非洲的神经科学研究仍然很少。制定新的政策来促进非洲的神经科学前景势在必行,但这些政策必须基于研究成果的准确数据,而这些数据在很大程度上是缺乏的。这些数据必须反映非洲大陆54个国家研究环境的异质性。在这里,我们分析了1996年至2017年间与非洲机构有关的神经科学出版物。在12,326篇PubMed索引出版物中,有5,219篇显示了明确的证据,表明这项工作是在非洲进行的,并由非洲的研究人员领导-平均每个国家每年约5篇。从这里,我们提取有关期刊和引文,资金,国际合著和使用的技术的信息。作为参考,我们还从英国,美国,澳大利亚,日本和巴西随机选择的220篇出版物中提取了相同的指标。我们的数据集提供了对全球范围内非洲神经科学研究现状的见解。在这里,作者调查了过去二十年来非洲的神经科学出版物,突出了活跃的研究领域,国际网络,资金和使用的技术。
Neuroscience research in Africa remains sparse. Devising new policies to boost Africa’s neuroscience landscape is imperative, but these must be based on accurate data on research outputs which is largely lacking. Such data must reflect the heterogeneity of research environments across the continent’s 54 countries. Here, we analyse neuroscience publications affiliated with African institutions between 1996 and 2017. Of 12,326 PubMed indexed publications, 5,219 show clear evidence that the work was performed in Africa and led by African-based researchers - on average ~5 per country and year. From here, we extract information on journals and citations, funding, international coauthorships and techniques used. For reference, we also extract the same metrics from 220 randomly selected publications each from the UK, USA, Australia, Japan and Brazil. Our dataset provides insights into the current state of African neuroscience research in a global context. Here, the authors survey neuroscience publications from Africa over the past two decades, highlighting areas of active research, international networks, funding, and techniques used.
