目的--这篇论文的目的是检查伊朗资助的研究出版物的引文影响，并将其与没有获得资助的研究进行比较。设计/方法/方法-使用文献计量学方法，该研究调查了2000年至2009年在SCI中发表的80,300种伊朗出版物，以发现资助出版物的百分比，并确定这些出版物与未资助出版物相比的引文影响。研究结果--研究结果显示，约12.5%的伊朗出版物得到资助，过去四年中资助的出版物数量急剧增加。资助出版物的引文影响几乎在所有主题领域都较高。获得资助的出版物数量最多的是科学、研究和技术部下属的大学。原创性/价值--研究的影响和质量受到不同因素的影响，例如获得资金和研究设施。由于伊朗以前从未研究过这一问题，本研究确定资金是否会影响伊朗研究的影响。
Purpose - This paper's aim is to examine the citation impact of Iranian funded research publications and compare it with research which received no funding.Design/methodology/approach - Using a bibliometric method, the study investigated 80,300 Iranian publications published from 2000 to 2009 in SCI-EXPANDED to discover the percentage of funded publications and to determine the citation impact of these publications in comparison with unfunded ones.Findings - The results of the study showed that around 12.5 per cent of Iranian publications were funded and the number of funded publications has increased dramatically over the last four years. The citation impact of funded publications was higher in almost all of the subject fields. The highest number of funded publications belonged to the universities subordinate to The Ministry of Science, Research and Technology.Originality/value - The impact and quality of research is influenced by different factors, for instance receiving funding and research facilities. As this issue has not been previously examined in Iran, the present study determines whether funding can influence the impact of Iranian research.
