Year 2021, Volume: 3 Issue: 1, 27 - 42, 17.08.2021

Abstract

Islamic finance, whose modern applications date back to the 60s, has been brought to the agenda with the discussions of being an alternative to the capitalist system with the 2008 global financial crisis. The interest of policy makers with practitioners and the academic community on the subject has increased day by day. The approaches, methods and tools of Islamic finance in dealing with crises and creating a stable economic structure are examined. With this study, it is aimed to conduct a bibliometric analysis of the publications that were published between 2008-2020, which is the post-crisis period and can be accessed through Web of Science, which is considered a qualified database. As a result of the analysis made by the Vosviewer program, the publications produced by individuals or institutions in a specific period and a specific region and the relationships between these publications are revealed numerically and visually. According to results; Malaysia is the country with the highest number of publication and citation. America follows it in the second place. International Islamic University Malaysia is at the forefront with 75 article on Islamic finance, 67 articles on Islamic banking and 15 articles on Islamic economics. Other Malay universities also take the lead. Istanbul Sabahattin Zaim University is also in the top ten. the journal with the most publications in the literature is the International Journal Of Islamic and Middle Eastern Finance and Management. Borsa Istanbul Review and Turkısh Journal Of Islamic Economics are in the top ten with the average number of the document. Thorsten Beck, Aslı Demirgüç-Kunt and Ouarda Merrouche are the authors who received over 400 citations.
