چکیده:
Over the past decade, Iran's share in global science has increased significantly. In this article, after stating this fact, an attempt is made to measure Iran's scientific performance through the number of scientific articles published by its scientific community. Then, the cognitive structure of science in Iran is presented to identify any anomalies based on Popescu's classification. The result is that chemistry, with its exceptional production, has disrupted the proportion between disciplines.

Keywords: Research institutions, chemistry, structure of science, scientific articles, university research, impact factor, scientific production.
More than 90% of our scientific articles consist of: chemistry, medicine, engineering, physics, materials science, mathematics, biology and agriculture.
The most prominent discipline, with about four hundred articles, is chemistry (Diagram 1), whose role in the scientific production of chemical engineering, materials science, physics, agriculture and biology must also be considered (Diagram 2).
In the field of engineering, about 182 articles have been published, which is slightly higher than the global average in terms of impact factor (0.
It is observed that the majority of Iranian chemistry articles (71%) are published in journals that are below the global average.
(Refer to the page image) In the field of chemistry sub-disciplines, Popescu's six-category classification shows that applied chemistry, although an important component, has such a small number of our articles in this area that it should be practically ignored (only 6 months, all of which are foreign collaborators).
(Refer to the page image) The quality of articles in the field of physics and the number of articles in journals are plotted on a specific chart (star, average global impact factor).
It is observed that 59% of Iranian materials science articles are published in journals that are below the global average.
The quality of medical articles and the number of articles in journals are plotted on a specific chart (star, average global impact factor).
