Abstract | ||||
This paper studies thirty-three Arabic scholarly journals in the field of library and information science available at Dar Almandumah databases. By the end of 2015, they include 11182 articles. The study aims to present quantitive and qualitative analysis of research trends in these journals, using the bibliometric method. The results indicate that, the publication of these journals is limited to eight countries, namely: Egypt, Saudi Arabia, Iraq, Tunisia, Jordan, Algeria, Libya, and Syria. Fifty-four percent of these articles are available in full text, while forty-six percent of them have only bibliographic data. Eighteen journals are still running, while fifteen have been discontinued from publication. Only seven journals are updated until 2015 in the databases | ||||
