Objective: The purpose of this study is to understand the scientific behavior pattern of graduate students in 2016-2017 citing the non-Persian periodicals of the university using the citation analysis method. 

Materials and Methods: The methodology of this study is descriptive-analytical method, and data is analyzed using the statistical software SPSS20 and the final report is prepared using WORD. 

Results: Totally, from 21890 references, 658 theses were evaluated. In each thesis, 33.3 references, on average, were cited. The results indicate that the most important library resources are magazines. Therefore, while providing electronic resources, the collection of magazines should not be neglected. Unused and unpublished journals should be removed from the collection and instead, journals should be provided that are most cited in the citation index of science. 

Conclusion: According to the results, first hypothesis of the study is confirmed that non-Persian periodicals are cited more than non-Persian books and other references separately. The second hypothesis of the study is confirmed that non-Persian periodicals of the university are cited more than other institutions and organizations. The third hypothesis of the study is confirmed that medical theses are cited more than Latin medical periodicals of the university.
