Abstract

Introduction: The number of citations received by articles is a key indicator of a journal's quality and effectiveness within its field. This, in turn, influences the ability to secure funding for ongoing publication, establishing a suitable policy for its promotion, and helping researchers selecting an appropriate journal to publish their findings or find information they require. Meanwhile, one way to measure a journal's technological impact is to examine the patent citations attached to its articles. This study aims to evaluate the technological impact of BioImpacts (BI) by examining the patents’ citations to its articles.

Methods: This descriptive study was conducted using the bibliometric method with a technological impact approach. The published BI belonged to the years 2011-2023. Data were extracted using the Lens and Espacenet databases. Descriptive statistics and Excel software were applied for data analysis.

Results: The results revealed that BI had a 10% technological impact. Original research contributed to most of the cited articles (27). American patents were the most impacted by BI’s articles. Moreover, human necessities (A) and chemistry and metallurgy (C) were two main technological sections influenced by BI’s articles. The most active and influential country was Iran and the most active and influential organization was Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.

Conclusion: Based on the present research findings, the technological impact of BI is considerable; so, it is important to present information about this issue on the journal’s website and adopt appropriate policies for further development of BI in this field.
