Introduction: Due to the importance and status of the endocrine field in the health sector, facilitating information retrieval in this field seems to be important. This study endeavored to run topic modeling of articles published by Iranian researchers in the field of endocrinology and metabolism in the science citation database.Methods: This descriptive study was done by text mining method. In this study, abstracts of articles were extracted from the science citation database using selected keywords of Medical Subject Headings (MeSH). 5552 articles were retrieved from 1977 to 2019, then the text of abstracts was analyzed and categorized in MATLAB software.Results: Subject categories with 20 items were extracted in 48 categories. Diabetes with 7145 recurrences has been considered by Iranian researchers more than other topics. Subject category related to metabolic syndrome diseases had the highest number of articles (304 articles) and subject category No. 47 which was related to osteoporosis had the lowest number of articles (51 articles).Conclusion: Iranian researchers have done more research on metabolic syndrome and less research on osteoporosis. Topic categories including Dwarfism, Parathyroid Diseases, Pituitary Diseases, Gonadal Disorders, Polyendocrinopathies, and Autoimmune that did not exist in the topics resulting from topic modeling indicate a gap in the research of Iranian researchers, that emphasizes the need for more attention to these areas.

Introduction: Based on the fact that knowledge is not limited and scientific Exchanges help researchers to pursuit of new findings, this study aimed to determine citation rates of medical articles and books by faculty members of schools of Pharmacy in type 1 Universities of Medical Sciences in Iran, in text books at Amazon website, during 2000 to 2011. Method: This study was done using Citation analysis, a method performed by Scientometrics techniques. The study Population included 372 Text books indexed on Amazon website that have been published between 2000 to 2011.These books reference have been studied due to the citation to the scientific production of faculty members of school of pharmacy of Iranian universities type 1. Google Book search, a part of the Google search engine, was used as the data collection tool. Data analysis was done using (SPSS), version 18 Results: Citations to medical articles by schools of Pharmacy in type 1 Universities of Medical Sciences during the study period had an ascending trend, in which Tehran school of pharmacy (37.19) percent and Ahvaz school of pharmacy (1.03) percent had the highest and lowest growth, respectively. Most cited articles were original papers (89.6) percent and case reports ranked last with zero percent.Most cited articles were written by three authors (89.96) percent. Conclusion: The findings suggest that cooperation is the factor influencing to level of quality scientific papers and citations at the international level.Keywords: Analysis; Citation; Reference Books; Schools, Pharmacy.
