Abstract

The purpose of this study is to assess the quality of journals related to the discipline of Islamic Economics—including Islamic Business, Islamic Accounting, Islamic Management, and Islamic Banking and Finance (IEBAMBF) in the scholarly world. This study is important in understanding the development of the discipline over the past decades, and the significant contributions of the discipline to the world. Using nine assessment criteria for journal quality, this study integrates both objective and subjective measurement tools. The findings suggest that multidimensional assessment approach is required to measure a journal’s quality. Also, when evaluating outlets for publication in the discipline, researchers are constraint by quantity and quality of specialized journals available on the areas. To overcome this limitation, editorial boards of journals in the areas of IEBAMBF need to improve the visibility of their journals by meeting the global assessment standard. Alternatively, the community of Muslim scholars should work within their assessment standard and push it to be another global standard for quality assessment.
