Abstract:
Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain the leading cause of global mortality, yet disparities exist in cardiovascular research, particularly in low- and middle-income countries. This study presents a bibliometric analysis of cardiology research across OIC member countries from 2001 to 2025, examining productivity, impact, journal quality, and collaboration. OIC countries produced 64,299 publications, accruing 888,087 citations and 1,008,023 views. Annual publications rose from 516 in 2001 to 5,813 in 2025, an eleven-fold increase. Citation peaks occurred between 2013 and 2016, reaching 71,096 in 2016, while views peaked at 70,670 in 2020, reflecting temporal recognition trends. Journal analysis showed that mid-tier journals (Q2-Q3) hosted most publications: Q3 (35 %), Q2 (28 %), Q1 (20 %), and Q4 (17 %). Notably, Q1 and Q2 publications increased after 2015, indicating improved quality and visibility. Collaboration analysis revealed institutional (38 %) dominated, followed by national (29 %), international (28 %), and single-authored papers (6 %). International collaborations had the highest impact (29.7 citations per paper, FWCI 1.62), compared to national (8.5 citations, FWCI 0.44), institutional (7.7 citations, FWCI 0.36), and single-authored papers (4.2 citations, FWCI 0.36), highlighting the importance of cross-border partnerships. Country-level analysis showed Turkey, Iran, Egypt, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia contributed most publications, while lower-output countries such as Algeria, Libya, Kyrgyzstan, and Azerbaijan achieved high citations per paper and FWCI. Overall, OIC cardiology research expanded substantially in quantity and visibility, yet disparities in productivity, quality, and impact persist, emphasizing the need to strengthen research capacity, promote high-quality studies, and foster international collaboration across all member countries.
