Abstract

Purpose:This paper aims to investigate Iranian highly cited articles along with drawing and analyzing and discovering social networks and patterns as well.
Methodology: This research was done by the scientometrics approach. The population was included a total of 1475 articles by Web of Science database. In order to analyze data, some software included Histcite, Nodexel, and VOSviewer were used. So as to compare the journals’ quality, a list of journals in Journal Citation Reports was used and then analyzed by Excel software.
Findings: The findings showed that the number of scientific publications has increased in ascending growth. Moreover, the fields of engineering, chemistry, and mechanics were the dominant subject. Islamic Azad University, University of Tehran and, Tehran University of Medical Sciences have obtained the most prominent. The greatest collaborations were related to the University of South Korea and Virginia, Boston, and John Hopkins. Furthermore, Vanderbilt University, Washington, Valencia, Trieste, and Tennessee has achieved the highest and effective collaborations.
Conclusion: In order to increase the citation, Iranian researchers would be better to collaborate with the European authors. Collaboration with overseas researchers is effective in increasing citation, so it is recommended that at least one international researcher collaborates in each article.
