Sharing resources and facilities, leveraging each other's experiences, and enabling interdisciplinary research are the benefits of co-authorship. The aim of this study was to investigate the co-authorship status of the scientific productions by Afghan researchers to plan the expansion of collaboration and employment of these researchers in migration destination countries, especially Iran.

This quantitative study examined 2732 articles indexed in Scopus with at least one Afghan author from the beginning of indexing in Scopus to September 2021. Statistical methods and analysis of the co-authorship network were used to analyze the data, via Python 3 language and VOSviewer 1.6.17 and Gephi 0.9.2.

The most scientific outputs of Afghan researchers are devoted to the writings of the medical field with 40.41%. The next scientific fields with a large difference are social sciences (15.67%), biological sciences (11.16%), and engineering (10.94%), respectively. The co-authorship network of Afghan researchers and their colleagues consisted of 13,379 nodes (researchers) and 2,511,879 weighted edges (co-author relationships). Afghan researchers collaborated most frequently with researchers from the United States. Iran, despite its geographic and cultural proximity, ranks fourth among its colleagues. America is followed by England and India.

Co-authorship varies among researchers in different scientific fields. The median number of authors of each article in dentistry, biochemistry and other majors close to medicine and basic sciences was about three times that of theoretical majors such as social sciences, arts and humanities.

Co-authorship increases the possibility of visibility of articles and reflection of their findings in the research of others. The aim of the present study was to determine the number of authors and the number of citations of hot papers in the Science Citation Index Expanded (SCI-E) in the Web of Science (WOS).

This quantitative study was conducted using the scientometric approach. The research community consisted of 3,475 hot papers in the field of science in WOS from 2020 to 2021. The Spearman correlation coefficient test was used to examine the relationship between the citations of the articles and the number of authors. Data were collected and analyzed using BibExcel, Excel, and SPSS.

The hot papers showed a wide range, from one to 2718 authors. Moreover, a significant correlation was found between the number of authors and the number of citations of hot papers in the field of science (p= 0.000, n= 3475, r= 0.161). Therefore, statistically, there was a positive correlation between the two variables.

Higher scientific collaboration in hot articles increases the number of citations and ultimately increases the visibility of these articles.

The aim of this study was to determine the status of scientific productions of Jundi-Shapur University of Technology (JSUT) in Scopus database in order to provide the opportunity to increase the scientific productions of the university and improve its rank by determining its research performance and applying the necessary strategies.

The survey was conducted based on the scientometric approach using VOSviewer. The population included 308 scientific productions with affiliation JUST, indexed in the Scopus database from beginning to 2021. To collect data, the word "Dezful" was first searched in the Scopus database and then the results were limited to JSUT and the years considered. Excel and VOSviewer were used to collect and extract the data, which were analyzed using statistical methods and tests such as U Mann-Whitney.

The highest growth rate of JUST scientific productions was observed in 2008, 2010 and 2019 with 200, 150 and 100, respectively, and the average growth rate was 52.53. The predominant co-authorship pattern of JSUT researchers was the pattern of 3 authors, the collaboration degree was 0.961, and the collaboration index was 3.19. The most prolific author was Reza Nikandish (45 article in Scopus), the most cited authors were Mohammad Reza Assari and Alireza Keramat, the highest involvement in scientific products was associated with Amirkabir University, and the most scientific collaborations were with England. In addition, there was a significant difference between the proportion of women and men in the scientific production of JSUT (P-value = 0.013).

Although the trend of JUST’s scientific production and its citation rate has been accompanied by ups and downs, it has developed well in recent years. Moreover, it seems that its scientific collaborations with local and international researchers have been effective in increasing the number of articles and its citation rate.

Journals are one of the channels of scientific communication among experts in the specialized fields of human knowledge as well as a tools for the rapid and widespread dissemination of new research achievements. It is important for founders of scientific journals to explore if the publications of the journal meet the performance of academic journals interms of subjects and collaboration of resarchers. The aim of this study was to analyze the scientometrics of a decade of activity of the Medical Journal of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.

The method of this research was scientometric analysis. The statistical population of the study included articles published in Tabriz Medical Journal from 2010 to 2019, which are indexed in the Islamic World Science Citation Database (ISC). We analysed publications in Tabriz Medical Journal from 2010 to 2019. To collect the required data, the title of the journal was searched on the website of the Iranian Science Citation Index in the "Advanced Search" section by filtering the desired years. BibExcel, Ucinet, NetDraw and VOS-Weaver software were used for data analysis.

Seven hundred ninety-four articles written by 1947 authors were published in Tabriz Medical Journal. The authors' names were repeated a total of 3111 times in various articles. The average number of authors for each article was 3.92. The citation effect (average citation per article) was 0/36. Each article included an average of 21.56 citations. 31 of the 794 papers were single-author papers while 763 papers were published as scientific collaborations between two or more researchers. There were four authors in the co-authored template. The largest co-authorship network consisted of 92 authors. 2449 keywords were used to describe 794 articles. These keywords were repeated a total of 3118 times in various articles. The most common keywords included "children", "rat" and "polymorphism" with frequencies of 20, 19 and 17, respectively. Thematic clusters included "quality of life", "type 1 diabetes", "aerobic activity", "antibiotic resistance", "breast cancer", "type 2 diabetes", "cardiovascular disease", "drinking water" and "Stress and depression”.

The results of this study indicated the existence of a good status of scientific collaborations among authors based on the patterns of writing journal articles. All thematic clusters obtained were in compliance with the thematic axes or thematic specializations existing in the journal. The average citation per article was about 0/36 percent; thus, the status of the citation rate for the journal articles was not high enough. The index of journals in international databases has a positive effect on increasing the citation rate of journal articles. Therefore, it is suggested that new measures be taken to increase the visibility and impact factor of the journal.

Transgenic species are the ones whose genomes are genetically modified. The transgenic field is one of the areas that has a high importance and position in the world. Therefore, the aim of the present research is to draw and analyze the co-authorship network of researchers in transgenic subject area.

The type of this research is descriptive and was carried out using scientometric techniques such as co-authorship network and social network analysis indices. In this study, 23,456 articles by transgenic researchers indexed in the Web of Science database during the period 2010-2019 were retrieved. VOSviewer and UCINET software were used to draw the co-authorship map and analyze the network indicators.

The scientific cooperation network of transgenic researchers was studied and analyzed using macro and micro indicators of the social network. The status of macro indicators was not appropriate and the network was poorly cohesive. So that, the network density was 0.027, the clustering coefficient was 0.834, the diameter was 15 and the average distance was 4.155. In terms of micro-indicators, the status of researchers in the network was determined in such a way that David Ayares had the most cooperation with other members and also Nam-Hai Chua played the most important role in communicating with people from different clusters of the network, finally, Yan Zhang had the shortest distance with other members of the network.

Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the co-authorship network of transgenic researchers has low cohesion and information is transmitted among members at a low speed. With respect to this, status of different researchers in this study was determined, the results of this study can be used to guide future collaborations, and encourage universities and scientific institutes to develop their interactions with each other and further strengthen collaborations. It should also be noted that according to the findings of the study in this field, Iranian researchers were not identified as key individuals in this network, which requires research on the status and position of Iranian researchers in the field of transgenics.

Drawing the scientific maps in various fields through the study of scientific texts has always been the focus of many researchers. The purpose of this study was to investigate the research process and determine research interests in the field of brand and personal brand as well as analysis of scientometric indicators in this field based on scientific articles in the Web of Science (WoS) database.

This scientometric and applied study was conducted through the network analysis of co-authorship countries and co-occurrence words using the indicators of social network analysis. The research population was all articles on the brand and personal brand, indexed in the WoS during 1985-2020. The VOSviewer and Excel were used to analyze the data.

The results showed that scientific outputs in the field of the brand started in 1990 with 1 article. Most outputs were in 2020 with 101 articles. In the co-authorship network of countries, the United States was identified as the most influential country with 164 articles, and in the co-occurrence words, out of 2707 words, the most focus and co-occurrence was on the keywords "brand" and "behavior" with 74 co-occurrences and "impact" with 77 co-occurrences.

Studies in this field have a good network coherence, and word density map also confirms that researchers have been able to address a variety of topics in the field of the brand.

Brucellosis, as the most important and most common disease between humans and animals  (Zoonosis), in the field of emergence and recurrence of infectious diseases, has many damages and dangers. The control and eradication of the Brucellosis has always been considered by experts and articles and books have been published in the form of scientific collaborations. The study was to investigate the status of the "Co-authorship Social Network Centrality" in Brucellosis.

This research is applied research that was performed using scientometric methods with an analytical approach. All Brucellosis publications indexed on the WOSCC from 1901 to 2020 cover this article's statistical population. MeSH was used to identify keywords were used to analyze the data. Excel 2016, UCINET 6.528.0.0 and Netdraw software were used to analyze the data.

The publication trend of Bursellose territory was upward and the highest in 2019 with 398 articles. The "Journal of Clinical Microbiology" and "Blasco, Jose-Maria" were the most influential journals  and authors Impact Factor and h-index. "FERREIRA, F," "LETESSON, JJ" is in the first rank of the Degree of centrality and betweenness centrality of the Brucellosi, respectively. Five authors had the same centrality of closeness and the same chance in all citations.

Scientific collaboration is a complex phenomenon that improves the sharing of capabilities and new scientific knowledge. Examining coauthored social networks' characteristics could provide valuable information about the essential and influential author in the brucellosis network. Study of Social networking indicators coauthors could provide valuable information about important and influential people in the Brucellosis network. The results of the above analysis are a guide for experts and scientific centers in decision-making and policy-making of scientific collaborations and budget allocation.

The aim of this study was to examine the status of documents related to coronavirus based on scientometric indicators and to draw a co-authorship map of authors, organizations and countries producing an article to get to know this field as much as possible.

This applied-scientometric was conducted using social network analysis. The statistical population of this study was all published documents related to coronavirus from 1985 to 2019 in Web of Science (WoS), and finally, 6980 documents were retrieved. Then, VOSviewer was used to analyze and draw the co-authorship map.

Among the top authors in the field of coronavirus, “Christian Drosten” with 85 documents and 4835 citations, “Yuen Kwok-Yung” with 70 documents and 3862 citations as well as “Patrick CY Woo” with 49 documents and 3160 citations have achieved the first to third place in terms of the number of co-authorship in this field, respectively. Moreover, the top authors, countries and organizations in the field of coronavirus had 11, 9 and 12 thematic clusters, respectively.

In this study, the results of co-authorship network analysis on coronavirus allow researchers to learn about the relationships between important elements and identify key individuals, organizations and countries in this field. Besides, the results of this study can pave the way for cooperation and knowledge sharing among experts in this field with other scientific fields.

Applying bibliometric indicators, this study aims at investigating the status of Persian sports medicine research based on the records in the Islamic World Science Citation Database (ISC).

Material and Methods: 

This was a scientometric applied study in which the bibliometric techniques and social network analysis were used in conducting the investigations. The study population consisted of 1566 Persian articles published in the field of sports medicine indexed in ISC database until 2018. BibExcel, UCINet, Netdraw, and VOSviewer were among the software that were used for analyzing data and drawing maps in the study.

Initial analysis of the data showed that 1566 articles under study received a total of 266 citations, with an average of 0.17 citations per article, which is a very low level. “Sadeghi H”, “Alizadeh M”, and “Rajabi R” were considered to be the Iranian top researchers in the field of sports medicine in terms of the number of articles. “Ebrahimi Takamjani E” owned the best position in the network. Finally, the results uncovered that 8 thematic clusters were formed in sports medicine research.

The results showed a relatively steady growth in the number of sports medicine articles indexed in ISC in 2010s. Moreover, according to the authorship patterns, it seems that sports medicine researchers are very interested in participatory activities. Moreover, given the subject clusters of co-word analysis, research in this field seems to cover a wide range of topics.

Proper planning to increase the scientific collaboration of Iranian nursing specialists with the global scientific network in their field can improve the level of this field of healthcare in this country. Therefore, it can upgrade the quality and quantity of nursing services. In this regard, this study aimed to identify the effective factors and barriers to international scientific collaboration from the viewpoint of Nursing Faculty Members.

The present applied research was conducted based on a descriptive survey (cross-sectional) design during the spring and summer of 2020. Statistical population of the study included 249 nursing faculty members whose names are listed in the Iranian Scientometric Information Database. The data were collected through self-report questionnaires with three sections, nine subsections, and 91 items. It should be mentioned that the validity and reliability of the questionnaire were investigated by experts and Chronbach alpha, respectively. The collected data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and statistical tests in SPSS software (version 21).

Based on the findings, "communicational factors" and "process-structure factors" with mean scores of 4.03 and 3.87 were the most important barrier and effective incentive (effective factor), respectively, regarding the international scientific collaboration of university members. Moreover, the components of “lack of scientific communication channels to contact foreign researchers and colleagues" and "compatibility between faculty members regarding issues, such as working and writing style" with mean scores of 4.13 and 3.98 were the most important barriers and influencing factors, respectively.

Undoubtedly, the development of scientific, educational, and research exchanges between Iranian nursing specialists and their foreign counterparts will lead to scientific progress and development in their field. Therefore, they will be able to provide higher levels of health and nursing services within the health system of our country. Consequently, the faculties, universities, and at the top of them, the Ministry of Health and Medical Education are recommended to develop plans and policies to strengthen effective factors and remove obstacles and challenges.

In recent years, journals and quarterly journals have placed a great emphasis on increasing scientific collaboration in articles. Therefore, in this paper, the analysis of social networks was used to determine the co-authorship structure between researchers and drawing keyword co-occurrence network in the Journal of Public Management Research of Sistan and Baluchestan University.

This applied study was done by using a scientometric method. The statistical population of the study was 310 articles indexed in the Journal of Public Management Research from 2015 to 2019, collected using Publish or perish software and RIS addressing. The VOSviewer was used to draw co-authorship patterns as well as Excel and SPSS were applied to answer the research hypotheses.

The analysis of the co-authorship pattern suggested that each article had 3.2 authors in this Journal. Moreover, the most prolific authors in this Journal according to the co-authorship network due to the number of articles and collaborations were: Adel Azar, Noor Mohammad Yaghoubi, Fariborz Rahimnia, and Abdolmajid Imani. An examination of the Keyword Co-Occurrence network showed that the issues such as knowledge management (15), entrepreneurship (10), organizational citizenship behavior (9) and organizational commitment (8) were the most important subjects. Besides, the evaluation of the difference between men and women showed that with a t-value of 7.379 (p = 0.000), there was a significant difference between women and men in writing articles.

The analysis of the co-occurrence density map indicated that the topics of the papers were aligned with the new topics of management. Furthermore, the results demonstrated the high level of group participation in this journal.

Today, one of the most important methods of scientific evaluation is scientometric studies. The results of these studies can be seen as a roadmap for research planners and policymakers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the scientometrics of the Journal of Applied Research of Sport Management (JARSM).

In this applied and scientometric study, all articles of the JARSM from 2012 to 2018 were analyzed. The data were collected through the journal's website and analyzed using Excel and NodeXL.

Of the 279 articles published in the JARSM, 93% were multi-author publications and more than 31% were published in collaboration with scholars from Payame Noor University. This indicates the great interest of this journal in group collaboration as well as the publication of articles affiliated to their own university. Moreover, the thematic areas of sport management, organizational behavior and sport marketing have received more attention. Tehran and West Azerbaijan Provinces had the highest number of papers in JARSM. In addition, the journal has received the most impact from the Journal of Sport Management and Development, and has made the most scientific impact on the Journal of Sport Management.

Overall, the results show that the publication trend in the JARSM is sinusoidal, and its citation rate has been accompanied by a downward trend after a period of an upward one.

Recognizing the current situation and comparing research activities on various topics has made it important today to evaluate research activities using scientometrics techniques. The purpose of this study was to conduct co-word and co-authorship analysis of the articles published in the Journal of Health Information Management (JHIM) from 2009 to 2018.

The data for this study were extracted from Islamic World Science Citation Center(ISC). The statistical population of the study consisted of 807 articles published in the JHIMin a ten-year period (2009-2018).

Isfahan University of Medical Sciences was the most prolific institution with the production of 236 articles. Over 94% of articles werepublished collaboratively. Mohammad Hossein Yarmohammadian had the highest scores in terms of centrality indicators. The keyword "hospitals" was the most frequently used keywords in the JHIM. Hierarchical clustering indicated seven clusters with the themesofhospital services and performance, knowledge management in universities, hospital information systems, quantitative measurement studies of health information, health Indicators, health information management and technology, and quality of health care in hospitals.

The scientific collaboration approach among authors has been relatively good at producing scientific works. However, there are several authors with a limited number of articles. There are also a small number of core institutions and universities in producing scientific worksin the field of health information management. With the exception of the knowledge management cluster at the universities, all the obtained clusters are aligned with the journal's thematic axes.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the scientific outputs and map the co-authorship network of mathematics, physics and chemistry researchers of Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University (ASMU).

This applied study was conducted using scientometric method. The statistical population of the study was the indexed records
(2012-2018) in the field of chemistry, mathematics and physics of ASMU’s researchers in Web of Science (WoS). VOSviewer was used to draw scientific maps as well as T-test, analysis of variance and regression analysis were applied to answer the research hypotheses.

According to the findings, 57% of the scientific outputs of ASMU were published (2012-2018) by researchers in three fields of mathematics, chemistry and physics. The results indicated that the first ranks of scientific collaborations in the co-authorship network under the fields of mathematics, chemistry and physics were Sheikholeslami (160), Sardroodi (54) and Jamshidi-Ghaleh (47), respectively. Moreover, the most effective author of ASMU was Rezapour with 430 citations and 46 papers. The mean scientific outputs were significant in terms of academic rank (Sig=0.000) and gender (Sig=0.001).

The results have suggested that the researchers with the ability to produce more articles and scientific collaboration play an important role in the
co-authorship network. Further, it can be expected that the scientific outputs of faculty members will enhance with the increase of "employment year" and "academic rank".

Scientific productions can be studied from a variety of dimensions one of the most common of which is the drawing of scientific maps that can provide a clearer and more comprehensive view of the required analyses. The aim of this study was to draw and analyze the thematic map and co-authorship network of the articles of the Journal of Research on Addiction.

This descriptive-analytical study was performed based on a scientometric approach using co-word and network analysis. The research population was all articles of the Journal of Research on Addiction from 2005 to 2018. RavarMatrix, UCINET and NetDraw were used to analyze the data.

Data analysis showed that 463 articles were published in this Journal in 2005-2007. The analysis of co-word map of the articles published in the Journal of Research on Addiction indicated that subjects such as addiction, addict, drug abuse, attitude, dependence, craving, women, depression, addiction preparation, mental health, quality of life, students and self-efficacy were among the most important issues. Moreover, drawing and analyzing the co-authorship network of these papers illustrated six clusters. The study of centrality indicators represented that Mohammad Khani, Mohammadifar and Najafi are the most important authors.

The co-word map suggested that the thematic approach was more psychological than medical. Therefore, it is necessary to determine various thematic ranges for this Journal and to consider other types of addiction.

One of the most common methods for assessing the academic activities in a university is the scientometrics that is performed by using citation databases. The present study examined the amount of scientific publications and the co-authorship of the researchers of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences based on scientific articles indexed in the Scopus citation database. This study is a scientometrics research. The statistical population includes the total scientific output of faculty members of Hamadan University of Medical Sciences in the Scopus databases during 2010-2015. The data are collected through a search on the Scopus citation database and the CiteSpace software has been used to drawing a co-authorship map. Scientific outputs and citations of researchers have grown well in the last five years, but the value of h-index is not in desirable proportions in comparison to the increasing citations. The results of m-index showed that the members who have just begun their academic activity in terms of scientific production have been more active than other members with a history. Compared to other colleges, health and medical schools have the highest number of co-authorship and overall, co-authorship has grown well (Average cooperation coefficient = 0.39) during the years of study. According to the low amount of participation, we suggest to create a framework for the wider participation between researchers, linking key authors with the other scholars and attracting young researchers.

Digital libraries have been attracted by many countries around the world in recent years, and many scientific outputs regarding to digital libraries have been published. The aim of this study was to analyze the scientific papers of the world in the field of digital libraries based on quantitative and qualitative indicators with focus on Iran's rank.
This descriptive-analytical study with a scientometric approach was evaluated 5637 papers indexed in Web of Science (WoS) by the end of 2016. The HistCite software was used for data analysis and VOSviewer software was applied for drawing the maps related to thematic and co-authorship analysis.
The result indicates that the scientific papers of the world have had an increasing trend in this field. H-index of articles was 93 and 18 in the world and Middle East countries, respectively. The United States of America (USA) had the highest number of articles (2221) with h-index 81. Iran had h-index 7. It was found that single-authored paper had the highest frequency among global papers. Scientific collaborative coefficient was 0.44 and 0.54 for global and Iranian researchers during 35 years, respectively.
The research results suggest that most scientific articles of digital libraries have been published by several countries, with the USA topping the list. In the Middle East, Iran has the largest share in science production with 41 articles.

Scientific collaboration is a process in which two or more authors share their resources and talents in order to create a common work. The aim of this study was to investigate the co-authorship status of the Journal of Family Research of Shahid Beheshti University.
The scientometric methods were used in the current study. The population included all articles from the Journal of Family Research of Shahid Beheshti University from 2005 to 2016. Totally, 320 articles and 911 authors were investigated, and the data were analyzed using Excel and SPSS.
The findings of the study showed that each article of this Journal had 2.8% authors in the period of the study. It was also found that the average
co-authorship rate in articles of the Journal of Family Research was 0.60% during these years. Moreover, the highest number of authors in the articles was allocated to the universities of Shahid Beheshti, Isfahan and Tehran, respectively. In total, the average number of authors in the articles of the Journal of Family Research was three.
The scientific co-authorship rate was low in the Journal of Family Research.
