Introduction & Objective: The present research has investigated the presence and activity of Iranian authors of cardiac surgery field in Scopus and Web of Science databases. The purpose of this research is to identify the relationship between altmetrics scores in the ResearchGate social network and scientific metrics of Scopus and Web of Science databases. Materials & Methods: This research is an applied research that has been carried out by survey-descriptive method. Scientific method has been used in this research. The research period is from 2010 to 2019. The number of these authors was 147. Due to the small number of the statistical population, sampling was not used and all authors were reviewed. Data collection tools were observation and file extraction of data obtained from Scopus database. In order to analyze the data, Pearson correlation tests and multiple linear regressions were used in Excel and SPSS software. Results: The results showed that in a period of ten years (2010-2019), 485 documents in the field of heart surgery were indexed by Iranian authors in the Scopus database. The studied documents are mostly articles. The language of most documents is English. A survey of Iranian authors of cardiac surgery in the Scopus database identified 147 people. Among the most prolific authors in the field of cardiac surgery, Fereydoun Sabzi with 26 articles has the highest number of indexed articles ever. The highest score of h-index in Scopus database (29) is related to Heidar Ali Talebi. The highest score of h-index in web of Science (31) is related to Mohammad Mahdavi, and the highest score of RG index in ResearchGate (47.79) is related to Alireza Abdi. Conclusions: In this study, it was found that there is a significant relationship between citation indices, readers, followers, publications, and RJ score in ResearchGate social network with the indexes of publications, citations, h-index and co-authorship in Scopus. On the other hand, there is no significant relationship between the interest score and followers in ResearchGate with the publishing indexes, citations, h-index and co-authorship in Scopus. In this research, it was found that the significance value of the variables of readers, followers, followers, and RJ score in ResearchGate is greater than 0.05. Therefore, these variables are ineffective in changing the number of citations received in Scopus.
