Abstract

Objective

To describe the patterns of authorship, collaboration, study type, specialty, and funding status of articles published in Saudi dental journals.

Methods

All articles published in Saudi dental journals in English from their inception to 31st December 2023 were identified. The following data were extracted using pre-pilot forms: publication date, number of articles, study type, authorship patterns, nature of collaboration, article specialty, and funding status. Descriptive statistics included the calculation of frequencies and percentages.

Results

Five Saudi dental journals were identified, with a total of 2574 published articles. The journal with the highest number of studies published was the Saudi Dental Journal (33 %), followed by the Saudi Journal of Oral and Dental Research (25 %), Saudi Endodontic Journal (17 %), Journal of Orthodontic Science (14 %), and Saudi Journal of Oral Sciences (11 %). The first authors of most studies were academics (89 %) and from Asian countries (84.3 %). The average number of authors per publication was four (standard deviation = 2). Approximately 13.13 % of the articles were solo-authored. International collaboration was observed in 14.76 % of the identified studies. One-quarter (24.3 %) of the studies were cross-sectional, and just under half of the publications were in the fields of endodontics and orthodontics. Furthermore, 8 % of the studies were funded.

Conclusion

The research output of Saudi dental journals was produced mainly by academics and involved national-level collaborations with a limited number of funded studies. Therefore, there is a need to encourage the publication of high-quality research and international research partnerships.

沙特牙科期刊从创刊到 2023 年的文献计量分析
目的描述在沙特牙科期刊上发表的文章的作者身份、合作、研究类型、专业和资金状况。方法确定沙特牙科期刊自创刊至 2023 年 12 月 31 日发表的所有英文文章。使用预试验表格提取了以下数据:发表日期、文章数量、研究类型、作者模式、合作性质、文章专业和资金状况。描述性统计包括频率和百分比的计算。结果确定了五种沙特牙科期刊,共发表了 2574 篇文章。发表研究数量最多的期刊是《沙特牙科杂志》(33%),其次是《沙特口腔和牙科研究杂志》(25%)、《沙特牙髓病学杂志》(17%)、《正畸科学杂志》(14%)和《沙特口腔科学杂志》(11%)。大多数研究的第一作者是学者(89%),来自亚洲国家(84.3%)。每篇论文的平均作者人数为 4 人(标准偏差 = 2)。约 13.13% 的文章为独著。在已确认的研究中,有 14.76% 进行了国际合作。四分之一(24.3%)的研究为横断面研究,略低于一半的出版物涉及牙髓病学和正畸学领域。此外,8% 的研究获得了资助。结论沙特牙科期刊的研究成果主要由学者完成,涉及国家级合作,获得资助的研究数量有限。因此,有必要鼓励发表高质量的研究成果并建立国际研究伙伴关系。
