Introduction: Recent years has witnessed a great use of web2 tools in scientific societies, and Altmetrics method has received more attention by social media as a means of measuring the impact of scholarly documents. This study aims to explore the impact of Iranian pediatrics articles using Altmetrics method.

The study population consisted of 1332 research articles, review articles and conference abstracts published from Iran in the field of pediatrics at Science Citation Index Database, during 2010-2016, that 256 of them received Altmetric score. Altmetrics indicators of articles were collected using Webometric Analysis software and altmetric.com API, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS19 software.
Results: According to the findings, 256 articles out of 1332 articles in the field of pediatrics from Iran,
had altmetrics score and were mentioned in 10 social media, i.e. Mendeley, CiteULike, Weblogs, Mainstreams, Twitter, Reddit, Facebook, Pinterest, Google plus and Faculty1000. The average rank of Iranian pediatrics articles with regard to Altmetrics score was 0.43.
