Shariah-Compliant Digital Gold Saving

<jats:p>This bibliometric analysis of Shariah-compliant digital gold saving aims to identify the most highly cited sources and their corresponding Google Scholar (GS) rankings, based on data indexed in Scopus. This study analyses previous research as a basis for future investigations. The methodological strategy adopted in this study is primarily quantitative, as it is well suited for the analysis of numerical data. The Harzing Publish or Perish (PoP) software is utilised to calculate various bibliometric indicators, such as the h-index and g-index, which serve as measures of research impact. However, a limitation of this bibliometric analysis is its reliance on citation metrics—specifically, the highest number of citations, GS rankings and number of publications counts—within the restricted timeframe of 2020 to 2024. The analysis of the Scopus index is similarly confined to a five-year period. Key tools employed for the analysis include Harzing PoP and VOSviewer, both of which facilitate the generation of bibliometric maps and the presentation of numerical data. The results are presented in terms of the year with the highest number of publications, the most prolific author, the leading country and the highest average citation rate over a five-year period. The main findings indicate that the study by Aloui et al. (2021) published in 2021, received 49 citations in journal publications. The United Kingdom (UK) emerged as the most dominant country in terms of article publications, with 221 citations, while Automation in Construction was identified as the most frequently cited journal, with 163 citations. These findings contribute to promoting a more transparent and trustworthy environment for Shariah-compliant digital gold investments. Based on the results, the researcher recommends that future studies conduct bibliometric analysis focused on the topic of Shariah-compliant digital gold saving.</jats:p>
