Abstract Aim: This study aimed at mapping the scientific structure of Iran biology as appeared in Science Citation Index (SCI) during 1990 to 2008 via Co-citation Analysis method.
Method: 50 authors who were the most cited in 2121 articles which at least Iran was mentioned in their affiliation, were examined using factor analysis method and mapping techniques.
Findings: The results showed Iranian scientific outputs in biology followed a high growth rate equal to 29.8. Factor analysis showed 11 Factors and scientific mapping revealed that there were 8 clusters in Iran Biology including: Pharmacology and clinical pharmacology, immunology, biology, physics, evolutionary biology, applied biology, microbiology, chemistry, biochemistry and molecular biology, and cell biology.
Conclusion: 1. In Iran, the area of “Biochemistry and Molecular Biology” are more considered by researchers than other areas; 2. The Iranian researchers of Biology have a medium position in the scientific map of this branch of knowledge.

Abstract Aim: This research aimed at studying the scientific outputs of Isfahan Payam Noor University as appeared in ISI Database upto 11 November 2011.
Method: The research was conducted by using bibliometric method. Data was collected through inputting the search formula: “Payam* OR PNU” in the address field. Search results were re-examined manually in MSWord Software. Records thus obtained formed the study sample.
Findings: Results showed that 74 documents were registered in the ISI database by the academic staff of Payam Noor University of Isfahan of which Only 6 documents were authored individually and the rest were published on co-authorship basis. Among these, 10 were produced on international collaborations basis. The language of all documents was English.
Conclusions: The production of scientific papers in Payam Noor University of Isfahan followed a growing trend upto 2010 and the majority of publications (37 documents) were in Chemistry.
