The focus of this research is to provide an overview of Malaysian Islamic Finance talents' research topics and publications in five Malaysian public universities, with a focus on six research domains such as Shariah-based, Islamic Finance, Islamic Economics, Islamic Accounting, Islamic Management, and Halal Management; and to identify university strengths in the Islamic Finance domain through scholasticism. This study also determines the current H index of Islamic Finance Talents in these universities. The main finding is IIUM publications are more focused on Shariah and law, whereas UUM focuses on Islamic Finance and Banking programmes and contributes to the Islamic Management domain. While USIM is well-known for its Islamic Accounting research based on talent publications, it also contributes to the field of Islamic Accounting. INCEIF is well-known for its Islamic Finance publications based on the works of talents. As a result, INCEIF has made a contribution to the field of Islamic finance. Finally, UKM focuses on three major domains: Islamic Economic, Islamic Finance, and Islamic Management. The author also discovered that the H Index for talents at these universities is relatively low when compared to INCEIF. This study also discovered a clear gap in the areas of research and publication between these universities, as well as some untapped areas such as Halal. It was determined that an effort must be made by the various stakeholders to bridge this gap.
