Evaluation of scientific productions to attract, maintain, and promote faculty members is one of the necessary processes of academic societies and is of interest to policy makers in the field of higher education. This study aimed to provide a uniform and native framework for evaluating the scientific productions of researchers in the fields of science and health in Iran.
The current research used the single-stage fuzzy Delphi technique and AHP. The research community comprised 50 top scientific experts and researchers from the country. The data collection tool was a researcher-made checklist obtained from the review of literature and laws and regulations of Iranian universities and research institutions.
Data analysis led to the identification, prioritization and weighting of eleven criteria and 124 items for the intended framework, which are, respectively, author's authority (scientific leaders) (15 items); database used in calculating the index (3 items); Innovation and technological impact (18 items); Gaining rank in national and international festivals related to the specialized field (6 items); Citations (7 items); subject area (3 items); level of cooperation (15 items); Types of scientific productions (54 items); scientific age (3 items); Evaluating, refereeing and monitoring of research, technology and innovation activities (2 items) Author`s role and position (1 item).
The final framework obtained for evaluating Iranian researchers has 11 criteria and 124 items that can be used to compile an author-centered and native scientometrics index that leads to the same evaluation of health and science researchers.
对科研成果进行评估以吸引、留住和晋升教职员工是学术团体的必要流程之一，也是高等教育领域政策制定者所关注的。本研究旨在为评估伊朗科学与健康领域研究人员的科研成果提供一个统一的本土框架。
本研究采用单阶段模糊德尔菲技术和层次分析法。研究群体包括该国50位顶尖科学专家和研究人员。数据收集工具是一份研究者自制的清单，该清单来自对伊朗大学和研究机构的文献及法律法规的审查。
数据分析得出了预期框架的11项标准和124项指标，并对其进行了优先级排序和加权，分别为：作者权威性（科学领军人物）（15项）；计算指数时使用的数据库（3项）；创新与技术影响（18项）；在与专业领域相关的国家和国际节日中获得的排名（6项）；引用次数（7项）；学科领域（3项）；合作水平（15项）；科研成果类型（54项）；科研年龄（3项）；研究、技术和创新活动的评估、评审和监测（2项）；作者的角色和地位（1项）。
所获得的用于评估伊朗研究人员的最终框架有11项标准和124项指标，可用于编制一个以作者为中心的本土科学计量指标，从而对健康和科学研究人员进行同等评估。
