4. Other specialties were involved and the affiliation of the 1st author in a multi-authored article was from departments other
than dermatology.
Medline search using as entries the names of institutions of each GCC countries revealed other citations.
These citations did not appear by our search method for some reasons
1. The address of the institute was not mentioned in the paper
2. Department or the section was not specified.
3. The word ‘’dermatology’’ was not in the title, though the institute is practicing dermatology.e.g papers from Bin Sina Hospital
( a leprosy hospital in Jeddah )and National Leishmaniasis Research Project (KACST)

Gulf countries with a good economy should invest more on research, O.5% of GNP
( Gross Net Production )should be enhanced to 2%
The United Nation' Education, Science and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) recommends that countries dedicate at least 2% of their gross
domestic product to research and development
