Purpose: This study aims to study the social and behavioral sciences research outputs at Shahid Beheshti University using indicators of Scientometrics and Altmetrics during 2010-2020. In the current world, where research is considered a factor for increasing power, countries try to raise the quantity and quality of their research outputs. Scientometrics is a field of research that uses statistical and measurement methods to determine the growth and development criteria of science and help determine the position of countries quantitatively. On the other hand, the Web 2 revolution and the current advances in information technology have had a great impact on various scientific fields, and the possible benefits, and have changed the behavior of researchers. The wide level of access and widespread use of the web has made researchers use this space to share their works and increase the visibility of their research outputs, and tend to be more present in social networks and connect with the virtual world.
Methodology: The indexed research outputs in Scopus in the field of social and behavioral sciences were studied.
The current research was applied and was conducted with Scientometrics and Altmetrics approaches. Scopus, Scival, and Altmetric databases were used to gather data. The data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics tests in Excel and SPSS software.
The investigated community is all research outputs in the subject areas of social and behavioral sciences, including "subject areas of psychology", "economy, econometrics, and finance", "business, management and accounting", "social sciences", and "decision-making sciences", according to the category The subject of the Scopus database is Shahid Beheshti University in the years 2010 to 2020.
Findings: In terms of Field-weighted citation impact, the highly cited articles were in the top 10% threshold, the top journals were in the top 25% threshold, and the subject area of business, management, and accounting was located in the highest rank. The most used social media in all areas were Twitter and Mendeley. In terms of the number of tweets, the field of psychology with 599 tweets has the most mentions and 3079 mentions in Mendeley, in the first place, and economics, econometrics, and finance have the least mentions and signs with 14 tweets and 348 mentions. In the correlation section, the results of the Spearman test showed that the subject areas of psychology and decision-making sciences have a statistically significant relationship Between the number of citations index and the altmetric score.
Conclusion: The research outputs of Shahid Beheshti University in the subject areas of social sciences and behavior had an ascending process during 2010-2020. The reason for this can be the increase of students and researchers at different levels. It can be stated that by inserting a digital object identifier (DOI) for all the outputs, their effect will be investigable based on the Altmetrics indicators. Universities need to emphasize the quality of research outputs in addition to the quantity of these outputs and also considering the special research credit and credit for authors of articles in top journals can be a suitable solution to increase the quality of research outputs. The results of this research can be used for planning at the level of management, and various vice-chancellors in the university under review, and by knowing the priorities, abilities, and weaknesses, provide the necessary facilities to make scientific activities more targeted in the fields of social and behavioral sciences in the university under review. Finally, the findings of this research can help identify the scientific position of the desired university in the subject areas of social and behavioral sciences, as well as plan for the development of the university at the national and international levels.
