Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering (AJSE) is a rapidly growing multidisciplinary academic journal that publishes original contributions in the Science disciplines of Biological sciences, Chemistry, Earth Sciences, and Physics, and in the Engineering disciplines of Civil, Chemical, Electrical, Mechanical, Petroleum Engineering, Computer Science and Engineering, Systems Engineering, and along with a Theme Issue on specific topic. This study uses bibliometric tools to present a retrospective analysis of research productivity during 1977–2021. The bibliometric method used to analyze AJSE's published papers based on annual growth, citation pattern, prolific authors, country, organization, funding agencies, author keyword, authorship patterns, theme analysis, most cited papers, cited references, and international collaborations. The result shows that AJSE has grown noticeably from 1977 to 2021 in total publications and citations, reaching 7658 papers and 33,846 citations. India (TP: 1324) is the country with the more number of papers contributed. King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals (TP: 838) found as the most contributing organization to the AJSE publications. Zhang L identified as the most prolific author with 28 publications. The most important author keywords are Optimization, Adsorption, Genetic algorithm, and Mechanical properties. Saudi Arabia and Egypt collaborated in the maximum number of AJSE research papers. This is the first bibliometric investigation of AJSE scientific literature since its establishment. Overall, the findings provide useful information to the AJSE editorial board. Its retrospective review will likely encourage readers of the journal and help the editorial team formulate research agendas and inform research strategies that will enable research scientists to contribute high-quality research papers to the AJSE.

Background: Nanoparticles are increasingly used in dentistry for various applications, including enhancing the mechanical properties of denture base resins. This study aimed to comprehensively review and analyze the research landscape of nanoparticles and their effect on the flexural strength of denture base resins to identify key research areas and trends and to highlight the importance of collaboration between authors and institutions. Methods: A Bibliometric Analysis was conducted using the Keywords "Nanoparticle*" AND "Denture*" OR "CAD/CAM." The literature search from the WOS database was restricted to the publication years 2011 to 2022. Results: Key findings encompass an increase in research publications but a decline in citations. Saudi Arabia, China, and Iraq led this research, with specific institutions excelling. Notable journals with high impact factors were identified. Authorship patterns show variations in citation impact. Additionally, keyword analysis revealed that current research trends offer insights into influential authors and their networks. Conclusions: The analysis of nanoparticles and denture base resins reveals a dynamic and evolving landscape that emphasizes the importance of collaboration, staying current with research trends, and conducting high-quality research in this ever-evolving domain.

Bibliometrics is a high-demand and fast-growing statistical area for the analysis of scientific literature in a certain field. Although religion and health (R&H) field has been a developing study area in recent years, only a few bibliometric studies have been published on the literature in R&H. In this study, we aimed to perform bibliometric analysis of the health literature related to the most populous Abrahamic religions during the period of 1975-2017 by using Web of Science database including WoS Collection Core Collection, Korean Journal Database, Russian Science Citation Index and SciELO Citation Index. In overall evaluation, the USA ranked first in publication productivity with 1388 items and covered 37.21% of total literature. The Journal of Religion and Health published the highest number of documents (n = 351). We found a total of 1329 items in health and Christianity field, and the USA was the most productive country followed by the UK and Canada (n = 166 and 63 documents, respectively). Loma Linda University was found to publish the highest number of items. We detected 1965 publications in Islam and health area, and top three countries were the USA, the UK and Saudi Arabia (n = 387, 194 and 137 items, respectively). University of London was the most productive institution (n = 72, 3.67%). A total of 436 articles were detected in Judaism and health. Top three countries in productivity were the UK, Israel and the UK (211, 151 and 36 items, respectively). Hebrew University of Jerusalem produced 17.43% of total documents as the topmost institution. Although Abrahamic religions originated from Middle East, we noted that most productive authors in this field were not Middle Eastern and from developed countries. Researchers from developing or least developed countries should be encouraged to carry out more studies in R&H field. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Ramadan fasting is one of the five pillars of Islam. The current study aims to examine, analyze, and identify trends of health-related publications on Ramadan fasting. In total, 1468 documents retrieved from Scopus were analyzed. The mean number of authors per document was 3.7, with an average of 13.3 citations per document. The UK ranked first (12.3%, n = 181) regarding the number of documents, followed by Iran (10.4%, n = 153) and then Saudi Arabia (9.8%, n = 144). The most active journal was "Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice" (4.9%, n = 72). Publications related to diabetes and fasting constituted around 29.7% (n = 436) of the literature. The research volume on Ramadan fasting has been noticeably growing. More reliable research is required to aid healthcare professionals in providing patient-specific care. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
