English abstract

Introduction: Gastrointestinal (GI) cancer is one of the most common and fatal type of cancers and it is responsible for about half of mortalities from cancer (44.4%) in Iran. Regarding the considerable prevalence of GI cancers in Iran and the world and its impact on patients and society the necessity toward scientific investigations seems to be highlighted. Methods: A cross- sectional descriptive survey was conducted using Scientometrics criteria. Data were collected from two Medline and Scopus databases as search ground. To extract data from the advanced search link in Scopus database, the researcher made searching strategy designed to include all of “GI cancer-related” keywords was used. Keywords included 17 terms combined with 9 keywords about malignancy, tumor and cancer. Ultimately, we formed 153 different keywords. The search strategy in Medline database was designed based on Medical Subject headings (MeSH) via a subject specialist (medical specialist) help. Then, data was transferred to the check list in Microsoft Excel software and analyzed afterward. Findings: analyzed data showed that 1826 documents in terms of GI cancer written by Iranian researchers were indexed in Scopus and 468 in Medline databases. Regarding the subject matter, Iran’s ranking was 30 in the Scopus, 31 in Medline, 10 within Asian countries, and 3 in Middle-east. Tehran University of Medical Sciences with production of 35.17 percent of documents in Scopus database and 27.35 percent of documents in the Medline database was identified as most active centers in this field .In both of these databases, “Asian Pacific Journal of Cancer Prevention” includes most Iranian documents in this field. Conclusions: The study suggested a linear increase of scientific production about GI cancers in both databases during study time.
