Scientometric study on covid-19 has taken place to highlight the latest trend and situation of literature on covid-19. After the outbreak from Wuhan city, coronavirus spread over the world and that destroyed the whole health, mobility, livelihood and socio-economic management. To make a qualitative and quantitative investigation this scientometric study is eventuated. Thousands of research output are proliferating on this epidemic situation. During 18 months (2019 December-2021 May) WOS database indexed 1234 literature on covid-19 and related topics. Most of the publishers dropped their paywall and made it open access for more communication. To exact all secondary bibliographic data a string was created with a time span. For visualization and mapping, a .txt file has been downloaded from the WOS database. Some statistical formulas are adequate to calculate annual growth rate (AGR), author productivity, collaborative coefficient (CC). WOS viewers, MS Excel, QGIS, software also used for data representation. The outcome results are, the direction of literature growth map always upwards. In the top 10 journals and authors, ‘Medicine’ and ‘Wang J’ ranked top. Author collaboration was maximum (0.997) but more collaboration was required. China, India and the USA contributed the most with relevant research output. Covid-19 is near all subject disciplines, where medical science, environmental science, engineering and social science are gathered. It is hoped that this type of research outcome will help the government and society to manage and develop strategies for the future to prevent such natural disasters.

Safety and health are intricately interwoven and have become indispensable to the thriving business world and anthropology. It is concerned with ensuring employees’ physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Based on the Scopus and Web of Science databases, the current study intends to analyse the global research output on machine learning in safety and health. This study utilized ScientoPy and VOSviewer to delve into the annual growth, patterns of research communication on source titles, international collaboration among countries, and authors’ keyword analysis. This study found that the Web of Science database tracks the evolution of publications throughout time. PLoS One has surpassed all other source titles in terms of publishing activity. Also, this study indicated that US researchers are constantly working on machine learning in safety and health research and have developed significant collaborations with China and Australia. Between 2020 and 2021, the University of Toronto published 86% of all papers, outpacing other institutions. The keywords “machine learning”, “artificial intelligence”, “electronic health records”, “deep learning”, and “mental health” were the most popular and trending keywords in 2020 and 2021, and “artificial intelligence” appeared in most publications among others. Future researchers should conduct scoping or systematic literature reviews to elucidate the relationships between these terms. This study may entice the curiosity of practitioners and researchers to advance new knowledge in this field by being devoted to cutting-edge research in the contemporary philosophy of science, cognitive, and cultural anthropology on machine learning in safety and health research. In conclusion, this scientometric analysis demonstrates that machine learning in safety and health is a study domain that requires further refinement in future research, as this technology has the potential to significantly improve workplace safety and health through targeted applications with clear benefits.

This study evaluated the scientometrics indices of Iranian medical sciences journals indexed in Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed databases until 2020. The present study is a descriptive and practical survey which was done using scientometric methods. The source of data collection includes Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed databases. Excel statistical software was used to analyze the data, and net draw software was used to plot the graphs. A survey on Iranian medical journals' status revealed that the number of journals in all three databases has been growing. "General and Internal Medicine", "Health", and "Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmacy" are the subjects with the highest number of indexed journals in these databases. Furthermore, a qualitative review of indexed journals showed that more than 70% of Iranian journals have an impact factor of less than two. "International Journal of Health Policy and Management" of Kerman medical sciences university and "Bioimpacts" of Tabriz medical sciences university are the only medical journals with impact factors greater than 3 (5.007 and 3.831). Conclusions: Generally, despite the significant growth of indexed medical journals in recent years, most Iranian journals are not ranked among high-quality journals according to global indexing criteria.

Policymakers and experts should trust health studies. On the other hand, it should be considered by the general public. Altmetrics, as a new method, seeks to examine the social effects of researchers' scientific outputs along with citation analysis indices. The present study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the articles published by researchers in the field of waterpipe/cigarette smoking on the Web of Science database during 2010-2019. This paper is a descriptive-analytical study with a correlational approach in the citation analyses using the Altmetrics index. The statistical population consists of papers on waterpipe/cigarette smoking by Middle Eastern researchers during 2010-2019 published on the Web of Science. The data is extracted using the Altmetrics Bookmarklet and analyzed it by excel and SPSS.From the total number of scientific articles in the field of waterpipe/cigarette smoking by Middle Eastern researchers during the research period, 1,086 articles were indexed on the Web of Science, and only 2% of them had no Digital Object Identifiers (DOI) or PubMed Identifiers (PMID); on the contrary, 50% of the articles had Altmetrics scores. Among the social networks cited by the researchers of the Middle Eastern countries in the field of waterpipe/cigarette smoking, the shares of social networks, namely Dimensions, Mendeley, and Twitter, were the most. The most significant number of citations of the articles on Mendeley and Twitter belonged to U.S. and U.K. users. Also, medicine and dentistry had the highest number of Mendeley citations. The correlation coefficient between the altmetrics score and citation index was poor but significant (R=0.32, P <0.05). The publication of research papers on the social web (i.e., social networks) increases the visibility of the documents and makes them visible to a broad audience. This is effective in the future of citations of articles on citation databases. This further increases the qualitative performance indices of the papers by receiving more citations.https://dorl.net/dor/20.1001.1.20088302.2022.20.4.7.6

This study aimed to identify the effect of Altmetrics indicators of Mendeley resource management database on scientometric indicators in Scopus and Web of Science citation databases. The present study is an applied and descriptive research that has been done by scientometric method with Altmetrics approach. The statistical sample for the study includes Iranian researchers in the field of nursing who had an indexed document in the Scopus citation database, in the period 2000-2019 and on the date of the research (20/03/2020), and was also a member of the Mendeley resource management database. There were 158 high-profile authors introduced by Scopus. Findings illustrated that there is no significant relationship between the h-index in Scopus and the followers' index in Mendeley. However, there is a significant relationship between the other indicators studied in these two databases. There is also a significant relationship between co-authorship index, h-index, citations, readers, publications, and viewers in Mendeley scientific social network with indexes of citation number and h-index in the Web of Science citation database. But there is no significant relationship between the follower’s index and these indicators. Examining the relationship between the numbers of citations received in Mendeley, Scopus, and Web of Science shows that there is a significant relationship between the numbers of citations received in these databases. Respectively, the strongest correlation, in this case, is between the citation index received in the Mendeley and Web of Science database, Mendeley and Scopus, and finally Scopus and Web of science. There is also a significant relationship between the etch index in the Mendeley, Scopus, and Web of Science databases. The correlation between the Mendeley h-index and Web of Science is stronger than the correlation between the Mendeley h-index and Scopus.https://dorl.net/dor/20.1001.1.20088302.2022.20.3.12.9

The purpose of this study was to investigate the scientific outputs and co-authorship patterns of Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University in the fields of electrical, civil, and mechanical engineering, based on Web of Science (2000-2019). The paper relied on both quantitative and scientometric methods. 1870 and 291 records were retrieved respectively for "Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University" and "the fields of electrical, civil, and mechanical engineering". The questions and assumptions were answered through descriptive and inferential statistics. VOSviewer and SPSS were used respectively for mapping and testing assumptions. The findings showed that the total scientific outputs of electrical engineering in the world, indexed by the Web of Science (2000-2019) were 2,973,902, of which 44,768 records (1.6%) belonged to Iran (rank 16). During the same period, the total civil engineering records was 395,649, of which 11,876 records (3%) belong to Iran (rank 10). In addition, the total scientific outputs of mechanical engineering were 941,586, of which 25,263 records (2.7%) belonged to Iran (rank 12). The findings showed that in Iran Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University in electrical engineering is ranked 36th (2000-2019). The findings showed that Ajami with 43 (17%), Hoveidae with 5 (23%), Gharraei and Mohammadpourfard, each with 10 records (17%), were the top authors in the fields of electrical, civil, and mechanical engineering (2000-2019), respectively. Also, Ajami with 43 (1000 citations), Najafi with 42 (564 citations), Banaei with 41 records (473 citations), and Oskuee with 16 records (305 citations) have high co-authorship densities (37, 31, 22, and 29, respectively). Moreover, there was no meaningful difference between men and women in electrical, civil, and mechanical engineering in scientific outputs (Sig=0.0927). Furthermore, there was a significant difference in scientific outputs among electrical, civil, and mechanical engineering researchers in departments and university ranks.https://dorl.net/dor/20.1001.1.20088302.2022.20.2.11.6

This study accounts for the growth analysis of research output in the knowledge management (KM) domain in Africa, using the Web of Science database between 1974 and 2019. The implication that necessitates this study was the intertwined nature of the KM domain associated with other fields of study. The interpretive content/document analysis was used to extract publications using key terms of knowledge management from the Web of Science database within 45 years. The extract of the document analysis and the presentation of results took four weeks. The findings indicated that 2,564 publications such as articles, conference papers, reviews, and proceedings were the platforms used the most within the period. Management was at the top of the list of subject areas. A top journal that publishes KM papers is the South African Journal of Science. The most productive institutions by affiliation were the University of Cape Town and the University of Pretoria, and inter-continental collaboration in research in KM was affirmed with the United States of America (USA). The National Research Foundation of South Africa is among the top bodies that fund research in Africa. The growth analysis of publication output in KM in Africa indicates a slow productivity rate of 6.4 percent within the period covered. This paper demonstrates that the KM domain remains an evolving and interesting phenomenon, which requires integration in different organizations. Every actualization of work performance today by individuals depends on tacit and explicit knowledge application, which forms the spectrum of KM.https://dorl.net/dor/20.1001.1.20088302.2022.20.1.11.4

The present study examines the retracted articles from three OIC member countries (Iran, Turkey, and Egypt) in the Web of Science (WoS). All articles from Iran, Turkey, and Egypt, published in the journals indexed in the WoS and retracted due to scientific misconduct, consisted of the research population. This analytical survey examined the retracted articles regarding research areas, periods, cumulative citations, and names of collaborating authors and countries by country, discipline, and field via scientometrics. With 38%, Iran has the most retracted articles in various fields and scientific fields. Most of the retracted articles are related to basic sciences, medicine, and engineering, respectively. In the analysis of statistics, the publisher of retracted articles, in Iran, Turkey, and Egypt, we can name two countries, the United States and the United Kingdom, which are among the publishers with many publishing activities in all countries. Considering that the number of retracted articles globally has increased significantly, informing researchers and those involved in scientific journals and regular monitoring of citation performance of journals can prevent similar events in the future.https://dorl.net/dor/20.1001.1.20088302.2022.20.1.16.9

This study aimed at investigating scientific collaboration and analyzing co-authorship networks in pharmacology and pharmacy research studies in Iran. Data used for this scientometric study included all pharmacology and pharmacy documents of Iran, indexed in Web of Science (WOS) from 2003 to 2014 and were analyzed using citation analysis section of WOS and Excell and SPSS. Citespace, and Gephi softwares were used for visualization and analysis of co-authorship network. The dominant co-authorship pattern was four-author pattern, with collaboration index, degree of collaboration and collaboration coefficient of 4.49, 0.96 and 0.691 respectively. The obtained density for co-authorship network and the clustering coefficient mean were 0.3 and 0.306 respectively. Despite the fact that the collaboration index in the field of pharmacology and pharmacy was much greater compared to other fields, the networks' total average density signified a great sparseness of co-authorship network. The clustering coefficient mean indicated that the network members' tendency towards forming different clusters was relatively low. There was no meaningful relationship between collaboration index and the number of productions as well as collaboration index and the citation impact. Authors indicated a greater tendency towards co-authorship. It is recommended that senior officials in scientific communities pay more attention to scientific collaboration activities, allocation of budget and appropriate facilities, and providing suitable circumstance to encourage more collaboration. It is recommended also, researchers pay more attention to constant team working with colleagues and students.

A review on previous literature shows that there is a correlation between discussion and recommendation. Therefore, we aimed to assess the relationship between these two metrics in four systems (Scopus, Web of Science, PubMed Central, and CrossRef) simultaneously and separately. This was a descriptive correlational study on 90728 research articles published in seven biomedical journals in the PLOS system during 2009-2013. The sample size was calculated based on the Cochrane formula to be 1892 articles. For data collection, PLOS system was used which enables free access to the articles of important biomedical journals. This system includes 7 journals cited from 2003. Data were analyzed usingSPSSsoftware, version21. Inthis study, we found a negative and statistically significant correlation between discussion on Twitter and the citation-based systems. We found no correlation between discussion on Facebook and citation. On the other hand, we found a positive and statistically significant correlation between recommendation by F1000 and citation. We found that discussion on virtual networks and recommendation are two types of feedback in virtual environments. However, among the various systems, the F1000 and Wikipedia were able to provide significant feedback leading to citation.
