Abstract: (89 Views)
Introduction: The number of scientific publications on traditional Iranian medicine has increased in international indexes. The present study aimed to analyze the scientific map of scientific production in the field of Iranian medicine.
Materials and Methods: This study is a descriptive-analytical investigation conducted using Scientometric techniques. The research community was all published documents in the field of Persian Medicine (including all scientific documents, journal articles, conference articles, and seminars) that were indexed in the Web of Science database and extracted by using traditional medicine terminology and its equivalents and an appropriate search strategy, without applying time limits. Data analysis was performed using Histsite, VoSViewer, and SPSS (version 20) software.
Results: The highest scientific production in the field of Iranian medicine was in 2021 (1893 documents), and the highest rank of citation received (TGCS: 14383) occurred in 2014. In terms of publishing format, the article had the highest number of records (1662), and the meeting report had the lowest (1 record). Among the researchers and institutions in the field of traditional Iranian medicine, Larijani, with 111 documents and 2004 citations, and Tehran University of Medical Sciences, with 3858 scientific records, were ranked first, respectively. The network analysis of the events related to vocabulary also showed that topics such as traditional alternative medicine, herbal medicine, COVID-19 disease, and Lamiaceae were used in more scientific texts.
Conclusion: The publication of scientific research in the field of traditional Iranian medicine has grown increasingly in recent years. By creating awareness of scientific capacities, the present research will help policymakers of educational programs to analyze the status and provide informed decisions for future planning.
