“…Actually, this handicap may manifest itself more tacitly hindering NNS authors' ability to truly excel in their fields. For instance, in the study conducted by Sedghi et al (2020), it was found that even the recent boom in Iranian scientific output is overshadowed by the concerning trend that the rise in the number of publications is actually taking place in local journals categorized within the lower Q3 and Q4 rankings of both Scopus and WOS. In light of such findings, Iranian research policymakers are encouraged to consider revising tenure and promotion criteria for faculty members and researchers.…”

Lexical bundles (LBs), as building blocks of fluent academic language production, have been studied extensively, but less attention has been paid to non-native authors' productions. Nor has there been a study to investigate the possible changes that LBs might undergo in non-native authors' productions when submitted to copy editors. Therefore, a 914,666-word corpus was selected, encompassing both edited and unedited articles in medical sciences written by Persian academics. Then, we studied the frequency of 4-word bundles alongside their structural and functional features, as well as the changes the editing process could bring about in this regard. The results indicated that although types and tokens of bundles generally increased by 6.6% and 17.3% respectively after the editing process, this increase did not include all subcategories. Furthermore, the editing process was not found to make any tangible structural or functional modifications. Pedagogically, our findings could have implications for non-native authors and editors.

Background Alzheimer's disease is the most common form of dementia and is a rising issue for global health. Iran is struggling with a growing number of the elderly population and also a decrease in fertility rate. The goal of this study was to review and evaluate Alzheimer's disease publications by Iranian researchers. Methods We searched for Alzheimer and all its related keywords in the Web of Science to find related documents published by Iranian researchers from 2010 until 2019. Bibliometric parameters at the level of documents, authors, and organizations were assessed. The co-authorship matrix was computed using Bibexcel, and visualizations were performed by VOSviewer. Results Totally, 1042 documents from 4949 researchers (8.6 authors per document) were retrieved from Web of Science. Original articles (77.06%) and reviews (16.21%) were the most common document types for Iranian publications and also one article was retracted. As results, the average citation per document was 20.68. Iranian researchers mainly collaborated with researchers from the United States, Italy, Australia, and Canada, respectively. The co-occurrence networks for keywords represented five publication clusters in the collection. The largest cluster was related to studies on oxidative stress in Alzheimer's Disease, followed by in-vivo studies in the field of brain neurons destruction. Conclusion We found that Iranian researchers made significant impacts in the field of Alzheimer's disease and covered a wide range of related areas over the last 10 years.
