Introduction: Scientific production investigation is a suitable facility to making policy and tacking decision and will provide recognizing of Past situation and also can be effective on aim of scientific movement, Determine Research Priorities and identify Available weaknesses. This study aimed to quality and quantity evaluation of scientific production among Iranian Researchers in the Field of Cancer.

Materials and Methods: This is Survey-descriptive study (sectional) and use Scientometrics approach. Statistical populations include 9289 articles and documents in the field of Cancer which published in Scopes’ Scientific Journal during 2006-2015.

Findings: Findings show that Iranian Scientific production increased during the period of study and the rate of growing was 25% every year. Also ratio of international scientific collaboration in the field of cancer was 19.3%. Superior Medical Universities founded as the most important Producer center and Developed and Industrials countries founded as the most important co-worker in publishing scientific outputs. Also measure of scientific production in some categories like Bone, Uterus and Child Cancer were not in the good level.

Conclusion: Although Iranian production in the recent years had a great growth, but articles published in not good valid and quality Journals. Support of Ministry of Health and Medical Education and their Medical Universities to Researches, increasing the rate of Iranian scientific Researchers’ interaction and collaboration with their co-worker in other countries, growth of budget and financial supporting related to research, Providing laboratory facilities and Training courses related to Methods of writing scientific articles could be useful and effect on quality and quantity of Scientific Production increasing.
