Abstract

This study aimed at determining the publication trend in Islamic medical ethics; finally, a road map was designed. All published English and Persian papers in Islamic medical ethics were searched until June 2017. Finally, 971 English papers and 204 Persian papers were analyzed. Our results show that publication in Islamic medical ethics started in 1973. The beginning of life was considered the most favorable subject followed by public health and biotechnology by both Iranian and non-Iranian scholars. Taken together, the publication trend in Islamic medical ethics has experienced ups and downs and is not as satisfactory as it should be. © 2021, The Author(s), under exclusive licence to Springer Science+Business Media, LLC part of Springer Nature.
