The drying up of Urmia Lake is one of the main concerns of the academic community, environmentalists and publics, especially the inhabitants of Urmia Lake basin. The drying up of this lake has many economic, social, environmental and health consequences, In this research, all papers on the drying up of Urmia Lake in Persian language which were published in domestic journals were examined and analyzed from the scientometric perspective. So, common tools in scientometrics as well as the data collected from Islamic World Science Citation database were used. Results showed that between 1379 and 1401, a total of 998 researchers have published 1005 papers on the subject of Lake Urmia. Meanwhile, Javad Bahmanesh from Urmia University was the most prolific author with 28 papers (2.79% of all papers). Furthermore, Urmia University with 250 papers and University of Tabriz with 162 papers were the most prolific universities that have published papers on the Urmia Lake topics. This shows that the drying up of Urmia Lake has been one of the most important concerns of Azerbaijani universities on both the western and eastern shores of Urmia Lake. Water Resources Research Journal, which is published by the Iranian water resources association in Persian, has published the highest number of papers in the subject area of Urmia Lake with 39 articles.

The present study measures the research productivity of library and Information science departments in the Middle East. Data were collected from 16 countries whose LIS departments had at least one article indexed in Clarivate Analytics Web of Science between 2014 and 2018. Journals’ Citation Report was also used to collect further data. In measuring research productivity, the number of departments’ articles indexed in the Web of Science database and the size of each department (number of faculties) is considered as output and input, respectively. Findings indicated that Bar Ilan University had the highest research productivity (3.7), followed by Shiraz University (1.17) and Hacettepe University (1.04). Regarding LIS Department Research productivity, Israel, Turkey, Jordan, Kuwait, and Iran ranked first to fifth. The results of this research can contribute to identifying highly productive and influential departments and lay the groundwork for a well-oriented scientific policy and cooperation.

Infectious Diseases are among the diseases involved in public health and a high percentage of causes of death worldwide are attributed to these diseases. The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of highly cited articles in the field of infectious diseases based on bibliometrics and Altmetrics indicators.

This descriptive-analytical research was applied research that has been done using bibliometrics and Altmetrics methods. The research population included 687 highly cited articles indexed on the Web of Science (WOS) database between 2010-2020. Web of Science database and Bookmarklet tool was used for data collection and VOSviewer, Excel, and SPSS software were used for data analysis.

The production process of highly cited articles have had an upward trend. The highest publication rate was in 2020 and the lowest in 2010. The United States published the largest number of articles with 49%, and Lisa Maragakis and Deborah Yokoe were among the most prolific writers. The Lancet Infectious Diseases Magazine and the Center Disease Control Prevention Institute have contributed the most to the publication of articles citing infectious diseases. Vocabulary: COVID 19, epidemiology, disease, mortality, and infection were the most widely used terms in the field of infectious diseases. Mendeley and Twitter were also among the most important social media sites that cited highly cited articles.

The results showed that there is a significant relationship between Altmetrics indices and the number of citations. Also, by identifying the characteristics of highly cited articles in the field of infectious diseases, an attempt has been made to provide a clear view of the top authors, countries, institutions, and journals, and of course, researchers can use the hot and emerging topics identified in this research in future research.
