Methods: This was a survey-descriptive study (sectional) and Scientometrics approach was used. The statistical population include 6870 articles and documents in the field of Breast cancer (Subject) which were published in Scopus’ scientific journals during 2000-2020. We used SPSS (version 19), NodeXL and VOSviewer (version 1.6) to draw graphs and analysis data.
Results: Finding shows that Iranian scientific outputs in the field of Breast Cancer increase from 7 in 2000 to 1181 in 2020 and have 29% growth every year. We fended that Tehran University of Medical Science and United States as the most important center and co-worker in publishing scientific production.
Conclusion: Although Iranian scientific production in the recent years has shown a great growth, but articles are not published in very valid and high quality journals. Policy making, proper planning, and supporting the studies of faculty members, researches, students, and departments of universities, and another related factors can be effective in the improvement of quantitative and qualitative levels of researches.
