Article Synopsis
- The study evaluates research participation among Palestinian medical students, highlighting the significance of research for assessing scientific development in nations.
- An online survey conducted from March to May 2022 revealed that only 4.9% of the 425 participants published research articles, with clinical students showing higher publishing rates than preclinical students.
- Despite a strong awareness and positive attitudes toward research, barriers like lack of opportunities and mentorship persist; the authors recommend investing in research training, creating research clubs, and providing coaching to enhance participation.
