This research is set to study scientific publications published by faculty members of Allameh Tabatab’i University in two international citation indexes including the Science Citation Index and Scopus. Duration of the study was 1987 till the end of 2015. Scientometrics methods were used to do the study. Searches in the mentioned databases were the main tool of data gathering. The results show that the growth rate was 29.49 and 32.51, and density indicator is 0.008 and 0.005 in the Science Citation Index and Scopus respectively. This indicates a low density and low collaboration among authors. Faculty of Management and Accounting was the most productive one.
