This research is conducted with the purpose of citation assessment and analysis of comparative literature journal during 2007-2013. The results show that this journal within the years under study (7 years), published 262 articles in 28 issues. The collaboration of researchers shows that within these seven years 51.15% of articles had just one author. In other words, in the first four years, the scientific collaboration of authors had been weak and the majority of articles were single-authored ones. However, over the last three years authors have tended towards collaborative writing and coauthoring. This research shows that Mehdi Momtahen with 22 articles is introduced as the most prolific author. Also Islamic azad university of Jiroft branch with 46 articles is ranked as the most prolific university. Books form 90% of research sources of the authors of this journal and about 71% of research sources of this journal has been in Persian language.

Objective: This article aims to study factors into factors hindering of Iranian women’s research productivity in ISI. Methodology: To do this, at first, women who have already had published documents indexed in ISI were identified through Web of Science (WoS). Then, for collecting their view regarding factors hindering women’s research productivity, a researcher-made questionnaire was used. To analyze the collected data, the statistical software SPSS (version 17) was used. Both descriptive (Percentage and Frequency) and inferential (ANOVA) statistics were employed to reach valid findings. Findings: The most inhibitory factors affecting negatively publishing scholarly articles by Iranian women are ‘Shortcomings in the existing laws’, ‘Stereotypes and beliefs concerning women’, ‘Family work’Social and cultural contingencies’, ‘Child care’, and ‘Low collaboration with male colleagues. Conclusion: Regarding Patriarchal culture in the society and scientific society, and women's ruminating due to home management, these two factors has caused the women scientific production would be low.At the end, for empowerment of women and moderating inhibitory factors, some suggestions are offered

Purpose: The paper aims to determine the scope and extent of scientific cooperation between Tabriz University and foreign countries in Scopus database.
Methodology: This study, which is based on descriptive and analytical methods, views the scientific production of Tabriz University, indexed in Scopus Database. Excel software was used to analyze data.
Findings: Cooperation of Tabriz University with foreign countries started in 1962 that upshot of this collaboration is 1040 scientific production for Tabriz University. Researchers in Tabriz University recorded the highest rate of cooperation with United States, Canada and UK. Most cooperation done with other countries are mainly devoted to such fields as: Engineering, Chemistry, Physics, and Agriculture. Canada’s Ryerson University and University of Western Australia, on the other hand, were the most cooperative institutes.

Purpose: The present scientometric study aims to investigate the scholarly productivity and impact of Iranian Chemistry researchers in the Web of Science database.
Methodology: The research method was scientometric. A total of 19456 documents in different sub-disciplines of the Chemistry which specified Iran as their affiliated country and indexed by the Web of Science database were selected as population of the study.
Findings: The results of the exponential regression test revealed a 18.76 percent growth rate for Iranian publications. The highest number of documents (3310) has been published in 2011. The number of citations and self-citations received by Iranian publications was also studied in this paper. Based on the results, Iranian Chemistry publications in the Web of Science have received 6.418 citations and 0.15 self-citations per document. Moreover, 183760 researchers within their 88266 papers have made 124882 citations to the documents produced by Iranian researchers in the field of Chemistry. The highest number of citations has been received from Chinese, Indian, American, Spanish and Turkish researchers. The results also demonstrated that among Iranian universities and research centers, Islamic Azad University was the most productive university and Razi University of Kermanshah had the most citation impact. Moreover, among all sub-disciplines of the Chemistry, Multidisciplinary Chemistry has had the highest share in scientific publication with 6462 documents. Conversely, the least number of publications has been published in Applied Chemistry with 1533 documents.
Conclusion: The results of the study also revealed that researchers from 81 countries all over the world had scientific collaboration with Iranian researchers. Among them, United States, Germany and England have shown the most number of collaboration with Iranian researchers. Finally, Iranian researchers have published their publications in 452 ISI journals

Purpose: The aim of this study was to identify the rate of using online social networks by researchers of Middle East countries and purpose of them to join these networks.
Methodology: The study approach was survey-comparative performed by non-percent stratified randomized sampling. The statistical population consisted of all researchers of Middle East countries; then, according to the sample, we sent the questionnaire to 728 of them. This questionnaire was researcher-made and so, 444 of the researchers replied it. Reliability of the questionnaire was tested by the Cronbach's alpha method and the result was 0.79. We used descriptive statistics, inferential statistics, Chi-squared test, and One-way ANOVA to answer the research questions.
Finding: Scholars of Kuwait, United Arabic Emirates, and Qatar had the most rate of using interconnected online social networks. Also, researchers of Bahrain, the United Arabic Emirates, and Syria showed the highest rate of presence in social networks. Visibility, increased citation, and sharing of articles by researchers of Middle East countries have been the major goals of using scientific social networks.
Conclusion: Totally, it can be inferred that the rate of using scientific social networks by researchers of Middle East countries is not satisfactory and these networks have still not found their deserved place among these researchers.
