Abstract

The present study is a scientometric analysis of research on translation history in Iran published between 1971 and 2021. To this end, 1212 relevant works were identified through databases and categorized into nine groups: works published in Iran (including monographs, book chapters, scientific journal articles, general journal articles, newspaper articles, and theses/dissertations) and works published abroad (including monographs, book chapters, and scientific journal articles). Bibliographic information of these works was then collected and analyzed using VOSviewer software. The analysis focused on five key components: language, date of publication, place of publication, top scientific journals, and top academic institutions. The findings indicate that most research on history of translation in Iran was published in Persian and English, with a relatively increasing trend over the fifty-year period. Furthermore, the majority of these works were published in cities, journals, and academic institutions that have a direct connection to the field of translation studies.
