Abstract: (2054 Views)
Objective(s): The purpose of this study was to investigate the citation status and presence of research outputs of Tehran University of Medical Sciences in social media in five subjects during the years 2006-2020.
Methods: The study applied scientometric and Altometric indicators. The five subject areas ("Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology ", " Pharmacology, Toxicology and Pharmaceutics ", " Immunology and Microbiology ", " Chemistry ", " Engineering ") of Tehran University of Medical Sciences was selected according to the subject classification of Scopus Citation Database. Data were extracted from Scopus, Altmetric and Scival databases. To analyze data Microsoft Excel software and SPSS 22 was used.
Results: The results showed that "Biochemistry, Genetics and Molecular Biology" had the most and "Engineering" had the least products, citation and h-index. "Engineering" and "Chemistry" had better performance in terms of the quality of research outputs according to the "Percentage of Papers Published in High-Quality Journals" and "percentage of Highly-Cited Papers" indicators. The subject area of "Immunology and Microbiology" was at a lower level in terms of citation criteria than other subject areas. About 30 percent of the outputs were on social media, receiving the most mention and bookmarking on Twitter and Mendely at all times. There was a statistically significant relationship between the number of bookmarking and the altmetric score with the number of citations received by the outputs in Scopus.
Conclusion: Social media could have a positive effect on increasing public health awareness and literacy, as well as increasing the citation of research outputs. Since the research outputs of Tehran University of Medical Sciences did not have a favorable presence on social media, it is necessary for the researchers of this university to increase their visibility and increase the citation of their outputs by actively participating and sharing their works on social media.
