Mapping COVID-19 related research from Saudi Arabia, a scoping review: Between reality and dreams

OBJECTIVES: To map research production by Saudi-affiliated investigators in order to identify areas of strength and weakness. METHOD: We followed the Arksey and O’Malley (2005) framework. Medline and Cochrane databases were searched with a focus on identifying articles related to COVID-19 and Saudi...

description OBJECTIVES: To map research production by Saudi-affiliated investigators in order to identify areas of strength and weakness. METHOD: We followed the Arksey and O’Malley (2005) framework. Medline and Cochrane databases were searched with a focus on identifying articles related to COVID-19 and Saudi Arabia following the PRISMA protocol. The study was conducted at King Saud University, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia between March and May 2020. RESULTS: A total of 53 articles were ultimately included. Most of the research production from Saudi Arabia was opinion and narrative reviews related to the clinicopathological features of COVID-19 as well as control and prevention of virus spread. CONCLUSION: The results of this scoping review identify a relative deficiency in original research, which requires further investigation.
