Abstract

Background: Bibliometrics is increasingly used to assess the quantity and quality of scientific research output in many research fields throughout the world. This study aims to update Iraqi pediatricians’ research productivity in the field of nephrology using bibliometric methods, and analysis of the contribution of Iraqi pediatricians to the field of pediatric nephrology literature. Methods: Papers published by Iraqi pediatricians’ in the field of pediatric nephrology were retrieved from “Web of Science” and “PubMed”. The number and types of papers, and author’s h-index (Hirsch index) were analyzed. Papers published by researchers other than pediatricians such urologic surgeons, and basic sciences researchers were not included in this study. Results: A total of 53 papers were found published in a total of 11 journals including Pediatric Nephrology, Therapy (Clinical practice), Journal of Tropical Pediatrics, Journal of Nephrology and Renal Transplantation, Urology, Clin Exp Nephrol, American Journal of Medical Genetics A, The Open Urology & Nephrology Journal, Acta Paediatrica, Archives of Disease in Childhood, and Saudi Journal of Kidney Disease and Transplantation. The vast majority of papers, 49 (92.4 %) were published by Aamir Jalal Al-Mosawi. Only four our papers [Etiological and clinical patterns of childhood urolithiasis in Iraq (2005), .Profile of renal diseases in Iraqi children: A single-center report. (2015), Hypertension in hemodialyzed children (2016), The predictive factors for relapses in children with steroid-sensitive nephrotic syndrome (2016)] were published by authors other than Aamir Jalal Al-Mosawi, and was carefully examined and found to include unreliable, non-authentic and largely misleading information. The work of Aamir Jalal Al-Mosawi represented the authentic reliable source about childhood renal disorders in Iraq. The work of Aamir Jalal Al-Mosawi provided a comprehensive knowledge about childhood renal disorders in Iraqi children. The papers of Aamir Jalal Al-Mosawi included 12 research papers, 2 case report, one case series, three review articles, and at least 31 conferences’ abstracts. Conclusion: Aamir Jalal Al-Mosawi is perfectly regarded as the undisputable pioneer of pediatric nephrology in Iraq. In 2008, the web site “Medical talks” listed Aamir Jalal Al-Mosawi with the famous physicians in history for describing a new model for the treatment of chronic renal failure.

伊拉克儿科医生在儿科肾病领域的科学出版物生产力和研究活动：确定先驱的文献计量分析

背景：在世界各地的许多研究领域，文献计量学越来越多地用于评估科学研究成果的数量和质量。本研究旨在使用文献计量学方法更新伊拉克儿科医生在肾脏学领域的研究成果，并分析伊拉克儿科医生对儿科肾脏学文献领域的贡献。方法：检索伊拉克儿科医生在儿科肾病学领域发表的论文，检索自“科学网”和“PubMed”。分析了论文的数量和类型，以及作者的h指数（赫希指数）。除儿科医生（如泌尿外科医生）和基础科学研究人员外，其他研究人员发表的论文不包括在本研究中。结果：共有53篇论文发表在11种期刊上，包括《儿科肾病学》、《治疗（临床实践）》、《热带儿科杂志》、《肾病与肾移植杂志》、，和《沙特肾脏疾病与移植杂志》。绝大多数论文，49篇（92.4%）由Aamir Jalal Al Mosawi发表。只有我们的四篇论文[伊拉克儿童尿石症的病因和临床模式（2005），伊拉克儿童肾脏疾病概况：单中心报告。（2015），血液透析儿童高血压（2016），类固醇敏感肾病综合征儿童复发的预测因素（2016）]由Aamir Jalal Al Mosawi以外的作者发表，并经过仔细审查，发现其中包括不可靠、不真实且在很大程度上具有误导性的信息。Aamir Jalal Al Mosawi的工作代表了伊拉克儿童肾脏疾病的可靠来源。Aamir Jalal Al Mosawi的论文包括12篇研究论文、2篇病例报告、1个病例系列、3篇综述文章和至少31篇会议摘要。结论：Aamir Jalal Al Mosawi被公认为伊拉克儿科肾病学无可争议的先驱。2008年，网站“医学谈话”列出了阿米尔·贾拉勒·莫萨维与历史上著名的医生描述的治疗慢性肾衰竭的新模式。
