BACKGROUND
The Arab world has seen an increase in the burden of musculoskeletal diseases. No bibliometric studies have characterized rheumatology research in the Arab world. This study evaluates the productivity and impact of rheumatology research in the Arab world.
METHODS
We searched the Web of Science Core Collection for rheumatology publications, from 1976 to 2014, for each of the Arab League (AL) countries, North America, Europe and Asia. For the AL countries, the overall trend of publications and citations was analyzed, while considering the paper type and collaborations.
RESULTS
The AL countries published 944 rheumatology papers over the period studied. The number of publications increased by a factor of 2.77 (95 % CI, 2.75-2.78) each decade, and citations increased by a factor of 2.36 (95 % CI, 0.96-5.82). The absolute number of papers included in the top-10 rheumatology journals remained constant but the proportion decreased. Papers involving collaboration among AL countries were found to increase over time.
CONCLUSIONS
Overall, the AL countries lag in research productivity and impact compared to other regions. Three countries are responsible for the majority of publications, while four countries receive the majority of citations.
背景
阿拉伯世界肌肉骨骼疾病的负担有所增加。尚无文献计量学研究对阿拉伯世界的风湿病研究进行特征描述。本研究评估阿拉伯世界风湿病研究的产出和影响力。
方法
我们在科学网核心合集数据库中检索了1976年至2014年期间阿拉伯联盟（阿盟）各国、北美、欧洲和亚洲的风湿病学出版物。对于阿盟国家，在考虑论文类型和合作情况的同时，分析了出版物和被引频次的总体趋势。
结果
在所研究期间，阿盟国家共发表了944篇风湿病学论文。每十年出版物数量增长2.77倍（95%置信区间，2.75 - 2.78），被引频次增长2.36倍（95%置信区间，0.96 - 5.82）。排名前十的风湿病学期刊收录的论文绝对数量保持不变，但所占比例下降。发现涉及阿盟国家间合作的论文数量随时间增加。
结论
总体而言，与其他地区相比，阿盟国家在研究产出和影响力方面滞后。大部分出版物来自三个国家，大部分被引频次来自四个国家。
