Abstract
.Purpose: Illustrating scientific productions is one of the ways to know the quantity and quality of scientific productions in different scientific fields. This research was conducted with the aim of analyzing the descriptive and content structure of the scientific productions of Iranian researchers in the field of political science in the Web-Oscience database.
Materials and methods: This research is of an applied type, which was carried out using the scientometric method. Its statistical population is 368 scientific degrees in the field of political science, which have been indexed in the Auscience web database during the years 1990 to 2020. Vaas Viewer and Excel software were used to analyze data and draw scientific maps.
Findings: The growth trend of scientific documents in the field of political science by Iranian researchers in the WebOscience database from 1990 to 2016 has been very small, but it has reached its highest level in 2016, and in the following years, it has grown upward compared to the years before 2016. But compared to 2016, it has grown less.
Conclusion: Although Iran has grown well in terms of scientific production in the field of political science, researchers who have produced more scientific products have not published high-quality articles, and only a small number of researchers have published high-quality articles with high citations.
