Background and aim:The present research aims to draw and analyze the scientific collaboration network in the field of cultural heritage protection based on the data retrieved from the AATA database from 1800 to 2020. Materials and methods:This is a descriptive and applied research which was conducted with a scientometric approach. The research community includes all articles indexed in the AATA database from 1800 to 2020. Articles were reviewed in terms of micro and macro network parameters. Vosviewer, Microsoft Excel, Ucinet and Ravar PreMap were used to analyze the research data. Findings:The mean growth rate of articles is 14.12% and the doubling time of studies is 4.96 years. The mean growth rate of authors is 16.97% and the doubling time of researchers is 4.12 years. Based on macro network parameters, network density is 0.001, network cohesion is 0.186 and network diameter is 24. Single-author researches are decreasing and the collaboration of authors in researches is increasing. Collaboration index, collaboration degree and collaboration coefficient have increased and reached 3.93, 0.79 and 0.57, respectively, in 2020. Conclusion:Examining the macro parameters of the co-authorship network in this field shows the low cohesion of the authorship network and according to the values of network diameter and the average distance, the distribution of information in this network is unfavorable, and chemistry researchers with high betweenness centrality have more influence than other researchers in the field of cultural heritage protection.
