The study investigates the international publishing trends of Egyptian researchers in Library and Information Science (LIS) over the period of 2013 to 2022. It identifies prolific authors, analyzes affiliations, explores publication types, examines open-access trends, and highlights top publishers and journals. A bibliometric analysis was conducted using the Web of Science Core Collection database to analyze the dataset. The findings indicated a low level of international productivity; over a ten-year period, 128 documents were published internationally, with 110 of them being scientific papers. South Valley University was the most productive university, with 14.84% of all articles produced, while Assiut University was the least productive with 3.13%. The year 2021 was the most productive in the field of libraries and information science in Egypt, the year 2020 came next. Mansour E., who has 19 publications, was considered to be the most productive author. The researchers published at a variety of journals, with the majority of articles appearing in the "Scientometrics" journal. The results revealed that scientific articles dominate the publication landscape, signifying a focus on peer-reviewed research. Encouragingly, there is a growing trend toward open-access publications. The value of the study lies in being the first bibliometric study that presents a comprehensive view of international publishing in library and information science in Egypt. The findings provide valuable results into international publishing trends, offering useful information for future research efforts and decision-making.
