A Bibliometric Analysis of Islamization of Knowledge Literature in Islamic Thought

Abstract

Bibliometric analysis is a well-liked and exacting technique for investigating and analysing vast amounts of scientific data. It allows researchers to explore a field’s development history while illuminating its frontiers. However, its integration within Islamic Thought is still relatively new and frequently insufficient. The paper summarises the article journals’ write-up between 2019 and 2023 on Islamization of knowledge, identifies current trends, and makes recommendations for potential areas to focus on for future research. A bibliometric analysis using information gleaned from the Dimensions database was carried out on articles titled “Islamization of knowledge” in their titles, abstracts, and keywords. Subsequently, VOS viewer software obtained publishing trends, citation index per year, highly cited papers and keyword co-occurrence network.
