Introduction: With the significant expansion of research, we are witnessing the discrediting of some scientific outputs in the field of medicine. This study endeavored to investigate the dimensions and patterns of cooperation of internationally discredited works in the field of medicine in the Scopus database.Methods: This study is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of conducting research and data analysis, it is quantitative and has been done using bibliometric analysis method and scientometric approach and illustration techniques to draw scientific collaborations. The population is all the discredited medical works available from 2016 to the end of 2020 in the Scopus database which has been done using the network analysis method.Results: The findings showed that during the period, 480 works published in Scopus database were discredited. The Unites States, England, India, and China have the highest index of centrality, intimacy, and crosscontextuality. These countries play an important role in connecting nodes and transmitting information over the network.Conclusion: Discredited articles in the United States and England have high centrality indices, which indicates the greater influence and power of these countries, which, in turn, have a greater influence on other countries in the scientific network.

Introduction: This research investigates the articles' structure and thematic relationships in environmental health. Studying scientific outputs using scientometric indicators is an effective tool for understanding scientific research.Methods: The present research was conducted with a scientometric approach to content analysis of texts using the co-occurrence method of words and social network analysis. The statistical population includes 7438 articles indexed in the Web of Science Core Collection (WOSCC) in the field of environmental health in the period 2011-2020. Data analysis was done using cluster analysis method and strategic diagram.Results: The findings showed that in terms of the frequency of public health keywords, air pollution and climate change were the most frequent in environmental health researches. The findings related to hierarchical clustering led to the formation of 10 clusters in this area, and the clusters of "heavy metals" and "air pollution" were identified as clusters with high centrality and density.Conclusion: According to the abundance of keywords and clusters obtained from the strategic diagram, it was found that the topics of heavy metals and air pollution are emerging fields in this field. Some important issues related to environmental health, such as environmental health management, water quality management, etc., have received less attention.Keywords: Environmental Health, Thematic Clusters, Thematic Structure, Scientometrics, Co-Word Analysis.

Objectives: One of the scientometrics techniques and methods is the quantitative study of different sciences and drawing the scientific structure in different fields of science. The aim of this research is to Mapping the structure scientific of pharmaceutical sciences in the top 15 countries in the world during the covid-19 pandemic using Web Of ScienceMethods: The research was cross-sectional descriptive and was carried out using scientometric techniques. The research community included documents produced by 15 countries with the most scientific productions in the field of pharmaceutical sciences in 2021, whose number was 12,646 records in the science citation index. The drawing of the map of scientific structure is done by scientometrics software and is based on descriptive statistics.Results: The most scientific production in the studied area belonged to Wang Y. The most articles in the field of pharmaceutical sciences were published in the journal FRONTIERS IN PHARMACOLOGY in 2021, and the country of Iran ranked 10th in scientific production among the 15 most productive countries in the field of pharmaceutical sciences. The clusters of the scientific structure of the field of pharmaceutical sciences in the present study included 6 clusters, the keywords of Covid-19 and vaccine were placed in the largest cluster.Conclusion: The keywords of covid-19 and vaccine were among the keywords of the largest cluster of the present study and drug studies on animals were in the second cluster. These two clusters show the speed and importance of pharmaceutical studies in the field of vaccine development and fighting against the Covid-19 pandemic. Also, keywords such as behavior and habits show the importance of how people deal with this pandemic

Introduction: Determining the patterns of article publication and citation behavior of the faculties of Qazvin University of Medical Sciences is aimed in this study. Methods: 179 articles which were published in the period time of July 2008 to June 2010 with cooperation of at least one of the faculties of the University are studied with Scientometrics and citation analysis methods. Results: 66.3% of people who cooperated in compiling articles are assistant professors and 64.3% of them are men. 66.2% of them are employed in the faculty of Medicine. 15.6% of articles are indexed in ISI. 86% of them are researches and 2.8% of them are reviews. 16.9% of English articles are published in the Elsevier's journals. 86.2% of citations are related to journals' articles and 92.8% of them are in English. Half-time of citations is determined 9 years. Conclusion: 56.8% of faculties of the University are not cooperated in compiling any article in the study's period time, the share of cooperation of women, associate professors and instructors ,and employees of faculties of Nursing & Midwifery, Health & Allied Medicine, and Dentistry is below the expected value; so these actions are necessary to consider: 1) determining the causes of low cooperation of the mentioned groups and creating and promoting necessary motivations in them; 2) training what is ISI and why the publishing of articles in it is necessary; 3) training faculties to write reviews; and 4) subscription of at least a nine years period of English journals. Key words: Publishing; Publications; Article; Faculty; Universities; Scientometrics; Citation.

Introduction: One of the most important quantitative methods and research method in library and information sciences is scientometrics which has markedly developed over the last four decades. The purpose of this study was to map the structure of surgery discipline in Science Citation Index (SCI), during the period 2000 to 2010. Methods: This paper is descriptive - analytical and using scientometric techniques. The number of records is 83426. This study is based on bibliographic data retrieved from the Web of Science (gathering tools). The data contain all types of documents published in surgery between 2000 and 2010. The records are processed by HistCite, Pajek and VOSviewer in order to generate chronological and other tables as well as historiographs which highlight the most-cited works in and outside the collection. Results: USA had the greatest publishing, i.e. 24,533 (29.41%) documents; also, The status of research in Iran has been compared with other world and Middle East countries that Iran, with 0.34% rating is the 33rd in the world and the 3rd in the Middle East. Regarding their subject area, most of the articles, i.e. 34.85% documents, dealt with “surgery”. As for their source of publication, 14.68% articles had been published in the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM CARDIOLOGY. Conclusion: it is noteworthy that, In order to improve Surgery scientific publications of Iranian universities and research centers, appropriate policies should be developed while being continuously monitored by Iranian Ministry Science and Health and universities research policy makers. Also, surgery Scientists of our country should have paid more attention to the field of laparoscopy. Keywords: Scientometrics; Surgery; Databases
