Abstract:   (37 Views)
Introduction:  The aim of the present study is to determine and map the co-authorship of scientific productions of researchers at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd, in the period from 1983 to 2024.
Methods: The present study is descriptive-cross-sectional and was conducted based on a quantitative scientometric approach. The research population includes all scientific productions of researchers at Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd in the Web of Science citation database between 1983 and 2024. To collect research data, the advanced search of the Web of Science database was used and the search was limited to the name of the university. Using the subject groups of the Web of Science database, articles in different fields were separated.
Results: The network density index is 64 percent, which indicates the relative cohesion of the network. The clustering coefficient value was 0.72, which indicates a relatively high tendency to form new clusters. The average distance index was 2.415; therefore, it can be claimed that the information transfer flow in this network is almost undesirable. The diameter of this network is 7, which indicates that the communication speed in this network is relatively undesirable.
Conclusion: In the Web of Science citation database evaluations, the current status of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences, Yazd is not observed under a single name or main organization of the unit. This has led to a sharp drop in the university's ranking in this database.
