Scientometrics is one of the effective fields that emerged in recent decades. Although scientometrics is categorized under the umbrella of Library and Information Sciences, it is considered a multidisciplinary field since it employed some skills, techniques, and foundations of a variety of fields. This paper intends to discuss the multidisciplinary dimensions of Scientometrics, and show how this field can be considered as a multidisciplinary field. The conclusions show there is a strong bond between Scientometrics and some other fields and disciplines such as sociology of science, history of science, science and technology policy and management, the economy of science, and related fields to knowledge and information science. In addition, the results show scientometrics has been changed to a multidisciplinary field employing these fields and effectively serves science, technology, and innovation policy-making and management.
