Abstract: (5916 Views) |
Background and aim: The aim of this study was to evaluate the scientific outputs and map the co-authorship network of mathematics, physics and chemistry researchers of Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University (ASMU).
Material and methods: This applied study was conducted using scientometric method. The statistical population of the study was the indexed records
(2012-2018) in the field of chemistry, mathematics and physics of ASMU’s researchers in Web of Science (WoS). VOSviewer was used to draw scientific maps as well as T-test, analysis of variance and regression analysis were applied to answer the research hypotheses.
Findings: According to the findings, 57% of the scientific outputs of ASMU were published (2012-2018) by researchers in three fields of mathematics, chemistry and physics. The results indicated that the first ranks of scientific collaborations in the co-authorship network under the fields of mathematics, chemistry and physics were Sheikholeslami (160), Sardroodi (54) and Jamshidi-Ghaleh (47), respectively. Moreover, the most effective author of ASMU was Rezapour with 430 citations and 46 papers. The mean scientific outputs were significant in terms of academic rank (Sig=0.000) and gender (Sig=0.001).
Conclusion: The results have suggested that the researchers with the ability to produce more articles and scientific collaboration play an important role in the
co-authorship network. Further, it can be expected that the scientific outputs of faculty members will enhance with the increase of "employment year" and "academic rank". |
