Improving Iran's scientific rank from 54th to 16th. The growth of scientific production has slowed. Feridon Azizi, Head of the Research Institute for Endocrine Sciences, Shahid Behashti University of Medical Sciences: In recent decades, Iran's scientific position has been upgraded from 54th to 16th in the world, but in recent years the growth in scientific production in the country has been accompanied by a kind of stagnation. The distance between Iran and Turkey in the number of scientific articles decreased and countries like Turkey and Saudi Arabia increased significantly. Support for researchers has decreased and in order to maintain the country's scientific status, it is necessary to review the research policy and strengthen support for scientists.
