Bibliometric Analysis of the Term ‘Zakat’

Abstract

This study aims to determine the development of research on zakat from 2009 to 2021. The articles were obtained using the Publish or Perish (PoP) software on the Scopus database. By scanning using Scimagojr (Q1, Q2, and Q3), this study analyzed 79 articles from 41 reputable journals. In addition, Mendeley software is used to complete article metadata. This study uses a literature review method with bibliometric analysis using VOSviewer software. The results of the analysis show that the number of articles on zakat published in reputable journals has increased, especially in the last four years. Then, the keywords that often appear in research on zakat are 'zakat', 'zakat institution', 'Islam', and 'poverty'. Meanwhile, research on zakat with the keyword 'compliance', 'financial inclusion', 'performance', and 'social capital' is still little studied so that it has the opportunity to be researched in the future.
