چکیده:
This paper presents the results of a bibliometric analysis of the Medical Sciences
(MS) domains in Iran. Totally 9047 articles indexed in ISI (Thomson Reuters
Database) from 1989 to 2008 in December 2008 have been extracted. HistCiteTM
applications are used to discover the Iranian publication status during this period.
The publication count has grown at an approximate rate of 40.5% per year. We
tried to introduce the most productive authors, and cited works. Moreover,
distributions of output in journals identified by ISI and research output analysis of
different universities were presented. The most influential cited authors and articles
in this research were drawn. Finally, the process of the evolution of the medical
sciences discipline, and its shift over the period of the research was traced and
shown in the map. Using HistCiteTM applications, retrieved articles were analyzed
and visualized.
خلاصه ماشینی:
While, Iranian research studies in medical sciences tend to be published in journals with lower impact factors (IF) than the world average (this includes the 31 major journals indexed in JCR) and the mean (IF) of 31 top journals was only 1/5.
(2008), in a paper revealed that in the past two decades, scientific publications in Iran have increased their medical science content, and the number of articles published in ISI journals has doubled between 1997 and 2001.
The following papers take us through some of related literature that used HistCiteTM1 Hamidi, Asnafi, and Osareh (2008), the pioneers of applying HistCiteT“ in Iran, investigated scientific publications in the fields of Bibliometrics, Scientometrics, Informetrics and Webometrics in WOS during 1990-2005.
The study indicated that the scientific production of Iranian authors in the field of social sciences in the period 1990-2006 in SSCI follows an ascending trend, with some fluctuations in the years 2004 to 2006.
A review of the literature of MS confirms an increasing number of papers published in Iran in the past two decades and HistCiteT“ is applicable software which is used and valid in different fields to visualize the results of literature searches in Web of Science.
Data Collection The population for this study was the Medical Sciences articles written by authors affiliated to the Iranian Universities.
HistCiteTM saves information on the title, author, journal, cited references, times cited, year of publication, document type, language, institution and country for each article.
