Abstract
Medical publications constitute an essential tool for sharing scientific advances in the medical field. They are also an educational tool of great significance in initial medical training, and also in further medical education. These publications are necessary to ensure an interface between the researchers and members of the medical scientific community, who are always looking for the correct and optimal treatment for their patients. Several golden rules have been laid out in terms of assessing the improvement in scientific productivity, namely the quality of the subject, the type of publication, the publication review and its impact factor, and the establishment of international collaborations. Bibliometrics is a quantitative and qualitative analysis of scientific publications, which aids in assessing the scientific productivity of a community or a scientific institution. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first bibliometric study to evaluate the scientific productivity in the field of medical oncology in Morocco.
