English abstract

This study aims to investigate and evaluate the scientific productions of Iran and the world in the field of seismology in the Web of Science database from 1970 to 2018, quantitatively and qualitatively. The present study was carried out, using a scientometric approach. This research is applied research that evaluates the quality and quantity of scientific products of the world and Iran in the field of seismology. The results showed that the number of scientific productions in the seismology field in the world is 114292 documents. The number of papers published by the Iranian researchers in this area was 3065 documents. Furthermore, the results showed that Iran is in the thirteenth position in the world and sixth position among other Asian countries. The total number of citations documents published by Iranians was 1963. The average citation per document was 6.25 and the H-index for Iran in this field is 51. The results showed that while Iran is an earthquake-prone country; the number of scientific research conducted by the Iranian researchers is low, in comparison to some countries that are not the earthquake-prone countries. Therefore, more attention should be paid to research and development in the field of seismology.
