Bibliometric Analysis Of Publications Related To Surah Al-Nahl: Towards Research In I’Jaz Studies

Surah Al-Nahl is the 16th chapter in the Qur'an and among the contents of this surah is the reference to bees and honey and its nutrition. From the medicine perspective, bees are a main agent and play a big role in honey production. Trend of research publications on bee and honey were studied before. Therefore, this paper will analyze the trend research publications on I’jaz Studies in Surah Al-Nahl from previous studies in view of bibliometrics analysis. The study focused on content analysis, especially in the field of primary research on the topic and then presents the data into three types:
a) publication types of previous studies
b) fields of previous studies and
c) language medium of previous studies.
This study uses bibliometrics analysis to examine the results of past research publications on bee and honey in Surah Al-Nahl. Bibliometric is the use of statistical methods to analyze books, articles, and other publications. Many research fields use bibliometric methods to explore the impact of their field, the impact of a set of researchers, the impact of a particular paper, or to identify particularly impactful papers within a specific field of research. Bibliometrics also has a wide range of other applications, such as in descriptive linguistics, the development of thesauri, and evaluation of reader usage. However, the number of bibliometric analysis on Surah Al Nahl in the field of I’jaz studies is still limited. Hopefully the efforts of researchers from Kolej GENIUS Insan are very significant in the development of I’jaz studies on Quranic texts studies, especially in analysis of previous studies.
