چکیده:
The purpose of this study was to map the structure of scientific outputs of
petroleum field in Science Citation Index (SCI) accessible via Web of Science
(WOS) during 1990 to 2011 and determine the position of Iran. The used
research methods were citation analysis and historiography. The results showed
that there were totally 26859 records indexed in the petroleum discipline during
1990-2011 in SCI. USA, 7237 documents (27.28%), was the most collaborative
country in this research. Iran with 321 documents ranked 21th country among all
countries. The American author, Marshall A.G., with 85 documents ranked top
among the most productive authors. In Iran, Kharrat from Petroleum University
of Technology with 8 documents was the most productive Iranian author in
petroleum field. Among the institutes and universities, Chinese Academy of
Science was the most productive with 530 documents. Among the institutes and
universities at national level, Tehran University has the first place with 53
documents. Energy & Fuels, Organic Geochemistry, and Abstracts of Papers of
the American Chemical Society were the most important journals in terms of
production and citation (both LCS and GCS) in petroleum field. The scientific
map of petroleum field was drawn using HistCiteTM software. The analysis of
the map revealed six thematic clusters including “Analysis and evaluation of
compounds and elements of molecular structure of petroleum”, “Analysis and
evaluation of compounds and elements of molecular structure of petroleum
using mass spectrometry”, “reviewing and modeling of conditions of production
and formation of source rock”, “survey of petroleum and its compounds
biodegradation by bacteria and algae”, “survey of characteristics and history of
petroleum reservoir”, and “survey of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons
(PAHs)”.

com Abstract The purpose of this study was to map the structure of scientific outputs of petroleum field in Science Citation Index (SCI) accessible via Web of Science (WOS) during 1990 to 2011 and determine the position of han.
Energy & Fuels, Organic Geochemistry, and Abstracts of Papers of the American Chemical Society were the most important journals in terms of production and citation (both LCS and GCS) in petroleum field.
Research objectives The major aim of this research is to visualize the historiographic map of scientific products of petroleum scholars indexed in Science Citation Index (SCI) accessible via WOS during 1990-2009.
Pashootanizade & Osareh (2009) by reviewing 22,617 records indexed between 2000 and 2008 in the Web of Science database and employing citation analysis methods attempted to identify key authors and institutes and their degree of collaboration, core journals, rate of scientific output, publishing forms and languages and leading countries in the field of Agriculture.
To visualize the structure of Iranian scientific output in Science Citation Index (SCI) accessible via Web of Science (WOS) during 2000-2006, Osareh & Keshvari (2010) used scientometric techniques and HistCite software.
Table 3 The Most Productive Iranian Authors in Petroleum Indexed in SCI during 1990 to 2011 {مراجعه شود به فایل جدول الحاقی} In regard to institutes and universities, Chinese Academy of Science with 530 documents is the most productive institute.
Historiographical map of scientific outputs in Petroleum indexed in SCI during 1990 to 2011 show that 6 thematic clusters are formed.
