Abstract

The paper attempts to explain the reasons for the perceived decline in the quality of research in Islamic economics, especially those published in the Arabic language. The paper focuses, in particular, on the co-authorship of research papers as an important solution to improve the quality of research in Islamic economics, considering it as an interdisciplinary field which requires specialized knowledge in more than one field. For comparison, the paper reviews the global trend in co-authorship, especially in the field of economics, and its impact on the quality of research. The paper then, touches on the major issues that arise with co-authorship in research and suggests a set of criteria to recognize the contribution of authors in joint research, with the aim to encourage more researchers to engage in co-authorship research in Islamic economics. In conclusion, the paper proposes several recommendations to improve the quality of research in Islamic economics. تحاول الورقة تفسير أسباب تراجع جودة البحوث في الاقتصاد الإسلامي؛ خاصة ما ينشر منها باللغة العربية. وتركز الورقة بشكل خاص على التأليف المشترك للبحوث كمدخل للارتقاء بجودة البحوث في الاقتصاد الإسلامي باعتباره حقلاً بينيًا يتطلب معرفة متخصصة في أكثر من حقل. ولغرض المقارنة استعرضت الورقة الاتجاه العالمي في التأليف المشترك خاصة في حقل علم الاقتصاد وتأثيره المتوقع على جودة البحوث. ثم تطرقت لعدد من المسائل الرئيسة التي تثور عند الاشتراك في البحوث، وأوصت بتبني معايير محددة للاعتراف بمساهمة المؤلفين في البحوث المشتركة بهدف تشجيع المزيد من الباحثين على خوض غمار المشاركة في الأبحاث في حقل الاقتصاد الإسلامي. وتقدم الورقة في الختام بعض المقترحات والتوصيات التي يؤمل أن تسهم في الارتقاء بجدوة البحوث في الاقتصاد الإسلامي.
