Couple of days ago I had started a thread based on SCImago future prediction for science output by different nations. The thread got overwhelmed by trolls and eventually shut down. Since then I have found new information about that table which is interesting and I am putting here:
First the table showing that Iran is going to be the 4th largest science producer in the world by 2018:
SCImago Science Output Table for 2018
The table was made and published by SCImago Lab based on Scopus database analysis. SCImago Lab is a part of SCImago research group of institutes and this Lab runs the SJR site and makes all of its rankings and presentations based on Scopus and Elsevier databases. As per the SJR description: "Number of documents published during the selected year is usually called the country's scientific output."
Furthermore the table predicting science output of countries for 2018 was published on behalf of SCImago, by Dr. Félix de Moya Anegón who is a Spanish professor specializing in bibliometrics and works as the main research fellow for SCImago and SJR as well as working as a research professor for CSIS (Spanish National Research Council) and IPP (Institute of Public Goods Policies) both being Spanish government institutes.

I also found another study done in 2005 by ScienceMetrix for the Government of Canada and published by Grégoire Côté and Dr. Éric Archambault which basically had predicted that Iran's scientific output would reach the level of Canadian output in 2017.
