Abstract

This bibliometric analysis examines the publication trends in dermatology within the Arab world from 2000 to 2023. The study highlights the region's scientific contributions and evaluates the global visibility and impact of dermatological research. The Web of Science (WoS) database was employed to conduct a retrospective bibliometric analysis. The bibliometric indicators, like the global overview of dermatology research, categorization of research by country, citation metrics, annual growth rates, leading publishing journals, prominent countries, authorship patterns, authors, and analysis of the top key words, were analyzed. VOSviewer software was employed. The authors from Arab countries produced 2,390 dermatology records from 2000 to 2023, representing 2.22% of global dermatology research. Saudi Arabia (35%) and Egypt (26.73%) were the primary contributors. The Cureus journal was the preferred publication, while Hamida Turki was recognized as the most prolific author. The study illustrates consistent growth in dermatology research and collaboration, with prospects for future advancement.

2000年至2023年阿拉伯世界皮肤病学研究出版物趋势：文献计量学分析。

本文献计量学分析检查了2000年至2023年阿拉伯世界皮肤病学的出版趋势。该研究强调了该地区的科学贡献，并评估了皮肤病学研究的全球知名度和影响。采用Web of Science （WoS）数据库进行回顾性文献计量分析。对全球皮肤病学研究概况、国家研究分类、引用指标、年增长率、主要出版期刊、主要国家、作者模式、作者和热门关键词分析等文献计量指标进行了分析。采用VOSviewer软件。从2000年到2023年，来自阿拉伯国家的作者产生了2390份皮肤病学记录，占全球皮肤病学研究的2.22%。沙特阿拉伯（35%）和埃及（26.73%）是主要贡献者。Cureus期刊是首选出版物，而Hamida Turki被认为是最多产的作者。该研究表明，皮肤科研究和合作的持续增长，具有未来发展的前景。
