A Bibliometric Analysis of Halal Cosmetics and Halal Pharmaceuticals

Abstract

This review presents a bibliometric analysis to shed light on the development of halal cosmetics and pharmaceutical domains, addressing their increasing popularity. The study assessed 248 entries retrieved from the Scopus database, discussing the types of papers available, publication years, contributors, and geographical distribution of the published documents in these fields. The analysis revealed frequently used phrases such as halal, halal cosmetics, gelatine, religiosity, attitude, and purchase intention. However, the study acknowledges limitations related to Scopus potentially overlooking certain articles, leading to possible omissions. Nevertheless, this research contributes to the relatively scarce literature on network analysis and bibliometric approaches in halal cosmetics and pharmaceuticals.
