BACKGROUND
Diabetes burden is a serious warning for urgent action plan across the world. Knowledge production in this context could provide evidences for more efficient interventions. Aimed to that, we quantify the trend of diabetes research outputs of Middle East countries focusing on the scientific publication numbers, citations, and international collaboration.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
This scientometrics study was performed based on the systematic analysis through three international databases; ISI, PubMed, and Scopus from 1990 to 2012. International collaboration of Middle East countries and citations was analyzed based on Scopus. Diabetes' publications in Iran specifically were assessed, and frequent used terms were mapped by VOSviewer software.
RESULTS
Over 23-year period, the number of diabetes publications and related citations in Middle East countries had increasing trend. The number of articles on diabetes in ISI, PubMed, and Scopus were respectively; 13,994, 11,336, and 20,707. Turkey, Israel, Iran, Saudi Arabia, and Egypt have devoted the five top competition positions. In addition, Israel, Turkey, and Iran were leading countries in citation analysis. The most collaborative country with Middle East countries was USA and within the region, the most collaborative country was Saudi Arabia. Iran in all databases stands on third position and produced 12.7% of diabetes publications within region. Regarding diabetes researches, the frequent used terms in Iranian articles were "effect," "woman," and "metabolic syndrome."
CONCLUSION
Ascending trend of diabetes research outputs in Middle East countries is appreciated but encouraging to strategic planning for maintaining this trend, and more collaboration between researchers is needed to regional health promotion.
背景
糖尿病负担对全球紧急行动计划构成严重警示。在此背景下的知识产出可为更有效的干预措施提供证据。为此，我们通过关注科学出版物数量、引用情况和国际合作，对中东国家糖尿病研究产出的趋势进行量化。
材料与方法
本科学计量学研究基于对三个国际数据库（ISI、PubMed和Scopus，时间跨度为1990年至2012年）的系统分析开展。基于Scopus分析中东国家的国际合作与引用情况。特别评估了伊朗的糖尿病出版物，并使用VOSviewer软件绘制常用术语图。
结果
在23年期间，中东国家糖尿病出版物数量及相关引用呈上升趋势。ISI、PubMed和Scopus上关于糖尿病的文章数量分别为13994篇、11336篇和20707篇。土耳其、以色列、伊朗、沙特阿拉伯和埃及占据前五名竞争位置。此外，以色列、土耳其和伊朗在引用分析中处于领先地位。与中东国家合作最多的国家是美国，在该地区内，合作最多的国家是沙特阿拉伯。伊朗在所有数据库中均位居第三，在该地区糖尿病出版物中占12.7%。关于糖尿病研究，伊朗文章中常用的术语是“影响”“女性”和“代谢综合征”。
结论
中东国家糖尿病研究产出呈上升趋势值得肯定，但为保持这一趋势进行战略规划仍令人鼓舞，并且需要研究人员之间更多合作以促进区域健康。
