English abstract

This study's primary purpose was to investigate the Sharif University of Technology's scientific publications in the Web of Science and Scopus citation databases. The research data were analyzed using a scientometric approach by the HistCite and Excel software. The research population consists of scientific products indexed in the Scopus database on June 24, 2018, and in the Web of Science database on May 14, 2018, for ten years from 2008 to 2017. The research findings show that the number of researchers' productions in both databases has been increasing. The majority of articles published in the Web of Science database were in the subject areas of electrical and electronic engineering. Those published in the Scopus database were mostly in the field of engineering. With 335 documents and 17,220 citations, Akbar Jafari was the most productive and influential researcher at the Sharif University of Technology. Among the most cited authors, Hesam al-Din Arfa'i, with 4722 citations, was the most influential researcher in the period. Qualitative analysis of articles with Q index showed that 37.32 % of the conducted publications were published in the first (Q1) and second (Q2) quartiles, which indicates the publications' quality. Researchers have published more documents in high-impact journals, and publishing articles in high-ranked journals often makes it possible to take more citations. Note that 79 publications conducted with the scientific collaboration of 54 countries and 382 organizations were indexed in Web of Science as the Highly Cited Papers in 40 subject areas. Twenty out of 79 Highly Cited Papers were in the field of physical chemistry.
