Background: The evolution of information and knowledge has affected all organizations, including Libraries. Knowledge management is predominant in the fields of business management information systems, Management library and information science. The aim of this study is to identify and gather literature on the concepts of knowledge management (KM) related to libraries. Methods: The purpose of this article is a bibliometric study on the Knowledge management related to library in the WoS and Scopus databases. The aim is to know main issues such as the evolution of development over the years, Citation, publication, source, author, and country comparative areas are discussed. This study will support potential scholars in this area by offering a summary of the literature they are looking at and identifying new approaches to science to place their own work and the most important authors. Results: According to the search strategy used, a total of 416 and 277 documents were published in Scopus and web of sciences, respectively. The average citation per document was 7.35 (Scopus) and 4.27 (web of science). The findings indicate an overall gradually rise in the publishing rate over the sample period. The leading countries in KM research were the United States and China, in all datasets, including India and the United Kingdom. Entitled “A formal definition of Big Data based on its essential features” has the highest citations in both databases. Conclusion: This bibliometric review offers an updated historical perspective on the development of KM study and illustrated the role performed by various contributors. However it does not represent adequately the contributions of African countries and organizations, which implies increased support and an emphasis on KM research to improve knowledge management research

Background: This bibliometric analysis aimed to identify and evaluate the 100 most-cited articles (T100 articles) on Sepsis syndrome. Method: The 100 most cited Sepsis syndrome-related articles were downloaded from Elsevier Scopus on 03.11.2020. Each article were evaluated and described with the core information, 100 Most cited documents, The 10 articles of our list with the highest citation per year (CY), Annual total citation per year, Most cited countries, Top10 Country-wise scientific production, Top 10 Authors Production Over time, Top 10 Most relevant source and impacts are main subjects of the study. Results: The top 100 publications with highly cited articles are chosen for this analysis. The years 2003 and 2005 were the most productive and positive year during this research. Most of the best-cited papers have been published in the New England Journal of Medicine (NEJM) and in The Lancet. In the top 100 highly cited articles the title: “Intensive insulin therapy in critically ill patients” got the highest citation with 7663 and published in 2001 followed by the title "COVID-19: consider cytokine storm syndromes and immunosuppression" written by Mehta P published in 2020, got the highest total Citation per Year with 1744. The highest number of total citations per article was 5972 from the year 2016. Conclusion: A comprehensive list of the most cited studies on Sepsis syndrome disorders can be found in this review. This current approach is a way to acknowledge the classic Septic disease articles, provide insight into international leaders, and explain patterns in research on Septic disease syndrome.

The novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) has affected almost all the countries globally, and it is considered a global pandemic. Hence, this study conducted a bibliometric analysis of scientific output on the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak using the Web of Science (WoS) database. A specific search technique was developed based on Corona virus-related keywords from January 1, 2019, until June 24, 2020. A total of 10850 documents related to COVID-19 published from January 1, 2019, to June 24, 2020, were retrieved from the WoS database. The researchers downloaded the data from WoS as a WoS plain text file, and the data were analyzed using R studio (biblioshiny) software. Out of the total of 10850 documents published in 1736 scientific journals, 10845 papers belonging to the year 2020, which constituents 99.954% of the total documents (N=10850). Wang Y is the most productive author who contributed 0.60% (n=65) of the total documents published. USA is the predominant country that produced 2701 documents related to COVID-19, and China follows it with 1937 documents. The most active collaboration held between the USA and China, and it accounted for 2.75% (n=298) of the entire documents (N=10850).

Introduction: The purpose of this study was to measure the progress of scientific research outcomes of four medical journals, which are indexed to National Library of Medicine (USA) PubMed published from Saudi Arabia during the period from 2000 to 2019 Methods: Scientific papers that are published under the category of original and review articles, short communications, case, and short reports were downloaded from the top four medical journals indexed in the PubMed database viz. (i) Saudi Medical Journal (SMJ) (ii) Neurosciences (iii) Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation (SJKDT) and (iv) The Annals of Saudi Medicine (ASM) and their research productivity is measured through an appropriate mapping process. The data were analyzed according to certain parameters such as the growth of publication, the types of publication, and the authorship pattern. Inferences: The findings of the study revealed that 12866 articles were contributed by 47346 authors with an average of 3.67 authors per article, and 47.92% articles were published in 12 issues of SMJ (n=6165(47.92%)) , Neuroscience (n=1422, 11.05%)), SJKDT (n=3160, 24.56%)and ASM (n=2119, 16.47%) during 2000–2019. Most of the articles (n=10774, 83.74%) included more than one author, leaving only 2092 articles (16.26%) were published by single authors. The authors have collaborated with national and international authors for their scholarly work. Conclusions: The analysis of bibliometric indicators of these four medical journals showed the rising tendency of research publications and the high rate of collaborative research output. These journals contributed a massive number of research papers during the period of the last twenty years. Collaboration among researchers facilitates sharing knowledge and techniques and brings a mixture of positive scientific thoughts. This study recommends that the unified bylaws for faculty in Saudi universities should give more weight to multi-authored papers.

Objectives: This study intended to examine and document the published evidence in recent years (1982-2019) regarding physical therapy research in Saudi Arabia.

Objectives: The aim of this study is to analyze research productivity through literature mapping of Health care Professionals (HCPs) belonging to Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal university (IAU), Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA). To facilitate that, publications made by the HCPs in those journals indexed in the PubMed indexed medical database have been chosen for this study. The selected study period was between 2014 and 2018. This study also explores the literature growth, mapping of the health care literature and health care professional’s collaboration patterns in KSA. Methods: The chosen data were downloaded from PubMed Database through Endnote software. Publications are filtered to countries based on the affiliation. The following search terms have been used to yield the records from database on 10th April 2019, “(((((saudi[Affiliation] OR saudiarabia[Affiliation]) OR KSA[Affiliation]) OR K.S.A[Affiliation]) OR K.S.A.[Affiliation]) OR kingdom of saudi arabia[Affiliation]) AND ("2014/01/01"[PDAT] : "2018/12/31"[PDAT])))))“. Result: It revealed that 33872 papers have been published with specific on health care literature during the study period. Among the published papers, 26.52% (N=8983) of them belonging to the year 2018 whereas 75% of the articles were published in a rest of the years. The journal “PLoS One” was the most productive Journal, with 680 of publication were produced during 2014-18, followed by Saudi Med J (N=619), Sci Rep (N=612), Saudi J Biol Sci (N=412). In terms of collaboration, 59.05% (N=20001) of the articles were published with more than five authors, demonstrating a high range of collaboration among the Saudi Arabian health professionals. Conclusion: This study concludes that there is a progressive growth in the number of publications as well as research collaborations among Saudi healthcare professionals.
