Background: Pharmaceutical theses including medicinal plants subjects are invaluable informative sources. If they are disseminated properly, many research problems can be solved. Unfortunately, theses results are almost ignored. Content analysis is a bibliometrics technique that is applied in many subjects to help us know what the researchers have done before. Another way of information dissemination about the results of theses is through publishing in the scientific research journals. In this article, the medicinal plants theses conducted in the years between 1998 and 2006 have been analyzed and searched in the SID database to determine the number of theses that have been published as articles in scientific journals. Methods: The Technique used in this descriptive research is content analysis. This survey aims at specifying medicinal plants, according to their family, genus and species in the medicinal plants theses and their subject. Besides, the SID database was searched to determine the number of theses that their results have been published as journal articles. Results: The results indicated that medicinal plants theses comprised %20 of total theses. The family of "Labiatae" including 24 genus and 36 species and the genus "Tanacetum" including 13 species showed the great variation. Most of theses were about the specieses "danae racemosa" & "zataria multiflora". The Main subjects of dissertations were "phytochemistry", "pharmacological effects" and "essential oils". Only %7.4 of theses was published as articles in the scientific journals. Conclusion: publishing of the result of theses as scientific articles plays very significant role in pharmaceutical information dissemination. The Pharmacy faculties should be aware of the past researches to orient the students to choose the appropriate theses' subjects. Making data bases could be useful in this regard.

Background: One of the most important aspects of research is the evaluation of scientific production, and this is important in traditional medicine due to its specific application in the treatment of diseases today.
Objective: The purpose of this study was to analyze the scientific products of faculty members of Traditional Medicine in Iranian Medical Sciences Universities indexed in Scopus Citation Database between 2005 and 2015.
Methods: This study is a descriptive survey with scientometric approach. Required data were extracted from Scopus Citation Database by September 21, 2015 and descriptive statistics were used to analyze the data.
Results: Scientific production of the faculty members of the traditional medicine had a sustained upward trend, Tehran University has been known as the best in production (95 certificates) and the best in citation (369 citations).Iranian Journal of Public Health and Iranian Red Crescent Medical Journal have both published the largest scientific publications of the faculty members of traditional medicine in the country (each 16 certificates). Articles of journals (58.4%) and books (15.4%) were the most used sources by traditional faculty members. 8 magazines were selected as the core journals in the field of traditional medicine; the Journal of Ethnopharmacology was the first journal in this field. The maximum rate of citations is related to the references since 2007 to 2015.
Conclusion: Access of researchers to core journals in the field of traditional medicine through valid databases, increase the research budgets, apply incentive programs, facilitation for sabbatical leaves, and the provision of research laboratories are some ways to Improve the quality and quantity of scientific production in this field.
