Abstract
This study aims to investigate and evaluate the scientific productions of Iran and the world in the fieldof seismology in the Web of Science database from 1970 to 2018, quantitatively and qualitatively. Thepresent study was carried out, using a scientometric approach. This research is applied research thatevaluates the quality and quantity of scientific products of the world and Iran in the field ofseismology. The results showed that the number of scientific productions in the seismology field in theworld is 114292 documents. The number of papers published by the Iranian researchers in this areawas 3065 documents. Furthermore, the results showed that Iran is in the thirteenth position in theworld and sixth position among other Asian countries. The total number of citations documentspublished by Iranians was 1963. The average citation per document was 6.25 and the H-index for Iranin this field is 51. The results showed that while Iran is an earthquake-prone country; the number ofscientific research conducted by the Iranian researchers is low, in comparison to some countries thatare not the earthquake-prone countries. Therefore, more attention should be paid to research anddevelopment in the field of seismology.
Keywords: Seismology, Scientific publications, Citation analysis, Scientometrics.
