Auteurs : Bouhadra Abdelkarim .

Résumé

This study aims to highlight the position of social finance within scientific research and assess its importance among researchers, research institutions, and countries. It provides a quantitative knowledge map of the scientific output indexed in the Scopus database through a bibliometric analysis of 542 publications on social finance published between 2008 and 2025. Bibliographic data were analyzed using VOSviewer to identify publication patterns and scientific collaboration networks among authors and institutions. The findings indicate a rapid growth in social finance research, particularly following the 2008 financial crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic. The field is predominantly oriented toward Islamic social finance, with major contributions from researchers and institutions located in Islamic countries. Moreover, the most productive journals in this area are largely based in Islamic countries, reflecting the strong compatibility between social finance and the objectives of Islamic Shariah in the management and distribution of wealth.
