Introduction: 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.Methods: 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 JHIM in a ten-year period (2009-2018).Results: Isfahan University of Medical Sciences was the most prolific institution with the production of 236 articles. Over 94% of articles were published 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 themes of hospital 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.Conclusion: 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 works in 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.

Introduction: Assessing the quality of mobile websites related to libraries is one of the new topics of study. The primary purpose of this study was to evaluate the quality of the mobile websites of the libraries of the top Iranian universities of medical sciences.Methods: This was an applied research, done by the descriptive-survey method. The study population included the libraries’ mobile websites of the top fifty Iranian universities of medical sciences, which ranked highest in the webometrics ranking of universities in January 2019. The quality of services was evaluated using a checklist included fourteen indicators. Descriptive statistical methods and Friedman test were utilized for data analysis.Results: “Quick Access to Databases,” “Contact us,” and “Observing and Searching Library Catalog” with a mean rank of 10.01 had the best position among indicators. “Study Hall Reservation” with a mean rank of 3.01 and “Library Floors’ Map/Plan” with a mean rank of 3.99 had the worst situation among the fourteen indicators studied, respectively.Conclusion: The results showed that some indicators such as “Quick Access to Databases,” “Observing and Searching Library Catalog,” and “Library News and Events” were more useful than others. These are the indicators that users of libraries’ mobile websites usually need. Medical informatics administrators and designers at medical universities can use the results of this research to improve the quality of services of mobile websites of university libraries.
