coefficient, networks components and the mean distance. On the other hand, network
analysis micro-level metrics such as degree, betweenness and closeness, and also the productivity
index were applied to evaluate the performance of its statistical population i.e.
each of the researchers and universities whose published works are included in this coauthoring
network.
Findings: The findings distinguish Saeed Rezaei Sharifabadi, Sedigheh Mohammad Esmaeil,
