“…These findings are closely related to the current study, where the source of information is textbooks. Makhdom et al reported that engagement in clinical orthopedic research was also low in Saudi Arabia [ 19 ]. A review involving 91 orthopedic surgeons and 251 articles showed that the evidence collected within 20 years was low compared to the studies conducted in North America [ 19 ].…”

A leading factor for the sparse evidence in orthopedic research conducted in Saudi Arabia was inadequate funding to support research assistants.…”

Background Medical research is a central part of any residency training. In view of the new Saudi orthopedic committee promotion regulation that mandates each resident to participate in a research project, the challenges that stand in the way of completion of substantial research within surgical residency must be investigated. The aim of this study was to assess the practice, attitudes, perception, and limitations associated with research among residents in the Saudi orthopedic program in the central region. Methods A cross-sectional study was conducted between June and July 2020 using an online-based survey. The total number of study participants was 128 orthopedic residents out of the 191 residents enrolled in the central region program. Data were analyzed, and descriptive statistics in the form of frequency and percentage were determined, analytical tests were performed with P < 0.05 being statistically significant. Results Most residents (95 %) participated in a research project during residency. Most projects (53.10 %) were case reports followed by retrospective studies (48.40 %). The majority (79.70 %) did not attend a research methods course during residency. Experience in research differed significantly (P < 0.05) by age, residency year, and center. The mean involvement score was significantly higher among males at 3 (± 1) than among females at 2 (± 0) (P < 0.001). Only 40.60 % have access to orthopedic journals, and the same percentage (40.60 %) knew how to Critique original articles. There was a statistically significant difference in the accessibility score according to the training center. Lack of faculty support and mentorship were the main barriers to medical research at 62.50 and 39.10 %, respectively. A total of 68.80 % reported that funding was not available through their institutes. Conclusions In Saudi Arabia, the level of meaningful clinical research and publications by orthopedic residents is still low. The results of this study should be taken into consideration before the implementation of the new promotion criteria in the centers under the umbrella of Saudi orthopedic committee.

“…Other multiple studies examined the publications by Saudi surgeons and physicians on plastic, orthopedic, epilepsy, gastroenterology, spine, and abdominal surgery [ 14 - 19 ]. Their findings were mostly consistent with our findings in this study in regard to LOE and lack of clinical randomized trials.…”

Background Interdisciplinary collaboration is often the key to advance cancer research. This research collaboration is frequently observed between oncologists and pathologists. While clinical cancer research is often led by oncologists, the leading role of pathologists is likely limited to laboratory-based and preclinical research. Therefore, the magnitude and characteristics of clinical studies led by pathologists is largely unknown. Objectives The objective of our study was to assess the quantity and quality of clinical cancer-related publications led by Saudi pathologists over a 10-year period. Methods Open Access Original Article
