Scientific document centers are management centers for science and technology information. So, they could be considered as important mediators institutions of science and technology system in Iran. In order to investigate how these centers support institutions of science and technology policy and to ensure that there exist the relationships among these institutions, a framework is required to fill the existing gaps and find solutions for improving management and analyzing information for science and technology policy. According this, a model has been developed by mixed method in this study. Then, this model has been implemented in Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IRANDOC).Using this model, the situation of IRANDOC support of science and technology policy has been evaluated from the perspective of policy-makers and administrators and experts of IRANDOC. The results of the study show the current situation of IRANDOC support is not appropriate. Some of the activities that IRANDOC and other scientific document centers can do in support of policy-making included: Access to the infrastructure in the organization to create the knowledge and analytical information required by science and technology policy-makers; Strengthen and improve the processes of diffusion of knowledge and information required by science and technology policy-makers; Access to the infrastructure in the organization to achieve the satisfactory cooperation in science and technology policy-making; Access to the infrastructure in the organization to help to complete and strengthen the infrastructure, rules and regulations of Science and Technology; Illustrate the position of IRANDOC brand among the institutions of science and technology policy; Access to the infrastructure in the organization to set up and organize statistics systems, for scientific, research and technology information.

Today, scientific document centers face increasing demands on data collection, storage, integration, processing, and analysis for information systems and infrastructure. These centers are the most important and reliable sources of governance for the advancement of different areas of each country and their success requires proper performance. The present study was conducted to propose a data governance model in the countries scientific document centers to show how data governance should be appropriate for these scientific centers. The Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IranDoc) was selected as the study. This research has analyzed the content of texts in the field of scientific document centers with a meta-combined method. 15 articles and dissertations related to this field were purposefully selected and reviewed by qualitative content analysis. The basic model was used to design the data governance model of scientific document centers. The research findings identified five main components of data governance including "planning", "organizing and managing", "performance", "implementation" and "evaluation". These main components each have sub-components, which finally identified 38 sub-components for data governance of scientific document centers with a combination of texts. These components help to implement data governance for scientific document centers.

Objective: This study aimed to investigate world scientific productivity of Library and Information Science in the Web of Science database.Methodology: A total of 14592 papers published in 83 LIS journals and indexed in Web of Science during the years of 2007 to 2011 were analyzed. Microsoft Excel and SPSS software as well as Exponential Regression tests were used to analyze data. Moreover, UCINet and Cite Space software were utilized for mapping the collaboration and productivity of institutions and countries.Results: According to the results, the average number of citations received by each publication was 3.52. Also those papers published in 2007 had the most impact than other publications with the average citation of 12.49. The Exponential Regression test results have proven that LIS publications had %4.92 growth during the examined years. The study of the share of countries in LIS publications and citations showed that United States of America has published more than 38 percent and has received more than 42 percent of total LIS publications and citations. Results of the study revealed that Iranian LIS researchers have published 171 papers which place this country on the 20th world ranking. Additionally, Dr. Hamidreza Jamali who has published 33 papers in various LIS journals was one of the top 10 researchers worldwide.Conclusion: The growth rates of LIS publications and citations during examined years were more than previous periods, which show increase in scientific productivity and scholarly impact of this area.
