The current study aimed to analyze the trends of distance education research published in scientific journals in Saudi universities during the period from 2010 AD to 2020 through several aspects, the most important of which are: the contribution percentage of universities, magazines, prevailing authorship patterns, research methods, the percentage of male and female contribution, and the research tools used. The study also aimed to identify the research gaps in this research. The study used the bibliometric analysis method, and the content analysis card was used. The study sample consisted of (15) researches in the field of distance education published in (11) journals belonging to ten Saudi universities during the period (2010-2020). The results showed that (10) universities had contributions to distance education research, and (11) scientific journals contributed to the dissemination of distance education research, and that the individual authorship pattern was (66.7%), and the descriptive analytical method was employed in (13) with percentage of (86.7%), and that most of the researchers are males with percentage of (66.7%), and that the questionnaire was the main research tool by (73.3%). Also, the published research covered four basic aspects related to distance education, and the most important of these aspects is the effectiveness of distance learning with percentage of (40%).
