[Thread] 1/ For #brismes2021 I did a survey of knowledge production on the Gulf, I analysed the top ranked 7000 google scholar hits to see what academic areas predominated. The below graph shows proportion of studies across Humanities, Natural science or Social Sciences 
2/ Arts & Humanities is generally less common (perhaps in line with general fact these subjects tend to get cited less). Interesting to note that in Oman and Kuwait studies in the Natural Sciences & Medicine are ranked higher by Google Scholar. Below is a breakdown by discipline
3/ Health, Politics/Political Science, Energy & Environment, Accounting Business and Finance and Education are the top five disciplines (broadly speaking). As a side note, almost half the studies of Iraq related to the war. Even medical studies tended to focus on topics like PTSD
