Introduction: Scientometric studies play a crucial role in mapping the development and expansion of science. The primary objective of this article is to conduct a scientometric study of theses on the history of medicine in Iran from the beginning of 2001 to the end of 2021.
Methods: This is applied research conducted using a quantitative content analysis method. The statistical population of the study consists of 558 theses published in universities and scientific centers across the country. The research data was collected using a content analysis checklist and analyzed using descriptive statistics.
Results: The research findings indicate that Tehran University produced the highest number of theses with 66, followed by Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences with 49, and Payame Noor University with 36. The highest number of theses were written in 2017 (9.67%), and the lowest number was in 2003. Moreover, the history, professional doctorate, and Persian language and literature departments published the highest number of theses, with 160, 78, and 46, respectively.
Conclusions: The results of this research show that the history of medicine in Iran has experienced significant growth in the past two decades. This growth is evident in the increasing number of theses and the increased participation of universities and scientific centers.
