Using indicators and statistics of ISI, this paper comparatively evaluates Iran
indexed scientific productions from 1993 through 2007. Considering the number
of indexed scientific productions in WOS, Iran was in a satisfactory position in
terms of the growth rate. According to the statistics of ESI, Iran was in the
second place after Turkey among Islamic countries and the fortieth in the world,

Iranian Scientific Products between 1993 and 2007 by Type of Document As shown in Table 3, ‘articles’ had the greatest contribution to the production of Iranian papers during the 15 years under study.
According to Noroozi Chakoli and Nourmohammadi (2007), although it was possible to index 34 types of documents in WOS, Iranian researchers published their papers in only 18 types between 1993 and 2007.
Considering these points, the top 20 subject areas which constituted the highest number of Iranian papers in WOS from 1993 to 2007 are presented in Tables 5, 6 and 7 by periods of 5 years in descending order.
Table 7 Iranian Papers in WOS (from 2003 to 2007), by Subject Area No, Subject Area, Number, Percentage 1, Chemistry, Multidisciplinary, 1967, 6.
Table 7 Iranian Papers in WOS (from 2003 to 2007), by Subject Area No, Subject Area, Number, Percentage 1, Chemistry, Multidisciplinary, 1967, 6.
Table 7 Iranian Papers in WOS (from 2003 to 2007), by Subject Area No, Subject Area, Number, Percentage 1, Chemistry, Multidisciplinary, 1967, 6.
