Abstract

Background: Forecasting is the process of predicting future behavior. In reviewing databases, no predicted value associated with international collaboration publications in Iran was found. Thus, the present study aimed at forecasting Iran's international collaborative articles in medical sciences. Methods: The number of Iran's articles and international collaborative articles in medical sciences written over 56 years was extracted from SCOPUS. Data were extracted from 1960 up to 2016. The time series method was used for forecasting using the Minitab software Version 17. Results: There was no increase in the number of medical articles from Iran from 1960 to 2001. However, the data showed incremental growth between 2001 and 2016. This was similar to Iran's medical sciences international collaboration articles. In 2016, the percentage of Iran's international collaboration articles was 15.2, which is expected to reach 19.9 in 2025. Conclusion: An investigation was performed on the number of international collaboration articles in the field of medical sciences in Iran. Future trends show an incremental growth. The number of Iran's articles can be increased with international cooperation. However, an increase or decrease in Iran's articles without international cooperation has to be investigated. © Iran University of Medical Sciences.
