Abstract :
Co-authorship is one of the most common manifestations of scientific collaboration between researchers and scholars of scientific disciplines. The significant growth of this phenomenon in various scientific disciplines in the last two decades has made the study of different features of co-authorship networks become an interesting issue for researchers. The study of these networks in various scientific disciplines such as mathematics, physics and information sciences using existing tools in the field of social network analysis has been considered. Due to the growing phenomenon of co-authorship in various fields of medical sciences, in this article, the co-authorship network of Iranian researchers in the field of reconstructive medicine has been analyzed. In addition, the network of scientific cooperation between Iranian institutions active in the field of reconstructive medicine has been analyzed and studied. Finally, based on the analysis, suggestions are made to improve the quantitative and qualitative level of research.
