“…Currently, there have been very few literature regarding the bibliometric analysis of scientific journals 3,4,5 , with none done for AHS. Therefore, the study aimed at identifying the scientific production and to explore the AHS journal's bibliometric characteristics during its history from the following perspectives; the hottest topics, most impactful papers, temporal distribution, most influential institutions, keywords distribution, countries of origin, authors as well as their collaboration network.…”

Background: The Journal of African Health Sciences (AHS) is an internationally refereed journal in the field of health sciences with vast research contributions in the world and Africa region. Objective: The study aimed to document the scientific production and explore the AHS research bibliometric characteristics since its first issue. Methods: A comprehensive retrospective bibliometric analysis was performed on AHS published documents indexed in Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus since the journal’s first issue. The analysis was done using SPSS v. 22.0, Bibliometrix Package in R, and VOSviewer v.1.6.15. Results: A total of 1649 and 1879 documents indexed in Web of Science (WoS) and Scopus were retrieved. The annual number of publications showed a significant increase in both databases. The most contributing countries (in WoS vs. Scopus) were; Nigeria (n = 393 vs. 276), Uganda (215 vs. 220) and South Africa (143 vs. 101). The most productive authors were “Tumwine JK’’, “Mayanja-Kizza H”, and “Ocama P”. Makerere University, The University of Ibadan, and University of Nigeria were the most contributive institutions. International agencies mainly from the USA were the main funders of AHS documents. Analysis of keywords revealed the dominance of research topics with keywords such as HIV/AIDS, Tuberculosis, Malaria, Obesity, Hypertension, risk factors, infection, mortality, amongst others. Conclusions: This analysis has revealed the progress in the development and growth of scientific research from AHS. Moreover, top-cited documents-analysis has reflected its focus on health issues relevant to Africa. This analysis would help in evidence-based descriptions of AHS research output. Keyword: Bibliometric analysis; African Health Sciences; VOSviewer; Publication progress.

“…The most commonly mentioned descriptors for the retrieval of scientific productions on NTDs from JBSTM revealed a strategic pattern of publications in the journal, a fact not observed in other scientific journals that publish on diseases with more general endemic characteristics in Latin America, Asia, and other continents 19 , 26 , 27 . The descriptors express the general aspects recommended by government agencies, with priority for recurrent diseases in the Brazilian scenario, and consequently, the area of expertise of the JBSTM authors 7 , 9 , 22 .…”

Background: To analyze the temporal evolution of research on Neglected Tropical Diseases (NTDs) published by the Journal of the Brazilian Society of Tropical Medicine ( JBSTM ). Methods: We performed an analysis of the scientific production in JBSTM on NTDs using an advanced search, which included authors’ descriptors, title, and abstract, and by combining specific terms for each NTDs from 1991 to 2021. Data related to authors, countries of origin, institutions, and descriptors, were evaluated and analyzed over time. Bibliographic networks were constructed using VOSviewer 1.6.16. Results: The JBSTM published 4,268 scientific papers during this period. Of these 1,849 (43.3%) were related to NTDs. The number of publications on NTDs increased by approximately 2.4-fold, from 352 (total 724) during 1991-2000 to 841 (total 2,128) during 2011-2021, despite the proportional reduction (48.6% versus 39.5%). The most common singular NTDs subject of publications included Chagas disease (31.4%; 581/1,849), leishmaniasis (25.5%, 411/1,849), dengue (9.4%, 174/1,849), schistosomiasis (9.0%; 166/1,849), and leprosy (6.5%, 120/1,849), with authorship mostly from Brazil’s South and Southeast regions. Conclusions: Despite the proportional reduction in publications, JBSTM remains an important vehicle for disseminating research on NTDs during this period. There is a need to strengthen the research and subsequent publications on specific NTDs. Institutions working and publishing on NTDs in the country were concentrated in the South and Southeast regions, requiring additional investments in institutions in other regions of the country.

In this study, we have examined the research trends of the Indian Journal of Pharmaceutical Education and Research for the year 2008-2020. We have used bibliometric indicators in two ways on the 1261 documents published in the journal. First, we have presented the performance analysis of the journal, like year-wise distribution of documents, authorship pattern, prolific authors, institutions, and countries. Secondly, the science mapping like keyword analysis, country collaboration, etc., was done using R and Vosviewer. The bibliographic and citation data of 1261 documents were extracted from the Scopus database.
