Kharazmi University Scientific Publications and Co-authorship Networks in Web of Science (1994-2020)
Kharazmi University
Abstract: (4299 Views)
Background: The performance and collaboration of universities could be measured through scientific publications and scientometrics indicators. The purpose is to describe state of scientific publications at Kharazmi University and determine the important players of the Co-authorship networks at this University in three levels: Researchers, organizations and countries - in the web of science from 1994 to 2020.
Method: This is a scientometrics study. Kharazmi University’s’ 4734 records from Web of Science both text and Excel format had been extracted. Data visualization was performed using VOSviewer and the GunnMap.
Finding: Results showed that Kharazmi University publications have received an average of 10.68 citations with H-index of 75. The five first subject areas are engineering, chemistry, physics, mathematics, and computer science. For scientific co-authorship among Iranian organizations, Islamic Azad, Tehran, Tarbiat Modares Universities; among foreign organizations, Putra University, Malaysia, California and Montreal; Among countries, United States, Canada and the United Kingdom are ranked first to third. Vatanpour, Majlesara Jahromi, and Divsalar are the top three researcher. Vatanpour is most effective researcher quantitatively and qualitatively. Fields of chemistry (organic and polymer / decomposition and application), biology, industrial engineering and engineering make main authors' of co-authorship network. Main players in the organization network are Iranian organizations, and more in Tehran. Although Kharazmi University cooperation with other countries is not acceptable, but the drawing of the co-authorship network of countries shows that cooperation is developing at the international level. Also, scientific co-authorship with Iranian organizations, especially foreign organizations, has increased the citation of Kharazmi University publication.
Conclusion: Kharazmi University publications had been growing significantly on the web of science database in recent years in term of quantity and quality. More scientific teamwork is suggested for Kharazmi University at the international level. Also, publication of topmost thesis and dissertations on the Web of Science should be considered.
