ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND AND

AIMS:

To quantify the bibliometric parameters of Ramadan fasting literature from 2010 to 2021. MATERIALS AND

METHODS:

Scopus was searched for all articles related to Ramadan fasting or Islamic fasting from the beginning of 2010 to the end of 2021. Only original articles and reviews were included and their bibliometric and scientometric parameters were determined using Excel, Graph Pad Prism, VOSviewer, and Sci2 tool software.

RESULTS:

Finally 1276 articles, including 1109 original articles and 167 reviews, were included. These articles had 14263 citations and an H-index of 48. Based on the number of publications, top institute, top journal, top country, and top authors were University of Sfax (n = 48 articles), Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice (n = 69), the United States (n = 144), and Chtourou H & Hassanein M (n = 38), respectively. Also, Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice had a strong bibliographic coupling with other journals. The recent bursting words were adrenal insufficiency and COVID-19. The most co-occurred topics were the effect of Ramadan fasting on diabetic patients, pregnant women, and glycemic state and body composition of diabetic patients.

CONCLUSION:

This study provided a comprehensive bibliometric overview of Ramadan fasting literature from 2010 to 2021. The temporal change in the number of publications and other analyses on the literature of 2019, 2020 and 2021 showed that substantial increasing publications with new emerging subjects had become of interest to many researchers during the last three years.
