Mapping Multi Akad Research in Sharia Banks: VOSviewer Bibliometric Study and Literature Review

Abstract

This study aims to determine the mapping of research around multi-contract in shari'ah banks with a mix-method approach, namely VOSviewer bibliometric studies and literature reviews. "Data analysis techniques include: (1) mapping the number of journal publications distributed around Multi Akad using Microsoft Excel and Mendeley Desktop based on the year of publication; (2) mapping the results of bibliometric network visualization and journal publication trends around Multi Akad at shari'ah banks using VOSviewer (Visualization of Similarities) algorithm software based on the number of clusters and their items; and (3) mapping research topics around Multi Akad using literature studies. The results showed that: (1) based on mapping the number of journal publications, there were 500 journal publications about moral hazard for the period 2019-2023; (2) based on the mapping of VOSviewer bibliometric studies, the results of network visualization around the optimal portfolio are divided into 9 clusters and 146 topic items; (3) Based on the mapping of the literature review study, there are 3 topics about shari'ah banks that often appear first, second shari'ah contracts, and third multi-contracts. The implication and contribution of this research is to map research topics around multi-contract in shari'ah banks that are often or rarely researched by researchers, so that they can be a reference for researchers afterwards.
