Abstract

Abstract
Problem statement: Considering the progress of societies in recent years and the development of scientific studies in various fields of architecture, comparing approaches in the global research movement of scholars with Iranian studies can be proof of future research needs in the field of architecture. Iranian studies have less generalizability compared to international studies. To increase their competitiveness with international studies, they need an optimal change considering domestic issues and problems.
Research objectives: The purpose of the current study is to review the scientific articles published in reputable architectural journals at the global and local levels concerning thematic focus and their research methods.
Research method: By reviewing all architectural q 1 journals of Elsevier (646 articles) and scientific research (Persian and English) journals (802 articles), published from April 2017 to March 2020, the current paper aims to study their thematic focus and research methods.
Conclusion: The statistical evaluation of the results indicates that among the 11 identified topics (sustainability, building technologies, design process, architectural layout, historical studies, semantics, environmental psychology, passive defense, management, tourism, and landscape), the focus of studies in Iranian scientific journals is mostly on “historical” and “environmental psychology” and often qualitative method (descriptive-analytical); while in architectural studies of Elsevier (q1) journals, the main concentration is on the fields of “building technology” and “design process” with quantitative method (experimental).
