Abstract:
Purpose

Cohort studies are one of the most important research methods in the field of medical sciences that are usually costly and time-consuming. To justify the investments of these studies, their impacts and achievements should be evaluated. The purpose of this study was to investigate the status and impact of Iranian cohort studies on the production and development of knowledge.

Methodology

The present research was a descriptive applied study using bibliometric and Scientometrics methods. 1374 Iranian scientific productions from cohort studies, indexed up to November 30, 2017, in the web of science, formed the statistical population of this study. To analyze the data and descriptive statistics, Excel software and to draw up cooperation maps, Bibexcel, NET DREW and UCInet were used, respectively.

Findings

1374 documents indexed in 108 different subject categories with “Medicine, General & Internal” consisted of the first group with 243 articles. These documents received 12953 citations. 69.36% of documents were cited, and 0.5% of them were highly cited. 9685 authors cooperated in writing these papers. Therefore, it was indicated that each paper, on average, contributed by 7 authors. Also, 506 out of 624 journals published cohort articles had an impact factor. 17.9% of papers were published in Q1 journals, and110 countries and 1389 national and international organizations contributed to publish Iranian cohort studies articles. Conclustion: Considering the growing trend in cohort studies, university administrators, custodians, and research investors need to pay attention to the impact of these studies to plan for investing in these studies as well as focusing on domestic and foreign partnerships. Researchers should also pay more attention to the dissemination of research results in qualified magazines with an international audience.
