Abstract

The current study will review and analyze the quality of scientific products in social sciences at Payame Noor University based on scientometric and Altmetrics indicators in Dimensions and Scopus from the years 2010 to 2020. This descriptive survey study was conducted with scientometric and Altmetrisc approaches. For data gathering, Scopus, Scival, and Dimensions were used. The current study results showed that the rate of science production of Payame Noor University scholars in the field of Social Sciences is meager and needs to change policies and create incentives for science production in this field. In the area of science production and scientific leadership, this study showed that the rate of science production of researchers at this university is meager compared to national statistics in the field of social sciences and needs to change policies and create incentives for science production in this sector. Regarding the relationship between Altmetrics indices based on the results of this study and the findings presented in the previous section, we still see uncertainty in the relationship between these two measuring instruments of science.
