Despite the quality of many research papers published in Arabic, they are poorly cited. Is the reason for this due to the level of the journal, the language in which the research was published, or are there other reasons?
Taking into account the presence of research in the Arabic language specialty, as well as research related to Islamic law that encourages learning the Arabic language because it is the language of the Qur’an, as well as the fact that the references used in these researches are written in the Arabic language, in addition to considering studying in the Arabic language an advantage and not a defect, all of this excludes this type of research from Consider publishing it in a language other than Arabic
How well is research published in Arabic cited in other Arabic-language publications?
There are many distinguished papers published in Arabic, but they are mostly cited in other papers in Arabic as well, and I do not know to what extent they are cited in papers published in other languages, so I am wondering about this.
It's not specific to Arabic, anything that's not English is mostly ignored these days. Somebody citing a non-English reference these days usually means one of two things: (a) it's an old reference from times when English wasn't default yet (b) no English reference was found to prove a certain point.
