Aim: Nursing is an important area in medical sciences whose developments can influence health care. One of the development indices in every field or profession is its scientific productions published in international journals. So, this study intends to investigate Iran’s Nursing articles from 2000 to 2016.
This research has been conducted by scientometrics approach. Research population includes all Iranian articles in nursing area indexed in Web of Science from 2000 to 2016 indexed in Web of Science in terms of number, productive and influential authors, international co-authorship, and subject world cloud and so on. For data analysis, a combination of bibliometric software, including NetRaw, BibExel and Cities are applied.
Findings revealed that during 2000-2016, Iran’s nursing studies have a growing trend. Ahmadi F, with 44 articles and h-index of 12, is the most productive and influential scientist in Iran’s Nursing studies. Iranian Nursing authors have many collaborative articles with their counterparts in USA, Australia, and Sweden, respectively. Moreover, qualitative research is the major research methodology within nursing studies. “Anxiety”, “Children”, “Breast Cancer”, and “Cancer” are the most frequent keywords in Iranian nursing studies.
The growth of nursing scientific productions is an indicative of the importance of this subject area in health care services; but, there is no balanced growth in various subjects. Meanwhile, the tendency of Iranian Nursing research is toward qualitative research which is due to the nature of the nurse-patient interactionism

The aim of this study was to evaluate text mining and clustering of computer engineering documents retrieved from the Web of Science database. This is a descriptive-analytical study which was conducted in a survey method using text mining approach. The research community was all computer engineering documents indexed in the Web of Science, among which 6016 cases were reported between 2004 and 2016. The collected data were analyzed by HistCite software, Excel version 2013 and RapidMiner version 7.3.

Moreover، the average of annual growth rate of immediacy index was -10. 1. The results showed that Iran has had increasing and decreasing trends in the field of microbiology in terms of quantitative and scientometric qualitative indicators in recent years.

Due to the overlap between the databases of the subject and content, resulting in the purchase of duplication and waste of resources, in this study, the degree of overlap between respiratory system papers indexed in the database, Scopus and Web of Science during the years 2001 to 2010 were examined. In this survey study, researcher followed by obtaining percent overlap in the articles related to respiratory system field from 2001 to 2010. At first sub-headings contained in the following subject headings from medical thesaurus of (Mesh 2012) extracted and then each keyword in title of articles in both database search and articles were retrieved. Then bibliographic information of these articles enter into EndNote version X3 (Thomson Reuters Inc., New York, NY, USA) and then in alphabetical order title arranged and as a result, common articles between the two databases and unique articles to each site was determined. Using SPSS software version 0.1.0.8 amount of the relative overlap and traditional overlap between the two databases was calculated and the results by using descriptive statistics to determine and were presented in tables. In total 18099 articles were retrieved. That number of 9768 common articles, there were 7225 articles uniquely Scopus and 1106 articles from Web of Science. Amount of percent traditional overlap 53.97% and the overlap percent Web of Science with Scopus was 57.48% and Scopus with Web of Science was 89.83%. Because of overlaping the contents of two information databases such as scopus and web of sciences searching for accessing to respiratory system from scopus is better due to containing unique papers, However it is highly recommended to pay to this point while buying and sharing the mentioned resources.

Nowadays, scientific publications indexed in prestigious databases such as ISI Web of Science (WOS) is one of the important criteria for evaluating and ranking the countries, scientists, research institutes and universities around the world.
