This study sought to compare scientific trends in research performance of Iranian and Turkish scholarly outputs based on 15 metrics in four categories This study is an analytical and applied study based on scientometrics indices and based on SciVal Tool. The findings showed that Iranian researchers' performance was better than Turkish researchers in metrics such as scholarly outputs, citation count, citations per publication, citedness rate, Field-Weighted Citation Impact, and views count, views per publication, Field-Weighted Views Impact, collaboration and top journal percentiles during the period. However, Turkish researchers had better performance than Iranian academics in collaboration and academic-corporate collaboration impact. Based on the research results, policymakers in Iran should take steps to remove obstacles to the international cooperation. Besides, this comparison shows that Iranian researchers should seek a greater perspective for competition. The most important issue is that despite the increase in the quantity of research, Iran should consider measures to increase their research quality and impact on industry and people's lives as well. Increasing the relationship between industry and academic institutes can contribute to this impact. In this study, while comparing all research outputs of Iran and Turkey based on 15 SciVal indicators, a comprehensive study has been conducted on the reasons for Iran's scientific growth, discussed in the discussion section, which can be the approach and plan of many research policy makers in other countries.

The purpose of this research was to conduct a comparative study of the impact of ResearchGate indicators on increasing citation and usage counts of hot papers in clinical medicine indexed in the Web of Science (WoS) database. This is an applied research and has been performed using scientometric methods. Article titles, the number of citations, "Usage count last 180 days", "Usage count since 2013", publication year, and authors of 583 hot papers in clinical medicine were extracted from the WoS database. Then, the readership and citation counts of articles were extracted from ResearchGate social network. The data were analyzed by descriptive and analytical statistics using Microsoft Excel and SPSS 21. The results showed that there was a significant relationship between the number of received citations, both usage counts in WoS and ResearchGate indicators (P value = 0.01). Selfarchiving in scientific social networking sites such as ResearchGate may be effective on visibility of articles that may also be related to their received citations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

• The most important result of this study indicates that most of the identified errors are action errors, which can be reduced by providing appropriate instructions, training nurses, creating a reporting and error recording system, management controls, and promoting safety culture. • The results of this study can help hospital managers make decisions to reduce action errors to prevent human errors and increase safety at the hospital level. • This study showed that the SHERPA technique is applicable to healthcare settings. Human errors are the underlying cause of many occupational accidents. In recent years, human errors have increased in the healthcare sector. This study aimed to identify human errors committed by emergency department (ED) nurses working at Shahid Beheshti Hospital in Kashan using the SHERPA method. This study is a descriptive cross-sectional study performed in the emergency department of Shahid Beheshti Hospital. Human errors were first identified and analyzed using the Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) technique and then studied using the SHERPA method. In total, 426 errors were identified including 263 action errors, 108 checking errors, 35 selection errors, 12 retrieval errors, and eight communication errors. Also, based on the levels presented in the risk matrix in terms of severity of consequences, the highest percentage (36.34%) belonged to the borderline category. The majority of identified errors were action errors, which can be reduced by providing appropriate instructions and training nurses, compiling reports and building error recording systems, improving management controls, and promoting a safety culture.
