Abstract

Introduction: Open science is one of the principals of the scientific community which includes any changes to the future of knowledge and dissemination. In order to provide a comprehensive scientific overview of the subject area of open science in the world, the present study aims at mapping the process of historical and thematic trends of this subject, the intellectual structure derived from the analysis of co-citation, and co-occurrence network analyses as well as the social structure of co-authorship.
Methodology: The research is an applied type with using scientometrics and a quantitative approach which had investigated the status of scientific products of open science index in Scopus from the beginning until the end of 2019. For visualizing data, VOSviewer and Gephi were used.
Findings: The US and UK were the most influential countries amongst others, while no records of Iran was indexed in this subject. In addition, there was a great variety of subject areas in open science; while, both computer and social sciences were indexed the most papers with this subject.
Conclusion: This subject was multidisciplinary and in terms of historical trends, the growth of research in open science has increased over the years. Co-authorship network demonstrated that authors with a stronger co-authorship network were among the most prolific authors in the field, too.
