Glance for the Health Research Portal
In partnership with Elsevier, the National Center for Health Research (NCHR) at the Ministry of Health and Prevention (MOHAP) has established the Health Research Portal. This portal provides data and information about the UAE's health and biomedical research publications. It includes research publications issued by academic institutions, healthcare institutions, the private sector, and researchers in medical topics and basic sciences related to health fields from 2017 up to the present day.
Benefits of the Health Research Portal
The database provides high-quality information and quantitative indicators of research published by subscribing to the global research platform Pure-Elesiver, based on extracting data on research published in the United Arab Emirates from the SCOPUS database. In addition, the platform also provides user-friendly access to reliable data that health entities and institutions can use to develop strategies, policies, and comparisons in the research performance of data-based academic and healthcare institutions. It also significantly strengthens cooperation between academic and health institutions inside and outside the UAE in conducting health research.
