The aim of this study was to identify the effect of Altmetrics indexes of ResearchGate social network on scientometric indicators of Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar citation databases. The present study is an applied research and descriptive-survey research that has been done by the scientometric method with the Altmetrics approach. The statistical population of the study includes Iranian researchers and writers in the field of nursing who in the period 2000-2019 and on the date of research (20/03/2020), had an indexed document in the Scopus citation database and were also a member of the scientific social network ResearchGate. The statistical sample of the study includes 158 high-profile authors introduced by Scopus. In addition to descriptive statistics, in the inferential statistics section, the correlation test between the studied indices has been used with the help of SPSS and Excel software.The research findings show that there is a significant relationship between most of the ResearchGate indices and the indices studied in Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar. But there is no significant relationship between the index of followers with H-index indexes and citations received in Scopus and Web of Science databases. Examining the relationship between the number of citations received in Google Scholar, Scopus, and Web of Science databases shows that there is a significant relationship between the number of citations received in Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases.

This study investigates the relationship between the measurements obtained from the social networks of ResearchGate and Academia with the scientometric indicators of Scopus and Web of Science databases. The present study is of a fundamental type that has been done in a descriptive manner and with an algorithmic approach. The statistical population of the study includes the most prolific authors in the field of Iranian Business Management who have uploaded their documents in the Scopus database between 2000-2019. 160 of these authors, who had the most documents indexed in Scopus, respectively, have been introduced as a statistical sample of the research. In order to investigate the relationship between the metrics obtained by the authors' activities in the research networks of ResearchGate and Academia with the scientometric indicators of Scopus and Web of Science databases, the statistical tests of correlation with the help of Excel and SPSS has been used. The presence and activity of Business Management writers on the ResearchGate social network is much higher than that of the academia. The relationship between the number of records, citations, H-index and co-authorship in Scopus with the metrics of citation number, citations, index, readers, RJ score and followers in ResearchGate is positive and significant. However, there is no significant relationship between Scopus scientometrics and the criteria of followers, viewers, and co-authors in the academia.

Citation analysis is able to map the structure of subject areas and leads to the emergence of new scientific disciplinesIt traces and shows the internal relationships between subject categories within structure, and as a result studies the history of science. Purpose: purpose of this article is drawing Maps of the scientific production in the Field of addiction based on Web of science between 2008 to 2013. Methodology: The study population consisted of 489 articles in the field of addiction citation analysis of the database web of science. Maps of the area, Reputation Index is based on a global citation score (GCS) and local citation score (LC MS) is plotted. Findings: Thematic trends of scientific Maps in the field of addiction include five thematic clusters. The average annual growth rate during the time period for reviewed publications is 0/253. Documents written by 1352 authors in 10 publication formats have been published in 9 languages around the world. Conclusion: It is indicated that the average growth rate of scientific production in the field of addiction is not satisfactory but collaboration in this area is desirable.
