Abstract
Purpose: Started humbly in 2010 as a modest publishing outlet catering to the growing interest in Islamic-based accounting and business research, the Journal of Islamic Accounting and Business Research (JIABR) is now a focal reference for literature with a unique niche of shari’ah and tawheedic essence. The purpose of this paper is to explore the path through which JIABR has evolved to achieve its status today. Design/methodology/approach: The commonly applied bibliometric analysis is conducted on all 377 published papers since the JIABR’s inception up to September 2021. Findings: The JIABR’s more than a decade of service in educating the ummah is visibly characterized by the increasing breadth of research scope within the realm of shari’ah- and tawheedic-based accounting and business. The commendable shift in the research quality frontier systematically positions the journal at par with other comparable publishing outlets. Research limitations/implications: This paper drew on data collected from a single journal, creating a stand-alone analysis. Practical implications: The paper accentuates JIABR’s critical attributes, which gradually developed to serve the Islamic-based accounting and business research fraternity. Such attributes are arguably relevant for researchers framing their future academic research trajectory. Originality/value: This paper represents an extensive analysis of all published papers in the JIABR, showcasing its excellent contributions to providing a strategic publishing platform for Islamic-based accounting and business-related research.
