Saudi Dent J. 2024 Sep;36(9):1248-1252. doi: 10.1016/j.sdentj.2024.07.008. Epub 2024 Jul 14.
To describe the patterns of authorship, collaboration, study type, specialty, and funding status of articles published in Saudi dental journals.
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.
Five Saudi dental journals were identified, with a total of 2574 published articles. The journal with the highest number of studies published was the (33 %), followed by the (25 %), (17 %), (14 %), and (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.
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.

确定从创刊至2023年12月31日以英文发表在沙特牙科杂志上的所有文章。使用预试验表格提取以下数据：出版日期、文章数量、研究类型、作者模式、合作性质、文章专业领域和资金状况。描述性统计包括频率和百分比的计算。
确定了五本沙特牙科杂志，共发表2574篇文章。发表研究数量最多的杂志是 （33%），其次是 （25%）、 （17%）、 （14%）和 （11%）。大多数研究的第一作者是学者（89%），来自亚洲国家（84.3%）。每篇出版物的平均作者数量为四人（标准差 = 2）。约13.13%的文章为独著。在14.76%的已确定研究中观察到国际合作。四分之一（24.3%）的研究为横断面研究，近一半的出版物属于牙髓病学和正畸学领域。此外，8%的研究获得了资助。
沙特牙科杂志的研究成果主要由学者产出，涉及国家级合作，资助研究数量有限。因此，有必要鼓励发表高质量研究以及开展国际研究合作。
