... Instrument validity was assessed using two methods: convergent validity through the average variance extracted (AVE) approach and discriminant validity via the Fornell-Larcker criterion. AVE values above 0.5 are considered acceptable for convergent validity, while for discriminant validity, the square root of AVE should exceed the correlations (Bajwa et al., 2023). ...

... Existing literature highlights various studies that have used bibliometric methods to evaluate the impact and research productivity of researchers and organizations across diverse fields of knowledge. Notable areas covered by these studies include science, technology and innovation, the Halal industry, Finance, Business, health sciences, Dentistry, COVID-19, the Environment and Library and Information Science (Al Hamad et al., 2022;Aldossary et al., 2023;Alonaizan et al., 2023;Bajwa et al., 2022;Farooq et al., 2021;Madadin et al., 2022;Mehmood et al., 2022aMehmood et al., , 2022bPutera and Rakhel, 2023;Putera et al., 2022;Sheikh et al., 2023;Siddique et al., 2021aSiddique et al., , 2021bTijjani et al., 2021). The bibliometric methods have also been applied to various studies that explore research trends and dynamics related to countries and regions (Ahmad et al., 2020;Ahmad et al., 2021;Siddique et al., 2023). ...

... Such high-quality research was sourced from the WoS, since it provides publications with detailed metadata, including the indexing information of the title, keywords, abstract, author, affiliation, and cited references. No other database was included in this research, since WoS alone is frequently recommended for bibliometric analysis [27,28]. In terms of scientometric analysis, this database is of good design and is well recognized. ...

... Particularly in the context of the Middle Eastern region, unequal status for women is regarded as one of the major challenges to women's entrepreneurship.

... Bibliometric research is valuable in assessing the impact of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) for several reasons. Firstly, it provides a quantitative analysis of research productivity, publication patterns, and trends related to IFRS, offering insights into the most important research streams and challenges addressed by academics when reporting under IFRS [17]. Additionally, bibliometric analysis can identify the most influential articles, authors, and journals in the field, guiding researchers to the most significant documents and mapping areas of publications [17]- [20]. ...
