Abstract

A ‘Classification Scheme’ is a way of organizing a large amount of information or material in a way that helps users finding the required information quickly. Classification schemes are used widely in all fields. In academics, one type of classification schemes is subject-based classifications. In the field of economics, JEL Classification Scheme (codes) is the standard for indexing the literature in economics and its allied disciplines. However for reasons discussed in this paper, this Scheme is not suitable for classifying literature in the nascent discipline of Islamic economics and finance. The paper presents a new classification scheme called in brief “KAUJIE Classification Scheme”. The paper then uses case-experiments to show how the new scheme can index the literature in this discipline in a better way as compared to JEL Classification Scheme and the benefits that the writers and researchers in this arena will attain from the use of the new Scheme. يمثل التصنيف وسيلة فعالة لتنظيم كمية كبيرة من المعلومات أو المواد بطريقة تساعد المستخدمين على العثور على المعلومات المطلوبة بسرعة. وهو طريقة مستخدمة على نطاق واسع في جميع المجالات. ففي المجال الأكاديمي، يعتبر التبويب الموضوعي أحد أنواع التصنيفات. في حقل الاقتصاد، يمثل تصنيف مجلة الأدبيات الاقتصادية الأمريكية (JEL) هو المعيار المستخدم لفهرسة الموضوعات الاقتصادية والتخصصات القريبة منها. تناقش هذه الورقة عدم مناسبة هذا التصنيف لتبويب موضوعات الاقتصاد والتمويل الإسلامي الناشئ. تقدم الورقة تبويبًا جديدًا لأدبيات هذا الحقل الوليد يعرف اختصارًا بـ "تصنيف KAUJIE"؛ (أي تصنيف مجلة جامعة الملك عبدالعزيز للاقتصاد الإسلامي). تقدم الورقة بعد ذلك أمثلة عملية لإبراز كيفية استخدام هذا التصنيف، وإظهار مدى ملائمته ومناسبته بشكل أكبر من تصنيف (JEL) مع ذكر بعض الفوائد التي تعود على الكتاب والباحثين عند استخدامهم لهذا التبويب الجديد.
