Read More Background: Research is essential for development. In other words, scientific developmentof each country can be evaluated by researchers’ scientific production. Understandingand assessing the activities of researchers for planning and policy making is essential. Thesignificance of collaboration in the production of scientific publications in today’s complex worldwhere technology is everything is very apparent. Scientists realized that in order to get their workwildly used and cited to by experts, they must collaborate. The collaboration among researchersresults in the development of scientific knowledge and hence, attainment of wider information.The main objective of this research is to survey scientific production and collaboration rate inphilosophy and theoretical bases of medical library and information sciences in ISI, SCOPUS,and Pubmed databases during 2001‑2010. Materials and Methods: This is a descriptive surveyand scientometrics methods were used for this research. Then data gathered via check list andanalyzed by the SPSS software. Collaboration rate was calculated according to the formula.Results: Among the 294 related abstracts about philosophy, and theoretical bases of medicallibrary and information science in ISI, SCOPUS, and Pubmed databases during 2001‑2010, theyear 2007 with 45 articles has the most and the year 2003 with 16 articles has the least numberof related collaborative articles in this scope. “B. Hjorland” with eight collaborative articles hadthe most one among Library and Information Sciences (LIS) professionals in ISI, SCOPUS,and Pubmed. Journal of Documentation with 29 articles and 12 collaborative articles had themost related articles. Medical library and information science challenges with 150 articles hadfirst place in number of articles. Results also show that the most elaborative country in termsof collaboration point of view and number of articles was US. “University of Washington” and“University Western Ontario” are the most elaborative affiliation from a collaboration point.Conclusion: The average collaboration rate between researchers in this field during the yearsstudied is 0.25. The most completive reviewed articles are single authors that included 60.54%of the whole articles. Only 30.46% of articles were provided with two or more than two authors.
