In 2015, based on the number of scientific documents indexed in the web of science in Thomson Reuters, the number of Iranian scientific documents is 30897 (1.70% of the world value and rank of 18) in science, 1330 (0.47% of the world value and rank of 36) in social sciences, 89 (0.08% of the world value and rank of 50) in art and humanities and 31296 (1.51% of the world value and rank of 20) in total. Now it is five years (20112015) that the rank of Iran in the scientific documents production is 20 in the world. However, the rank of Iran has been improved from 48 in 2000 to 20 in 2011 gradually, and then did not change during the last five years. The USA, China and England were the ranks of one to three in the world due to their contributions of 27.7%, 14.6% and 7.1%, respectively, for scientific documents productions in 2015. The rank of Turkey was 18 due to its 1.72% contribution. University of Tehran, Tehran University of Medical Science, Amir Kabir University of Technology, Tarbiat Modares University and Sharif University of Technology, respectively, were five top governmental universities in 2015. Near to 18 per cents of scientific documents in 2015 are related to the all branches of Islamic Azad University. The subject of engineering (all branches) had 190574 scientific documents (9.2% of total scientific documents published in the world in 2015), which 7445 of them were published by Iran so that our contribution in engineering was 3.93% of the world. The ranks of Iran and Turkey were 9 and 15, respectively, for engineering in 2015. However, China, USA and South Korea were the ranks of one to three in the world due to their contributions of 26.41%, 17.70% and 5.15%, respectively, for engineering. The ranks of Iran for chemistry, mathematics, physics and biology were 12, 12, 15 and 24, respectively, in the world in 2015.

In this report we highlight the crucial importance of advanced and cutting edge basics and fundamental research in today in rapid advancement of technology. Technology production in the context of consumer goods such as smart mobile phone has extraordinary impacts on the daily life of every human being. This report attempts to negate the belief that a country or a nation can become industrial or technological limb without prioritizing and capitalizing and advanced basic and fundamental research. In highlighting the above negating belief, we have studied the roles of various fundamental research results that have helped, successfully, to design and develop smart mobile phone technology. To make the report short and concise we have included only those classes of basic research results that Nobel Prize committee have selected as the ground-breaking results in basic science, that leaving out thousands of other effective fundamental research results that have played critical roles in the final successful product.

Scientometrics is one of the most common methods of evaluating scientific and research activities. Scientometrc has many aspects such as production, promotion and use of scientific information and does not belong to the scope of a particular field. Many pioneers introduce the investigation of processes in scientific research as the more effective science management method. In this paper, in addition to conventional scientometrc indicators, new indexes will be also considered. For a closer examination of the scientific activities in each country, it would better to use the indigenous indicators. Here, the indigenous indicators such as Research Assessment Exercise and Research Excellence Framework in England, Crown Factor in Netherland and Citation Z Scores in Sweden were mentioned. Moreover, the Leiden Ranking, sponsored by Thomson Reuter’s database, will be introduced. The difference with the rest of the ranking system is to pay more attention to impact and collaboration aspects.

In 2014, based on the number of scientific documents indexed in the Thomson Reuters institute for scientific information (ISI), the number of Iranian scientific documents is 29429 (1.69% of the world value and rank of 18) in science, 1839 (0.68% of the world value and rank of 31) in social sciences, 117 (0.10% of the world value and rank of 48) in art and humanity sciences and 29812 (1.50% of the world value and rank of 20) in total. Now it is four years (2011-2014) that the rank of Iran in the scientific documents production is 20 in the world. The number of Iranian published scientific documents were 27134 and 28058 in 2012 and 2013, respectively, which show 3.4% grow in 2013 and 6.3% grow in 2014. University of Tehran, Tehran University of Medical Science, Amir Kabir University of Technology, Tarbiat Modares University and Sharif University of Technology, respectively, were five top governmental universities in 2014. Subjects of Engineering, Chemistry, Material, Physics and Mathematics had the most important role in science documents production. 18.5 percents of scientific documents in 2014 are related to the all branches of Islamic Azad University. Turkey is 1.67% scientific contribution and the rank of 17 in the world in 2014. United States of America (USA), Malaysia, Canada, Germany, England and Australia had the most cooperation in scientific contributions with Iran respectively.

In the last two decades, the knowledge production has been evaluated in our country quantitatively. On this base, the contribution of Iran for the knowledge production in the World has been improved from 0.02% in twenty years ago to 1.20% in the last year. Now, the quantitative of knowledge production has been a large measure to be enough for evaluating quantitatively. Evaluation of the quality of knowledge can be drawn in two points of view: Evaluation number and type of global citations to our country publications, and evaluation of journals which have been selected for publishing of our documents. In this article, a number of journals which have been selected for publishing of our documents were reviewed as well as invalid and less valid scientific journals were introduced. This article helps researchers and research programmers to improve the quality of knowledge in our country.
