The purpose of this study was to determine the co-authorship coefficient of the authors of the articles published in the scientific journals of the Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization in the years 2010-2014. Identifying the most productive authors of articles, gender writers and co-authorship patterns are also identified as research sub-goals.
This is an applied and quantitative research that is carried out using a scientometrics approach. The statistical population of the study consisted of 4684 articles in 31 scientific articles of the organization in the field of agriculture during 2010-2014.
Findings: Findings show that the tendency of most writers to collaborate with a group of 4684 articles, 4299 articles (92%) were co-authored and 385 articles (8%) were prepared individually. Among the articles published, articles with 3 authors with the abundance of 1351 articles (29%) had the highest number and articles with 8 authors with the abundance of 17 articles had the smallest number.
The authors tend to focus on group collaboration. Accordingly, using the formula for determining the co-authorship coefficient of authors, the co-authorship coefficient was calculated and an average of 615%, which indicates the appropriate status of team collaboration among the authors.
