Citation trends in islamic economics, finance, and business journals indexed by doaj and sinta

This research analyzes the relationship between the number of journal volumes, Article Processing Charge (APC), journal names, and the number of citations on the Sinta, Dimensions, and Scopus indexes. This research method uses a descriptive approach, starting with collecting journals in economics, finance, and Islamic business, which DOAJ indexes on the Sinta portal. Then, each journal was mapped based on the number of volumes, APC, and journal name against the number of citations on the Sinta, Dimensions, and Scopus indexes. The analysis results show that journals with more than 10 volumes tend to have a higher average citation in Sinta and Dimensions compared to journals with 6-10 volumes or less than 5 volumes. However, the influence of the number of volumes on citations in Scopus is inconsistent, with several journals having less than 5 volumes but having the highest citations. In addition, Article Processing Charge (APC) also influence the number of citations, but not all journals with high APCs show a high number of citations. Free journals also have the potential to get high citations. Using English in journal names positively impacts the number of citations because it increases international accessibility, reputation, and global influence. Researchers and publishers can consider these findings in designing strategies to increase the visibility and impact of their journals.
