Purpose: Considering the extent and importance of Payame Noor University in higher education and the importance of social sciences in the production of Iranian science, the purpose of this study is to investigate and analyze the quality of scientific products in the field of social sciences of Payame Noor University based on scientometric and altmetrics indices in Scopus from 2010 to 2020. Methodology: This descriptive survey study will be performed by scientometric and altmetrics methods and will be a type of applied research. The study population of all scientific productions in the field of social sciences of Payame Noor University, including 557 documents, in 2010 and 2020. Pearson t-test and correlation coefficient were used to analyze the data on the relationship between citation indices and Altmetrics indices. Findings: A comparison of the scientific productions of Iran Social Sciences and Payame Noor University shows that the share of Payame Noor University in the total number of Iranian articles was equal to 2.89%. The rate of articles resulting from scientific collaborations of only the authors of this university with international authors has been 10%. In addition, the citation per paper of these scientific products and its FWCI were 3.1 and 0.63, respectively. In addition, regarding the altmetrics indices of the scientific documents studied in the Scopus database, the Abstract frequency index had the highest frequency with 63944 and an average of 106.57 per article. Conclusion: The results of this study showed that the amount of science production of Payame Noor University researchers is very low compared to the national level in the field of social sciences and it is necessary to change policies and create incentives for science production in this sector.

Based on the findings, the highest frequency of Altmetrics indices of scientific documents studied in Scopus database was Abstract view index with 63944 and an average of 106.57 per article. Coclusion: The results of this study showed that the amount of science production of Payame Noor University researchers is very low compared to the national level in the field of social sciences and it is necessary to change policies and create incentives for science production in this sector.

Purpose: The purpose of the research is to study the presence of Islamic Azad University- Tehran Science and Research Branch(IAUTSRB) University Scholars in ResearchGate. Methodology: This research is an applied one which is done with Altmetrics approach. The statistical population of this research to 9 October 2017, 2158 researchers were in IAUTSRB To analyze the data, descriptive and inferential statistics were used. Findings: The results showed that the male researcher presence of IAUTSRB is more than women in ResearchGate scientific social network from the point of view of quantity and RG scores. The researcher’s presence and RG score and Research items were different in scientific areas. The researchers' participation in the question and the answer was low. Conclusion: Scientific social networks have an important role in activities and scientific communication of researchers; It deserves that provide such an environment in which researchers; scientists and student could present him/her selves.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the Altometrics Indicators of Iranian medical sciences universities in the two social networks of the ResearchGate and Academia.edu. and to investigate their relationship with the scientometrics indicator in Scopos database, such as number of publications, citation rates and h-Index. Methodology: The present study was carried out using scientometric method. The research data were collected using Excel 2013 software and analyzed by SPSS version 23 using Spearman, Chi-square and condom analysis. Findings: According to the findings, the University's ranking based on the h-Index has a significant relationship with their presence and number of members in the social network of the ResearchGate and Academia.edu. In addition, there was a significant relationship between the Altometrics Indicators of medical sciences universities in the ResearchGate and Academia social networks with the citation rate and h-Index (P Conclusions: The results of this study, the starting point for action plans to increase the presence of faculty members of universities in social networking as an activity in the dissemination of knowledge.
