Abstract
Introduction: Systematic reviews and meta-analyses are the most important sources for generating evidence across all fields of medical sciences, including psychiatry. This study aims to examine the authorship characteristics and scientometric indicators of the publication sources of systematic reviews and meta-analyses in the field of psychiatry in Iran.
Methods: This research was conducted using qualitative content analysis and scientometric methods. The study population consists of 209 systematic review and meta-analysis articles in the field of psychiatry in Iran, published in Scopus in 2021. Authorship characteristics, publication sources, and scientometric indicators (SJR, Citescore, SNIP) of these publication sources were examined.
Results: The analysis of 209 articles showed that 25.25% of the articles had between one to three authors. Iran ranked first in terms of the country affiliation of corresponding and first authors. The top affiliations of corresponding authors were equally shared by Iran University of Medical Sciences and Tehran University of Medical Sciences. The top affiliation of first authors was Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences. The journal Frontiers in Psychiatry ranked first among the most productive publication sources. The top country affiliation of publication sources was the United Kingdom. The Lancet Gastroenterology and Hepatology (UK) had the highest scientometric indicators among the publication sources examined.
Conclusion: More than half of the articles had a desirable number of authors in the research team. The scientometric indicators of the publication sources did not show a favorable status, indicating a need for greater attention from relevant authorities.
