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. Read More Read Less

The present study is a scientometric study of the topic “Jaundice” literature published by SAARC countries from the year 1999 to 2003. The main aim of the study is to show the authorship and collaboration pattern by using different scientometric tools. For the purpose of the study Web of Science database was used to collect bibliographic data. A total of 1048 papers was found. Indicators such as Degree of collaboration, Collaborative Index, Modified collaborative co-efficient, Collaboration co-efficient and Activity Index are applied to the collected data. From the study, it was found that a total of 1027 (98%) publications was published in co-authorship whereas only 21(2%) in single authorship. The highest collaborative effort has been observed among the single authors (146.78). Multipleauthored papers were found to receive more citations than that of single-authored papers.
