Abstract

 



Purpose: The present research was performed for exploring of scientific outputs of Shahed University medical sciences faculty members in Scopus citation database (2000-2011).
Methodology: Documentary and survey research methods a approach scientometrics were used. Findings were analyzed by descriptive statistics and Microsoft Excel software.
Findings: The results showed that only 32 persons (24%) of research population had indexed scientific documents in Scopus. Despite that general growth trend of scientific outputs is ascending, this trend isn’t regular and even in some years is descending. From the entire 279 indexed scientific outputs, 276 items are related to Faculty of Medicine, 7 items are of Faculty of Dentistry and 5 items are of Faculty of Nursing. "Journal article" is the most indexed document type. Faculty of Medicine, Faculty of Dentistry and Faculty of Nursing have had the most citations and H-Index respectively, but nursing faculty had the best performance in "citation per document" index. The subject area of "Medicine" (41.83%) had the highest share in the scientific outputs and the subject areas of "Dentistry" & "Nursing" (1.12% & 0.22%) had the least share. The outputs with 3, 4 and 5 authors had the highest share respectively. The highest scientific collaboration rate of research society was with Iranian especially Shahed University researchers. Among foreign researchers, Canadians had the highest share of scientific collaboration and among domestic researchers those at Tehran University of Medical Sciences had the most share of scientific collaboration with research society.
Conclusion: Scientific outputs of the members of the medical sciences faculties members of Shahed University and their scientific collaboration have had an ascending trend.
