Abstract

BACKGROUND

In recent years, international ranking systems have been used by diverse users for various purposes. In most of these rankings, different aspects of performance of universities and research institutes, especially scientific performance, have been evaluated and ranked. In this article, we aimed to report the results of research ranking of Iranian universities of medical sciences (UMSs) based on some international indicators in 2015.

METHODS

In this study, after reviewing the research indicators of the majority of international ranking systems, with the participation of key stakeholders, we selected eight research indicators, namely research output, high-quality publications, leadership, total citations, citations per paper in 2015, papers per faculty member and h-index. The main sources for data gathering were Scopus, PubMed, and ISI, Web of Science. Data were extracted and normalized for Iranian governmental UMSs for 2015.

RESULTS

A total of 18023 articles were indexed in 2015 in Scopus with affiliations of UMSs affiliation. Almost 17% of all articles were published in top journals and 15% were published with international collaborations. The maximum h-index (h-index = 110) belonged to Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The average paper per faculty member was 1.14 (Max = 2.5, Min = 0.13). The mean citation per published articles in Scopus was 0.33.

CONCLUSION

Research ranking of Iranian UMSs can create favorable competition among them towards knowledge production.

摘要

背景

近年来，国际排名系统被不同用户用于各种目的。在大多数此类排名中，对大学和研究机构的不同表现方面，尤其是科研表现，进行了评估和排名。在本文中，我们旨在报告基于2015年一些国际指标对伊朗医科大学（UMSs）进行的研究排名结果。

方法

在本研究中，在回顾了大多数国际排名系统的研究指标后，在关键利益相关者的参与下，我们选择了八个研究指标，即研究产出、高质量出版物、领导力、总被引频次、2015年每篇论文的被引频次、每位教职员工的论文数和h指数。数据收集的主要来源是Scopus、PubMed和ISI（科学引文索引）、Web of Science。对2015年伊朗政府所属医科大学的数据进行了提取和标准化处理。

结果

2015年共有18023篇文章被Scopus收录，其机构隶属为伊朗医科大学。所有文章中近17%发表在顶级期刊上，15%是国际合作发表的。最高h指数（h指数 = 110）属于德黑兰医科大学。每位教职员工的平均论文数为1.14（最大值 = 2.5，最小值 = 0.13）。Scopus中每篇已发表文章的平均被引频次为0.33。
