Abstract: Abstract Date palm (Phoenix dactylifera) is one of the commonly used polyphenolic rich fruits attributing also to various therapeutic effect in different diseases and disorders. We aimed to study and analyse the global research output related to date palm based on a fact of its large consumption and production in Middle East. We analysed 1,376 papers obtained from SCOPUS database for the period of 2000–11. The study examines major productive countries and their citation impact. We have also analysed inter-collaborative linkages, national priorities of date palm research, besides analysing the characteristics of its high productivity institutions, authors and journal.
