Abstract
Today, scientific development pervades all aspects of development of societies and we can certainly say that science production and scientific information are the foundation of development in all of the forms, including social, economic and cultural development. In order to development of science, scientific collaboration between individuals, research organizations and different countries has considerably increased. Scientific collaboration can be considered as a reflection of the scientific community activities and approaches. One significant aspect of scientific collaboration is co-authorship. Since researches in the new era face many challenges and demand great range of knowledge and information, in order to perform comprehensive researches, scientific collaboration has become inevitable. In this regard, studying co-authorship and scientific outputs of different scientific fields has become necessary. By doing research in areas such as network analysis, network mapping, clustering and challenges related to scientific collaboration, beneficial approaches should be identified to increase such collaboration and the modality of scientific collaboration between countries, institutions and experts in various fields can be presented.
