An Exploratory Bibliometric Analysis of African Pharmacovigilance Research Output Using SCOPUS
Josiah T Masuka
Abstract:Most global pharmacovigilance (PV) data is derived from developed countries. However, the determinants of the differences in PV research output between developing and developed countries contributing to this discrepancy still need to be explored. The objective of the current study is to describe the publication trends and characteristics of pharmacovigilance-related research stemming out of Africa in comparison to that emanating from developed countries. A bibliometric analysis was carried out using the SCOPUS… Show more
