  abstract = {Scientific output of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) has been decreased and increased during recent years as reflected in Scopus database. A total number of articles under TUMS affiliations reviewed and analyzed, then compared with other universities. The results showed that the number of publications of most universities in Plos One, a multidisciplinary and peer-reviewed journal, dramatically increased. The purpose of this paper is to
conduct a scientometric analysis of the body of literature contained in Plos One, a peer-reviewed journal, to advance our understanding of the body of knowledge in this journal. However, Plos One journal publishes a large number of articles in different fields, e.g. Clinical Medicine (almost, 54000) and expected to grow in the future. Researchers need to
become aware of and use knowledge of journals that might tend to accept more papers. A number of articles published in this journal was carefully reviewed and subjected to scientometric data analysis techniques. The most influential articles were selected and their cited and citing works were scientometrically analyzed.},
