Scientific Evaluation of Iranian Researchers in the Field of Computer Engineering With Emphasis on Citations

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the scientific outputs of Iranian researchers in the field of computer engineering.

The present study is an applied scientometric research and has been done by documentary research method. The research population includes 32108 all scientific outputs of Iranian computer engineering researchers from 1985 to 2020 indexed in the Web of Science citation database.

the findings showed that Islamic Azad universities and Amir Kabir University have the highest records in terms of science production in this field. A study of countries participating in Iranian scientific production in the field of computer engineering showed that the United States with 1548 records had the highest impact on Iranian production in this field. LECTURE NOTES IN COMPUTER SCIENCE was recognized as the most popular Iranian journal in the field of computer engineering. Also, most of Iran's scientific productions in the field of computer engineering have been done in the fields of engineering, telecommunications and mathematics.

Conclustion:

 The results showed that the scientific output of Iran was increasing in the field of computer engineering. The results of the scientific cooperation of researchers showed that in the production of science related to this area, Iran has had a scientific cooperation with researchers from 100 countries, which is the highest participation level of cooperation with the United States, Canada and Australia. Researchers in the field of computer engineering have published their scientific products in 4835 different journals indexed in Web of Science databases. Also, according to the findings, it was found that Iran ranks 19th in the world in this area, which is a suitable position.
