Abstract

Background: The purpose of this research is to investigate the current status of articles of Iranian universities and institutions in the field of vaccine in the ISI Web of Science international citation database based on quantitative and qualitative scientometric indicators.

Methods: In this study, scientometric methods and citation analysis were used.

Results: The findings of the research show that 1781 articles with at least one author's organizational affiliation related to Iranian universities and institutions are indexed in this database. Razi Vaccine and Serum Research Institute is the most cited with an average of 12.88 citations per article and also has the lowest author self-citation among universities and institutions with 2.5%. Iranian writers had the most co-authorship and international collaboration with their counterparts from the United States, Germany and England, respectively.

Conclusion: Because most Iranian articles are published in Q3 and Q4 journals with a low impact factor, the average citation of Iranian articles in the field of vaccine is much lower than the global average and the average of other countries. In terms of co-authoring and international collaboration, Iranian researchers, same as other countries, have collaborated the most with their counterparts from America, Germany, England and Canada.
