USINET software was used to Visualize and analyze the Co-authorship networks, and VOS viewer software was utilized to visualize density Maps.
Results: According to the findings, the group work was welcomed by the researchers and the scientific collaboration was high. It was shown that Rezapour, Sayedin, Bagheri Faradneboe, Abolghasem Gorji, and Nouri Motlagh had the highest density of co-authorship in the network. An analysis of the co-authorship network of collaborating universities showed Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tehran University of Medical Sciences, and Shahid Beheshti University as the centers of excellence.
