Iranian Scientific Publication and Citation Data from 1960 to 2024

Iran's publication and citation data from 1960 to 2024 examines the long-term impact of the 1979 revolution on scientific development. The dataset likely contains metrics like Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) and publication volume, used for longitudinal scientometric analysis and counterfactual modeling. It was created by Ehsan Roohi and last updated in June 2026.

Use Cases

• Analyzing publication volume trends over time based on longitudinal scientometric data
• Evaluating research quality gaps using Field-Weighted Citation Impact (FWCI) metrics
• Modeling counterfactual scientific development scenarios using Synthetic Control Method (SCM)
• Studying the relationship between political events and scientific compounding capacity

Strengths

• Data spans a 64-year period from 1960 to 2024
• License is CC-BY-4.0, allowing for open reuse

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download
