Abstract EN

This study aims at recognizing the characteristics of intellectual production in the field of Waqf via examining its numerical, topical, linguistic and temporal trends in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia within the period from 2009 to 2019.

The intellectual production features in the field of Waqf have been studied from the temporal and numerical point of views.

In addition, the forms and temporal and topical distribution of the intellectual production have been examined within the study period.

The study methodology is a bibliometric one, where the study is based upon reckoning and analyzing the scientific output from one hand, and studying the numerical and qualitative trends of such a production from another hand.

The main conclusions are as follows: There are (777) intellectual and scientific works within the period from 2009- 2019; conference research papers set a record (24.83%) and reached 193 papers; encyclopedias, indexes and dictionaries were the lowest (5) with a ratio of (0.64%).

As for the topical and temporal distribution of the scientific output, the year 2009 came first having 122 information sources and the subject of "Waqf History" was in the first place with a rate of 27%.

The study recommends establishing a Waqf information center supervised by a certain Saudi body that will be responsible for both collecting information and the scientific production.

Expansion and activation of scientific chairs in Saudi universities are also recommended.
