Abstract

The aim of this study was to investigate the status of the Iranian Journal of Forest and Poplar Research in the Scopus database. The citation analysis method was used for this scientometric study. The data were extracted from the Scopus citation database during 1999-2019. The research results were analyzed in two groups of cited and citing articles. The findings showed that 188 of the journal articles (23% of total journal articles) were cited 345 times by 237 international articles in Scopus. Furthermore, about 8% of these articles were published as single-authored and the rest as multi-authored papers. The highest number of citations received was in 2008. Vahid Etemad and Manouchehr Namiranian from the University of Tehran, and Khosro Sagheb-Talebi from the Research Institute of Forests and Rangelands (RIFR) received the highest amount of citations, respectively. Most of those articles were geographically focused in the Hyrcanian forests, as well as beech, oak, poplar, and pistachio tree species. The analysis of citing articles showed that most of these articles were published in Iran, the United States, and Germany. In addition, most of the citing articles were published by the “Journal of Forest Science”.
