Abstract: (214 Views)
A Bibliometric analysis is one of the main methods to evaluate scientific journal performance. The purpose of this study was to investigate the status of bibliometric variables and mapping in DARU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences as one of the best scientific journals in Iran. Bibliometric analyses and mapping was performed in a total of 850 published documents between 2000 and 2018 in the DARU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences. The data come from the Scopus databases. Bibliometric analyses were done with Microsoft Excel, and journal mapping was done with VOS viewer using bibliographic coupling, co-citation, co-authorship and co-occurrence methods.The annual citation structure of the journal shows that 90% of published documents in this period are cited at least once. The published documents in 2012 and 2013 with more than 1000 citations were the most influential documents. The document entitled ‘‘Analysis of the essential oils of two cultivated basil (Ocimum basilicum L.) from Iran’’ by Sajjadi was the highly cited document with 115 citations. In totally, there were 7846 sources that cite the journal publications. Iran, India, and the United States were the three top countries published documents in the journal from 2000 to 2018. Tehran University of Medical Sciences (421), Tabriz University of Medical Sciences (83 documents), and Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences (75) were the most productive institutes. Also, Abdollahi (63), Shafiee (37), Dinarvand (25) and Larijani (25) with the most publications were the most influential authors. The publications and citations of DARU Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences have a tendency of a progressive increase. This journal has played an important role in publications and advancements of Pharmacy and Pharmaceutical Sciences.
