Abstract

The use of scientometrics indicators as a tool for evaluating and analyzing research on various topics has always been considered; However, in the Islamic revolution field, despite its importance, no research was found that evaluated the scientific outputs published in the journals of this field. The purpose of this study was to analyze and visualize the scientific output made by Quarterly Journal of Islamic Revolution Research from a scientometrics perspective during 2012 to 2021. By extracting needed data from journals website and unifying names and keywords, the journal status was determined and made visualized by applying some scientometrics software packages. Studying the essay patterns of articles showed that three authors pattern or collaboration between three researchers from one or three organizations with 48.53% had the highest frequency. The articles co-authorship network consists of 132 nodes and 162 lines. The largest co-authorship component has 20 nodes. The results indicate Ebrahim Kalantari, Alireza Golshani and Mohammad Reza Majidi have maintained their position in closeness and between centrality. Regarding inter-organizational cooperation, a significant part of the articles belonged to University of Tehran researchers. The Islamic revolution with 103 frequently has been more considered by researchers. The use of hierarchical clustering analysis to identify the intellectual structure of Islamic revolution field led to 11 subject clusters. The intellectual structure outlined in this research can help the journal of Islamic Revolution Research in reviewing articles and balanced development of required topics and achieving the journal goals.
