Methodlogy: The present study was applied in a descriptive survey (with a Scientometrics approach). Research population was the indexed papers in WOS databases from 1999 to 2018. Data related to articles with the affiliations of (AD=Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University), (AD=Tabriz University) and (AD=Sahand University of Technology) were searched in the WOS. Then, the time limit for scientific output was defined and the final research was conducted. Lastly, data were analyzed using Excel.
Findlings: According to the findings, scientific outputs indexed under the names of the Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University, Tabriz University, and Sahand University of Technology over the last 20 years were 279, 1723, and 365, respectively. The results showed that Zafarani-Moattar Mt, a professor at Tabriz University with 147 papers (8.5%), Sardroodi J., a professor at Azarbaijan Shahid Madani University with 40 papers (14.3%), and Haghighi M from Sahand University of Technology with 79 articles (21%), Ranked first.
