| Abstract: |
The study presents a bibliometric overview of the Arabian Journal for Science and Engineering (AJSE) on its 50th anniversary. The data were extracted from the Web of Science database, obtaining 10,482 records. The paper analyzes publication and citation trends, productive authors and institutions, and thematic development. AJSE has grown considerably since 1975 and currently publishes around 1,000 articles per year and has achieved nearly 100,000 citations. The results show an exponential growth of the number of publications and citations, especially in the last decade. The journal's impact factor has improved steadily to reach 2.9 in 2024, and now AJSE is being ranked as a quartile 2 (Q2) journal in the Web of Science and Q1 in Scopus (88th percentile). Co-authorship and institutional collaboration networks have strong international scope, mainly including Asia and the Middle East. Some highly cited articles show the diversity of the journal's impact, in areas such as fuzzy systems, nanotechnology, computational intelligence, material and environmental engineering. The visual analyses through VOSviewer and Bibliometrix also show AJSE's knowledge structure dynamics and thematic diversity. The findings provide valuable insights for researchers, editors, and policy makers who are interested in tracking the development and academic influence of AJSE regarding its global scientific research output.
