This bibliometric analysis audited dental sciences research in the Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences (IJBMS) from 2007-2015. Oral pathology, microbiology, and cancer were the most published topics, with original articles dominating.
Area of Science:
- Dental sciences research
- Bibliometrics
- Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences (IJBMS)
Background:
- The Iranian Journal of Basic Medical Sciences (IJBMS) is a key publication venue for medical research in Iran.
- Understanding the trends in dental sciences publications within IJBMS can inform future research directions and collaborations.
- Previous bibliometric studies have explored various medical fields, but a focused audit of dental sciences in IJBMS is warranted.
Purpose of the Study:
- To conduct a bibliometric audit of dental sciences articles published in IJBMS between 2007 and 2015.
- To analyze publication trends, including article types, research topics, international collaborations, funding sources, and authorship patterns.
- To compare findings with existing bibliometric studies in dental sciences.
Main Methods:
- A web-based search was conducted to identify dental sciences articles published in IJBMS from 2007 to 2015.
- Data were collected and analyzed for various parameters: topic, article type, international collaborations, funding, author count, and authorship trends.
- Quantitative analysis was performed on the collected data.
Main Results:
- A total of 18 dental sciences-related data were identified.
- Original articles constituted the majority (12), followed by review articles (4) and short communications (2).
- Oral pathology and microbiology (16) were the most frequent topics, followed by oral medicine and radiology (7) and periodontics (7). Oral cancer and gingival/periodontal diseases were prominent research areas.
Conclusions:
- The study provides a comprehensive overview of dental sciences research published in IJBMS over a nine-year period.
- Oral pathology, microbiology, and related clinical areas represent significant research interests.
- The findings highlight the journal's contribution to dental sciences and offer insights for future research strategies and academic development.
