This study was designed to assess and compare the quantity and quality of Iranian and Turkish researchers working in the field of Parasitology from bibliometric point of view.
To assess the contributions and achievements of the Iranian and Turkish parasitologists, bibliometric analysis was carried out based on the citation data retrieved from Web of Science.
The absolute productivity of Turkish and Iranian parasitologists' papers has almost tripled for Turkey, from 12 papers in 2002 to 36 papers in 2011, and decuple for Iran, from 10 papers to 123 from 2002 to 2010. The average number of citation per article is about 5.8 and 4 for Turkish and Iranian parasitologists' papers, respectively. The "Veterinary Parasitology" journal was the most cited journal in both countries. The majority (more than 90%) of cited items was foreign journal articles and one half of all references in journals articles dated 11 and 12 years while one half of cited books was dated within 14 to16 years for Turkish and Iranian papers, respectively.
Based on observed data and applied model, it is anticipated that the total number of Iranian and Turkish parasitologists' publications in Web of Science will exceed of 2512 and 240 articles per annum for Iranian and Turkish in 2020, respectively.
本研究旨在从文献计量学角度评估和比较在寄生虫学领域工作的伊朗和土耳其研究人员的数量与质量。
为评估伊朗和土耳其寄生虫学家的贡献与成就，基于从科学网检索到的引文数据进行文献计量分析。
土耳其和伊朗寄生虫学家论文的绝对产出量，土耳其几乎增长了两倍，从2002年的12篇增至2011年的36篇；伊朗增长了九倍，从2002年的10篇增至2010年的123篇。土耳其和伊朗寄生虫学家论文的每篇平均被引次数分别约为5.8次和4次。“《兽医寄生虫学》”期刊在两国都是被引次数最多的期刊。被引文献的大多数（超过90%）是国外期刊文章，期刊文章中所有参考文献的一半在11年和12年，而土耳其和伊朗论文被引书籍的一半分别在14至16年之内。
基于观察数据和应用模型，预计到2020年，伊朗和土耳其寄生虫学家在科学网的年发表总数将分别超过2512篇和240篇。
