Neurology research in the Asian region has seen significant growth and development over the past decade, yet comprehensive analyses of its progress remain scarce. This study aims to address this gap by providing a detailed examination of neurology research in 47 Asian countries from 2013 to 2022. Data was extracted from the Scopus database, encompassing scholarly output, citations, and citation impact metrics. Findings reveal a total of 128,306 research documents published with 1,725,678 total citations, demonstrating a commendable level of research activity. However, disparities exist among countries, with China, Japan, and Australia emerging as leading contributors in terms of both quantity and citation impact. Despite this, a substantial number of countries and universities have published fewer than 100 papers, indicating room for improvement and the need for targeted capacity-building efforts.
