Dalam dunia penelitian, meta-analisis sering dianggap sebagai "mahkota" dari bukti ilmiah. Meta-analisis adalah alat yang kuat untuk mengintegrasikan temuan dari berbagai studi dan menyajikannya dalam kerangka yang koheren. Ini memungkinkan peneliti untuk melampaui batasan studi individual dan memperoleh pemahaman yang lebih komprehensif tentang topik yang dipelajari. Keunikan meta-analisis terletak pada kemampuannya untuk menghasilkan perkiraan yang lebih akurat dan stabil dari efek intervensi atau hubungan antara variabel, dibandingkan dengan studi tunggal atau kecil.

Apa Itu Kekuatan Bukti? Kekuatan bukti dalam konteks meta-analisis meliputi berbagai aspek, mulai dari kualitas metodologi studi individual hingga konsistensi hasil antar studi. Ini juga mencakup keandalan dan ketepatan temuan yang dihasilkan. Kualitas metodologi mengacu pada seberapa baik studi-studi itu dirancang dan dilaksanakan, sedangkan konsistensi hasil mengacu pada sejauh mana temuan dari berbagai studi bersifat seragam atau saling bertentangan. Kekuatan bukti ini menjadi landasan bagi interpretasi hasil meta-analisis dan keputusan yang dibuat berdasarkan temuan tersebut.

Mengapa Variasi Ini Menjadi Masalah? Variasi dalam kekuatan bukti dapat menimbulkan sejumlah masalah dalam interpretasi hasil meta-analisis. Ketidaksesuaian metodologi antar studi, terutama jika studi-studi dengan kualitas metodologi yang rendah dimasukkan dalam analisis, dapat menghasilkan temuan yang bias atau tidak dapat diandalkan. Selain itu, ketidak konsistenan hasil antar studi dapat membingungkan dan menyulitkan dalam menyimpulkan efek sebenarnya dari intervensi atau hubungan antara variabel.

Mengenal Jebakan Variasi Kekuatan Bukti:
1. Heterogenitas: Heterogenitas merujuk pada variasi dalam desain studi, populasi sampel, intervensi, dan hasil yang diukur di antara studi-studi yang diikutsertakan dalam meta-analisis. Ini dapat mengakibatkan ketidak konsistenan hasil antar studi dan membuat interpretasi yang sulit.
2. Bias Publikasi: Bias publikasi dapat terjadi ketika ada kecenderungan untuk menerbitkan studi-studi dengan hasil yang signifikan secara statistik, sementara studi-studi dengan hasil negatif atau tidak signifikan lebih jarang dipublikasikan. Hal ini dapat mengakibatkan overestimasi efek intervensi dalam meta-analisis.
3. Kualitas Metodologi: Kualitas metodologi yang bervariasi di antara studi-studi yang diinklusi dalam meta-analisis dapat mempengaruhi keandalan temuan secara keseluruhan. Studi dengan metodologi yang lemah mungkin memiliki risiko bias yang lebih tinggi dan oleh karena itu hasilnya mungkin kurang dapat diandalkan.

Strategi Menghadapi Jebakan:
- Menilai Kualitas Studi: Penting untuk melakukan penilaian menyeluruh terhadap kualitas metodologi studi-studi yang akan dimasukkan dalam meta-analisis. Ini dapat melibatkan penggunaan skala penilaian kualitas studi atau pemeriksaan peer-review.
- Menganalisis Heterogenitas: Teknik statistik yang tepat, seperti analisis heterogenitas atau meta-regresi, dapat digunakan untuk mengeksplorasi dan mengukur tingkat heterogenitas di antara studi-studi yang diikutsertakan.
- Sensitivitas Analisis: Melakukan analisis sensitivitas untuk menguji kestabilan hasil meta-analisis dengan mempertimbangkan pengecualian atau penambahan studi-studi tertentu. Ini membantu menilai seberapa sensitif temuan meta-analisis terhadap perubahan dalam komposisi studi.

INTRODUCTION
The First International Conference on Islamic Economics held in Makkah al-Mukarramah in 1976, was the watershed for the new discipline of ‘Islamic Economics’. Almost five decades later, the Kulliyyah of Economics and Management Sciences (KENMS) of the International Islamic University Malaysia (IIUM) is once again honoured to manage and host the 15th International Conference on Islamic Economics and Finance for the third time, tentatively to be held from the Tuesday 12 to Thursday 14 December 2023 in Kuala Lumpur. The theme of the conference is Driving the Agenda for a Sustainable Humane Economy.

Recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, financial and economic crises coupled with challenges from climate change, provide the OIC countries an opportunity to embrace Islamic economics and finance as indigenous approaches to guide their economic policy responses. For this to happen, theoretical foundations of both Islamic economics and finance, as well as their links to policymaking and implementation need greater attention and integration. The world is complex and everything is connected to everything. Hence, proper planning is a part of developing a responsive and responsible Islamic Economics and Finance. The 15th ICIEF 2023 provides the platform for bringing together academics, researchers and policymakers from the Muslim world to discuss the challenges faced and how greater effort can be made towards achieving our preferred future.

OBJECTIVES
The teaching, research and practice of Islamic economics and finance have made tremendous strides globally over the last 50 years. The establishment of higher education institutions like the IIUM and development finance institutions like the Islamic Development Bank, respectively, have provided important avenues for practical implementation of education programs as well as increasing financing for economic and financial cooperation among OIC-member countries. It is important to plan for a sustainable humane future- one that recognises efficiency goes hand-in-hand with equity. However, in order to plan effectively, one must be aware of where we are, how we arrived here, what the challenges are, have a clear vision of where we want to go as well as a plan for the future. Development of research and practice of Islamic economics and finance requires commitment by all the stakeholders as well as the establishment of viable links between theory and policymaking by academics and policymakers.
 

Taking into account the state of the art and the direction of the fields of Islamic economics and finance, the 15th ICIEF focuses on the way forward toward developing the discipline of Islamic economics and finance and increasing their application especially in the economies of the OIC countries. Hence, the conference is devoted to not only theory development and application of the theory but also policy-related issues concerning, but not necessarily limited to, the following areas: Islamic Economics, Islamic Finance, Policy-Issues and Related areas in Sustainability, Shariah, Accounting, Management and Marketing.

Islamic Economics – Islamic economic system and Islamic economy; theoretical and policy studies to achieve sustainable humane development; historical and comparative economic studies; comparative economic models; Islamic economic thought; review articles useful as teaching materials at the university level.

Islamic Finance – emerging issues relating to sustainable Islamic finance; alternative financial and monetary systems from the Islamic perspective; Innovation, AI and FinTech; stability of Islamic financial system; risk-sharing in Islamic finance; Islamic finance infrastructure institutions.

Policy Issues and Prescriptions for the OIC countries – poverty and inequality; entrepreneurship development; micro and small enterprise development; legal, tax and regulatory frameworks from the Islamic economics perspective; Islamic monetary and fiscal policies including zakah and awqaf-based social safety-nets; economic indebtedness; the role of the IsDB in sustainable economic development; trade and cooperation among the OIC countries.

Other Related Areas – Sustainability, Maqasid al-Shariah and its relations to IEF; issues relating to Islamic accounting and its application to IEF; Islamic approaches to management and marketing; Islamic economics and finance education and research.
 

The following list is meant to give a more detailed picture of areas/topics:

i. Theoretical, Historical, Shariah, Maqasid al-Shariah and Institutional Aspects of Islamic Economics and Finance

ii. Poverty, Inequality, Socio-Economic Justice and Human Development in the Humane Economy: Theory and policy dimensions; Trade and Economic Cooperations
