Abstract
Citation analysis for Islamic subjects is distinctively unique and must follow the epistemology of Islamic knowledge. The interest of defining a subject is a passionate concern in the field of library and information science (LIS). Contextual and domain visualization helps in viewing halal as a subject through tracing its origin in Islamic epistemology lineage. Halal as a subject is conceptually defined based on systematic review of works published by prominent Islamic scholars. This paper discussed the scope and definition of halal as a subject and potential keywords drawn from the systematic review. Potential keywords are tested through purposive sampling in ProQuest database, and major topics are identified. Islamic epistemology-based Approach Citation Analysis requires references pointed to highest sources in Islam, the Quran. In this research, an online al-Quran index is used to retrieve terms related to halal. Quranic verses are referred to an online index based on high potential keywords under the themes of halal food themes. The concept of halalan toyyiban is retrieved through myriads of keywords in online databases. These terms are then searched in ProQuest database, and search results are qualitatively analysed. The aim of the research is to conduct a contextual analysis of Islamic subject domain particularly the one appearing in online databases. Halal and its related subdivisions along with their core authors, journals and affiliations are identified in the analysis.
