Abstract
Background: Universities as science production centers, have grate roles in the development of the societies. So, the scientific activities of their researchers should be evaluated. The current study aimed to evaluate science production in Kermanshah University of Medical Sciences (KUMS), from 1995 to 2011, based on ISI Web of Science (ISI-WoS) service.
Methods: This study was performed based on the data retrieved from WoS. The obtained data was analyzed using descriptive statistical analyses.
Results: The WoS-derived results showed that KUMS researchers have published 354 scientific papers while total number of citations to these published articles was 1375. Moreover, the highest number of published papers was in 2010.
Conclusion: KUMS has experienced triggering growth in scientific productivity (74 papers in 2010) but with slow onset (2 in 1995). Among the factors contributing to this growth are; establishment of efficient motivating policies, development of scientific relationships, accessibility of essential scientific databases and the growth of internet and its various services can be overall considered as possible causes of KUMS improved productivity.
