Abstract | Scientific research has been recognized as one of the cornerstones of economic growth and development. Publication of research findings in biomedical journals has grown exponentially in the past few decades globally but the contribution of developing countries is still abysmally low. To evaluate the productivity of Nigerian biomedical community, this study was conducted using the African Journal of Reproductive Health (AJRH) as a benchmark. This was a retrospective review of all articles published in AJRH between 2006 and 2010. Using a proforma all relevant information in the journal were extracted. There were a total of 204 articles produced by 798 authors. In terms of geographical spread of authors within Nigeria Edo, Oyo and Kaduna states are the three leading states, while outside Nigeria, the US is the leading country. More than 81% of the authors are affiliated to either the University or Research Institutions. In six publications, funding came from within Nigeria while in 87 funding was from outside Nigeria. Répartition géographique des publications dans la Revue africaine de santé de la reproduction : analyse des articles publiés entre 2006 et 2010 On reconnait que la recherche scientifique constitue une des pierres angulaires de la croissance et du développement économique. La publication des résultats de recherche dans les revues biomédicales s'est accrue mondialement de manière exponentielle au cours de ces dernières décennies, mais la contribution des pays en développement demeure encore atrocement basse. Pour évaluer la productivité de la communauté biomédicale nigériane, nous avons mené cette étude en nous servant de la Revue africaine de santé de la reproduction (RASR) comme repère de niveau. Il s'agissait d'un passage en revue rétrospectif de tous les articles publiés dans RASR entre 2006 et 2010. Nous avons tiré toutes les informations pertinentes dans la revue à l'aide d'un pro-forma. En tout, il y avait 204 articles produits par 798 auteurs. En ce qui concerne la distribution géographique des auteurs venant du Nigéria, les états d'Edo, d'Oyo et de Kaduna étaient les trois états les plus importants, alors qu'en dehors du Nigéria, les Etats -Unis étaient les plus importants. Plus de 81% des auteurs affiliés soit é des universités soit é des instituts de recherche. Six articles ont été financés à partir du Nigéria alors que 87 ont reçu du financement de l'extérieur du Nigéria. |
