Using bibliographic records from the Social Science Citation Index, Science Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Index, this paper tries to give a complete view of the characteristics of top ten Iranian authors during 1990-2007 according to their authorship pattern. Findings revealed that overwhelmingly majority of articles (97/69%) written by Iranian top authors are the result of collaborative works and the authors are highly intended towards collaborative rather than non-collaborative research. There was a remarkable relationship between co-authorship and number of citations. More-than-three-author articles received most number of citations. On the other hand, it seems that international collaboration of Iranian top authors is not significant.
