Assessing Scientific Output and Collaborative Networks in Halal Supply Chain Management Research: An R-Biblioshiny Analysis

Today, the demand for halal products from the Muslim population, which is approaching 2 billion, underscores the importance of halal supply chain management in the global business environment. In this context, identifying the requirements, principles, and gaps in the implementation of halal supply chain management—and examining not only the active actors in the chain but also the theoretical foundations from an academic perspective—is crucial for improving process efficiency. This study aims to conduct a bibliometric analysis of research published in internationally indexed journals on halal supply chain management. The bibliometric analysis of 630 publications retrieved from the Web of Science database between 1997 and 2025 covers various indicators, including the distribution of papers by year, keyword analysis, author profiles, co-authorship collaborations, citation analysis, thematic map, publication counts by country, and country-based clustering analysis. The findings reveal that the Journal of Islamic Marketing has the highest number of publications in the field; the most cited researcher is Marco Tieman; and the top three researchers with the most publications are Mohamed Syazman Ab Talib, Abid Haleem, and Mohd Imran Khan. Additionally, Malaysia—the first country to implement halal logos and certification practices—has been identified as the most productive country in this field. Furthermore, Malaysia and Indonesia are recognized as the countries with the highest levels of international collaboration. However, the analysis of the distribution of scientific productivity indicates that literature in this field has not yet reached a sufficient level of maturity, highlighting the need for further research.
