Abstract

The Islamic turāth books encompass a broad and rich range of knowledge in various disciplines, contributing significantly to the global intellectual heritage. However, there is a need to understand global trends, contributions, and collaborative networks in Islamic literary research. The study aims to identify global research trends on Islamic turāth books based on the year of publication. The study also seeks to determine the most productive contributors and the number of their publications. The next step is to determine the leading affiliate organisations that publish in this field, and the last is to analyse the co-authorship networks among countries involved in Islamic turāth research. The research used bibliometric methods to analyse data from the Scopus database, covering articles from 2000 to 2023. Data includes the author's name, journal title, citation, keyword, and year of publication. The VOSviewer software is used to create visual maps and perform analysis using VOS clustering and mapping techniques. This study focuses on high-impact journals, as stated by the Clarivate Analytics Effect Factor Journal Citation Reports (JCR). The data set covers 2000–2023, obtained using specific search terms related to the Islamic turāth books in the Scopus database. The study reveals a significant increase in publications from 2011 to 2020, with the highest increase in 2023, reflecting growing interest and international cooperation in Islamic studies. Hachim, S.K., and Kadhim, M.M., were the top contributors with 11 publications, respectively, followed by Rheima, A.M., with eight publications. The highest publishing organisation is al-Turāth University, with 27 publications, followed by al-Mustaqbal University and Islamic University Najaf, each with 21 publications. The United States and Iraq show a broad cooperation network for the co-authorship networks. The United States has 11 links and 19 links with 117 documents, while Iraq has 13 links, 36 links, and 28 documents. Other important contributors include Germany, Malaysia, the United Kingdom, and Saudi Arabia.
