Background
and Objective: One
of the most common ways of evaluating scientific researchers, and along with it
the evaluation of the universities, is the use of scientometric citation databases
methods. This quantitative and qualitative study aimed to evaluate the
prevalence of scientific researchers in the Web of Science (WOS) database
during a ten-year period from 2002 to 2011.
Materials
and Methods: This
descriptive study was conducted using scientometric methods. Sampling in this
study was a census method and for data collection Web of Science databases were
used. For articles published in the name of Rafsanjan University of Medical
Sciences (RUMS) the database WOS was searched over a ten-year period . SPSS version 16 statistical tests were used
for statistical analysis.
Results:
Total number of
scientific papers published in the ten-year period examined in this study was
200. The most scientific papers produced by the faculty of RUMS in the WOS
database consisted of the original articles and documents published in 2011
accounted for most of the data. Maximum number of citations to the articles (93
references) was related to the year 2003.
Conclusion:
RUMS in
scientific database of WOS in increasng, but considering the number of the faculty
members the scientific publication rate is not acceptable. Policies must be
adopted to train the teaching faculties of the university to engage in research
in their own fields.
