It seems that with the changes in co-authorship of scientific outputs، this law is not dominant and requires further investigation، so as a general principle، at all times، be used. In reviewing Bradford law، the results show that this law has been confirmed in the scientific outputs of the authors in the field of geology in the period of study. whereas the authors are used as subjects of the articles. In other words، the greatest number of authors (as topics of articles) has produced the lowest number of scientific outputs that these documents are the core documents and by the greatest participation of authors have written
