So far, many researches have been conducted on the
co-authorship study of all authors of universities and organizations as one of the most important topics in the field of scientometrics in various fields and disciplines. The aim of this study was to map the co-authorship network of Iranian researchers in the field of knowledge management in Web of Science (WoS).

In this descriptive-survey study with a scientometric approach, the title "Knowledge Management" was used to collect data and 3015 records were retrieved. After entering the required data into Excel, the records were separated by two or more authors, and the required graphs and tables were drawn. The maps used in the study were drawn using VOSviewer.

The results showed that the highest amount of Iranian researchers' scientific output was in 2017 and the lowest in 2010. Moreover, the highest outputs were in the fields of knowledge management, engineering, environmental science and computer science. Among the 1680 organizations involved in scientific outputs of Iranian researchers in the field of knowledge management, the Islamic Azad University and University of Tehran received the first and second rank in joint organizational outputs, respectively. Salehi and Ahmadi had the most collaboration on the researchers' scientific communication network. The most collaboration of Iranian authors was with authors from the USA, Canada, Britain and Australia, respectively.

The findings indicated some ups and downs in the release process of scientific outputs in the field of knowledge management. The results showed that scholars and authors of Iranian universities had little interest in national co-authorship and had the highest cooperation with developed countries. Changing universities' incentive policies will be effective in correcting this and improving the country's ranking. Researchers can achieve this by sharing knowledge and new information tools and membership in national co-authorship networks in this field.

One of the most important infrastructures for the development and progress of countries is scientific outputs and targeted research to meet the needs of society and reduce the disease burden. The aim of this study was to determine the relationship between the number of scientific outputs indexed in PubMed, related to ten diseases with the highest mortality rate in Iran and the burden of each disease in 2000-2017.

In this applied study with a scientometric approach, firstly, the data on ten diseases with the highest mortality rates, in order of rank, in Iran were obtained from the University of Washington's Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation. Next, two health indicators, the number of lost years due to disability or death and disability caused by diseases and injuries related to each disease was extracted from the relevant site. Afterwards, using the controlled terms as the subject of the mesh, the related words with their synonyms in each disease were documented and then searched. Descriptive statistics was used to calculate the descriptive indicators and Pearson correlation test was applied to determine the relationship between the variables.

The findings showed that as the years progressed towards the present time, the number of scientific outputs related to ten diseases with the highest mortality rate in Iran increased, but it was relatively fewer in some diseases such as maternal and neonatal disorders, chronic respiratory diseases, transportation injuries and unintentional injuries. There was no relationship between the number of articles in the studied time periods and variables of disease burden. The trend of changes in the number of scientific outputs in ten diseases with the highest mortality rate in Iran and burden of each disease was not the same.

Although health researchers have done numerous quantitative researches, many of them have not been solved the problem, and it seems that the researches have not been guided in the right direction. Problem-based research is not designed. Grant allocations have not been based on the facts at the universities and research centers. Professional management of academic research must be created to meet the real needs of the community. Moreover, medical universities can perform their research based on these priority topics.

Today, one of the most important methods of scientific evaluation is scientometric studies. The results of these studies can be seen as a roadmap for research planners and policymakers. The aim of this study was to evaluate the scientometrics of the Journal of Applied Research of Sport Management (JARSM).

In this applied and scientometric study, all articles of the JARSM from 2012 to 2018 were analyzed. The data were collected through the journal's website and analyzed using Excel and NodeXL.

Of the 279 articles published in the JARSM, 93% were multi-author publications and more than 31% were published in collaboration with scholars from Payame Noor University. This indicates the great interest of this journal in group collaboration as well as the publication of articles affiliated to their own university. Moreover, the thematic areas of sport management, organizational behavior and sport marketing have received more attention. Tehran and West Azerbaijan Provinces had the highest number of papers in JARSM. In addition, the journal has received the most impact from the Journal of Sport Management and Development, and has made the most scientific impact on the Journal of Sport Management.

Overall, the results show that the publication trend in the JARSM is sinusoidal, and its citation rate has been accompanied by a downward trend after a period of an upward one.

Today, when economic conditions are based on knowledge, increasing the cooperation of universities in the science and technology activities of the industrial sector is one of the most important categories. The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of the Iranian universities in the science and technology activities of industrial sector and top universities around the world.

This research which is applicable in purpose and documentary in method performed using comparative citation analysis method. The population of the study was all the world's top universities indexed in the top five ranking systems of the Times, US News, Shanghai, Leiden and CiVision. Moreover, all of their science and technology activities were recorded at the Scopus from 2009 to 2018. The data were extracted from SciVal and analyzed with descriptive statistics method and Excel.

Sharif University of Technology with 0.6% and Stanford University with 7.3% had the best performance in cooperation with industry and the research findings indicated that the average cooperation of university and industry at the Iranian universities was 0.33 and at the universities of the world was 5.3. Findings related to comparing universities also showed that the level of cooperation between the world's top universities and industry reached from 5.19% in 2009 to 5.38% in 2018 and cooperation between universities and industry in Iran reached from 0.26% in 2009 to 0.35% in 2018, indicating an increasing trend. Besides, the average cooperation of top universities in Iran with industry compared to the world’s top universities is16 times less than the global average.

The university and industry relationship in Iran is very low and less than the global average. The results of this study can be used in science and technology policies and achieving the goals of the 1404 vision document of the country and can improve the gap created between science and technology in the country by strengthening the relationship between university and industry.

The aim of this study was to analyze the descriptive and content structure of scientific outputs produced by fisheries researchers of Iranian universities in the Web of Science (WoS) from 1990 to 2020.

This scientometric study was performed using co-word analysis method. The population of this research consisted of 1755 fisheries documents, published during 1990-2020 and indexed in the WoS so that at least one of the researchers had organizational affiliation with Iranian universities and research centers. The data were analyzed using Excel, and the thematic maps of this area were drawn using VOSviewer.

The findings showed that Iran was ranked 25th in international fisheries scientific outputs; in this list, the United States, Japan and Canada were ranked first to third in the world, respectively. Moreover, the findings indicated that Iran had the highest number of scientific outputs in 2017. Among the universities and research centers of Iran, Islamic Azad University, Tehran University and Gorgan University of Agricultural Sciences and Natural Resources had the highest rate of scientific outputs, respectively. The researchers published the most documents in the Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences, Journal of Applied Ichthyology and Aquaculture Research. In the study of the co-word network analysis of Iranian fisheries, 10 thematic clusters were identified.

Social network analysis of word concepts has suggested that the highest centrality indicators of fisheries studies is associated with marine biology, aquatics reproduction, aquaculture, aquatics safety system, quality of food products, pathogens in aquatics, pollution of aquatic environments, physiological indicators of stress, aquatics nutrition and salinity stress.

Nursing is one of the most important fields in medical sciences, and its development has a great impact on health cares. Since one of the indicators of the development of any field or profession is its scientific studies; therefore, the aim of this study was to evaluate scientific researches with emphasis on the concept of educational management in the field of nursing.

This study was conducted using a mapping method, and the scientometric analysis was performed on 2962 articles via collecting data from the Web of Science (WoS) from 2000 to 2019. The existing conceptual structure and patterns in the field of educational management researches as well as the interpretation of the relationship among the keywords used in the researches were extracted and analyzed using VOSviewer.

Analysis of data obtained from WoS indicated that in the field of educational management, the number of articles had increasing trend from 2000 to 2019, indicating the interest of researchers in educational management in the field of nursing. The most cited journals were belonged to the United States, the United Kingdom and Australia, as well as to the universities of Trento, Dalhousie and Queen Mary University of London, respectively. The most international collaborations were found in publishing the high-quality articles among the United States, the United Kingdom, China, Iran and Canada. In the treasury of keywords presenting in the title and abstract of articles related to educational management, through overviewing the data obtained from scientometric mapping, it could be observed that the word “knowledge” had the most usage among the words associated with the concept of management, educational management, nursing and education.

Based on the presented data, it can be found that firstly, the attention to the concept of educational management in the field of nursing has enhanced over time. Secondly, the concept of educational management is more integrated with mental concepts, representing the need to pay attention to mental and linguistic concepts and approaches in educational management research.
