibi istatistiksel araçlar kullanılarak 173 yayını analiz etmektedir. Bu kapsamlı analiz, IJISEF'in gelişiminin ve İslam ekonomisi ve finansı alanında küresel çapta artan etkisinin izini sürmektedir. Bibliyometrik çalışma, sayı ve yayın sayısındaki dalgalanmalara rağmen dergiye yapılan atıflarda önemli bir artış olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Derginin menşe ülkesi olan Türkiye öne çıkmaya devam etmekle birlikte, diğer ülkeler de önemli katkılarda bulunmaktadır. Endonezya, Malezya, Nijerya, Pakistan, Tunus, Bangladeş ve Libya gibi ülkeler de bu genişleyen alana aktif olarak katkıda bulunuyor. Çalışma, yayınlanan sayıların sayısının artırılmasını ve içeriğin Türkçe gibi dillere çevrilmesini önermektedir. Ayrıca, gelecekteki araştırmalar Sürdürülebilir Kalkınma Hedefleri (SKH'ler), kripto para birimleri, fintech, blockchain ve davranışsal finans gibi konulara odaklanmalıdır.

A Thorough Nine-Year Bibliometric Review of The International Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance Studies (IJISEF)

Abstract

In the contemporary global economy, Islamic finance and economics are gaining increasing prominence, with the International Journal of Islamic Economics and Finance Studies (IJISEF) emerging as a significant journal in this field. Established in 2015 by the Centre of Political Economic and Social Research (PESA) in collaboration with the Research Centre for Islamic Economics and Finance (RECISEF), IJISEF has evolved into a key forum for research discussions on Islamic finance and economics. assessing the impact and influence of journals like IJISEF is crucial, given the dynamic nature of academia. This paper employs bibliometric analysis to explore the journal's contributions and influence. The study spans a nine-year period, from the journal's inception in 2015 to September 29, 2023, analyzing 173 publications using statistical tools such as VOSviewer, Microsoft Excel, and Python. This comprehensive analysis traces IJISEF's evolution and its growing impact in the field of Islamic economics and finance globally. The bibliometric study reveals a significant increase in citations for the journal, despite fluctuations in the number of issues and publications. Turkey, the journal's country of origin, remains prominent, though other nations also contribute significantly. Nations such as Indonesia, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Tunisia, Bangladesh, and Libya, among others, actively contribute to this expanding field. The study recommends increasing the number of issues published and translating content into languages such as Turkish. Additionally, future research should focus on topics including the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), cryptocurrencies, fintech, blockchain, and behavioral finance.
