Abstract

The goal of this research is to analyze the intellectual network structure, prominent publications and thematic trends within the field of Islamic law studies during the period of 2000 – 2025 through the bibliometric methodology. Data was extracted from the Scopus database and was processed using the VOSviewer software to identify co-authorship, citations and keywords. Findings show that a rather homogeneous network structure characterizes this community with some important individuals and institutions making up its core. As for citation analysis, it demonstrates that most of the highly cited works deal with secularism, political Islam, religious/secular dynamics and other topical questions related to the relationship between religion and state. Moreover, the thematic change in research is also evident in keyword analysis. It proves that in addition to traditional themes, which relate to classical Islamic jurisprudence, there appeared several important topics including human rights, gender justice, Islamic feminism, and others.

Abstract

In this article, the world research front in the area of gender studies in Islam is considered for the period from 2000 to 2025. Bibliometric and network analysis methods have been used for exploring author collaborations, citation patterns, and keyword relations. In result, it was found that this research network has a complex structure, including significant participation of countries like the US and the UK, as well as developing involvement of Muslim countries such as Malaysia, Turkey, and Indonesia. Citation analysis revealed the most influential literature and themes, including themes on veiling, identity, Islamophobia, and socio-political aspects of gender. Keyword analysis showed that the key concepts included "Islam" and "religion," with other concepts developing in time, like feminism, psychology, culture, and gender identity. Overlay visualization showed that the current state of the research area is dominated by interdisciplinary studies focused on critical analysis rather than initial demographic and statistical approaches. Density map confirmed the importance of the identified topics but also indicated emerging research fronts. In sum, the analysis showed the development of gender studies in Islam from an underdeveloped subject into a multidisciplinary field with significant expansion of concepts and methodologies and international collaboration.

Abstract

This paper analyzes the evolution of literature in the area of Islamic Education from 2000 to 2025 using bibliometric methods. Analyzing data from Scopus and applying the VOSviewer software program, publication trends, intellectual structure, and international cooperation in this sphere have been identified. The results show an impressive growth of publications and dominance of Southeast Asian countries (Indonesia and Malaysia). As for the collaboration pattern, the research found the presence of moderately well-connected networks limited by geographical proximity. Analysis of citations proves the interdisciplinary character of important papers, as they relate to both education and such fields as social science, psychology, and culture. Finally, keyword co-citation and keyword overlay analysis prove that a transition from purely religious concepts to more practical ones takes place: there is a growing interest in issues related to curricula, e-learning, and religious moderation.

Abstract

In order to understand the existing literature on Islamic economics, we conducted a bibliometric analysis of publications dedicated to the topic and published between 2000 and 2025 that were included in the Scopus database. With the help of VOSviewer, we performed an analysis of co-authorship, citation patterns, and keywords co-occurrences in order to reveal influential topics, important sources, and knowledge networks among researchers of Islamic economics. As a result of the analysis, we have determined that the research on Islamic economics has been based on a rather small set of central scholars, organizations, and even countries, which, however, have made a considerable contribution to building the knowledge base in the area. The results of our citation analysis suggest that the intellectual basis of the studied literature is based on a combination of ethical, normative, and socio-political discussions, which gradually shifted towards more applied and interdisciplinary studies, specifically in such spheres as Islamic finance and economic development. According to the results of keyword analysis, we can claim that the dominant theme of Islamic economics research papers is Islamic finance (Islamic banking), whereas the other emerging areas include sustainable development, information management, and financial innovation. The study contributes by providing a comprehensive mapping of Islamic economics research and offers insights into future directions, emphasizing the need for stronger global collaboration and broader thematic expansion to enhance the field’s relevance in addressing modern economic challenges.
