Current Discussions in Islamic Microfinance Research and Future Agendas: A Bibliometric Study Based on Scopus Database
Abstract
The main purpose of this study is to encapsulate the major themes and their inter-linkage within Islamic microfinance research and to highlight the important gaps by recommending future research areas of worth investigation. The Scopus database is used for this bibliometric analysis. Using a robust selection criterion, 89 research articles were finalized to conduct the analysis. For the visualization and presentation of results, various software were used, such as R, RStudio, VOSviewer, and Microsoft excel. Results of content analysis and literature mapping show that most of the available studies on Islamic microfinance are theoretical and cover the topics of Islamic microfinance models, importance as a tool for poverty alleviation, and integration of Islamic commercial and social finance. There is an ample research gap in this area, and there are various avenues that could be explored in future research. In comparison with other studies on the same area using the same methodology, this study presents the various research agendas, areas and ideas for future research, which makes this study a good contribution to the literature.

İSLAMİ MİKROFİNANS ARAŞTIRMALARINDA MEVCUT TARTIŞMALAR VE GELECEK GÜNDEMLER: SCOPUS VERİTABANINA DAYALI BİR BİBLİYOMETRİK ÇALIŞMA
Abstract
Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, İslami mikrofinans araştırmalarında ana temaları ve bunlar arasındaki ilişkileri özetlemek ve değerli araştırma alanlarına yönelik gelecekteki araştırmalar için önemli boşlukları vurgulamaktır. Bu bibliyometrik analiz için Scopus veritabanı kullanılmıştır. Sağlam bir seçim kriteri kullanılarak, analiz için 89 araştırma makalesi belirlenmiştir. Sonuçların görselleştirilmesi ve sunumu için R, RStudio, VOSviewer ve Microsoft Excel gibi çeşitli yazılımlar kullanılmıştır. İçerik analizi ve literatür haritalama sonuçları, İslami mikrofinans üzerine mevcut çalışmaların çoğunlukla teorik olduğunu ve İslami mikrofinans modelleri, yoksulluk azaltma aracı olarak önemi ve İslami ticari ve sosyal finansın entegrasyonu konularını ele aldığını göstermektedir. Bu alanda geniş bir araştırma boşluğu bulunmakta olup, gelecekte araştırılması gereken çeşitli alanlar vardır. Aynı metodolojiyi kullanan diğer çalışmalarla karşılaştırıldığında, bu çalışma gelecekteki araştırmalar için çeşitli araştırma gündemlerini, alanlarını ve fikirlerini sunarak literatüre önemli bir katkı sağlamaktadır.
