Theories of translation are either reductionist or holistic. While reductionist theories only cover some specific areas, holistic theories cover all kinds of translations. Skopos theory is one of the holistic theories of translation. This study explores this theory and some of its aspects. At first, we examine the status of translation and translational action from Jean-Rene Ladmiral perspective. Then we investigate some theorists' views on Skopos theory and we see which characteristics of translation are important in their views.

The Baghdad translation school (Baker 2009) is considered as a turning point in the history of translation. The school is mainly characterized by adopting a scientific approach to and utilizing various strategies in translation practice، and by the variety of subjects translated. On the other hand، skopos theory which was first introduced by Hans Vermeer in the late 1970s is among the most important functional approaches to translation studies in which the skopos or the purpose of translation is the main criterion that determines the final product in the target text. Paying special attention to the readership in the strategies used by the translator and considering the demands of the ‘order’ placed by the translation agent as part of the process of a professional translation for the first time in the history of translation are some other distinct characteristics of skopos theory in the field of translation studies. The present research sought to study the Baghdad translation movement according to the aforementioned features of the skopos theory. The findings indicate clear manifestations of the basic characteristics of skopos theory in the Baghdad school.

Introduction: With the significant expansion of research, we are witnessing the discrediting of some scientific outputs in the field of medicine. This study endeavored to investigate the dimensions and patterns of cooperation of internationally discredited works in the field of medicine in the Scopus database. Methods: This study is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of conducting research and data analysis, it is quantitative and has been done using bibliometric analysis method and scientometric approach and illustration techniques to draw scientific collaborations. The population is all the discredited medical works available from 2016 to the end of 2020 in the Scopus database which has been done using the network analysis method. Results: The findings showed that during the period, 480 works published in Scopus database were discredited. The Unites States, England, India, and China have the highest index of centrality, intimacy, and crosscontextuality. These countries play an important role in connecting nodes and transmitting information over the network. Conclusion: Discredited articles in the United States and England have high centrality indices, which indicates the greater influence and power of these countries, which, in turn, have a greater influence on other countries in the scientific network.

Publishing advertisement through Internet channel is an issue whose importance has been doubled by commercializing web. Existence of more than 65 billion websites in the Internet has made it impossible to publish advertisement with high efficiency through this channel which seems very easy. In this respect, the present study embarks to answer the question that "what is the most appropriate website for publishing a display ad in the world of web?" Since the concept of "right website" and advertisement in the web are new issues, the combinational method of comparative-inductive is used in this study. In this regard, first a content analysis was conducted on international studies and five features influencing right website selection were identified from among 90 previous studies in the area of Internet advertisement and marketing. The key features include: quality of electronic services, user-oriented design, electronic business model, interaction, and type of website involvement. Then, considering each of the extracted features, the conceptual model of right website selection was designed and in order to evaluate the model, a 5-scale Likert format questionnaire was developed which presented each feature as a hypothesis and tested their effect on the selection of right website for publishing advertisement. Although the test was strict, all hypotheses were confirmed by the experts. After confirmation of the conceptual model, a specific methodology was designed for operationalizing the model on the basis of TOPSIS farness from and closeness to the ideal. According to this mechanism, the model of right website selection is presented. At the end, a case study was conducted to evaluate the performance of the model and the results indicated that the model possess a good operational capacity.

Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to determine various aspects of the field of "Game in Libraries" using a knowledge map. Methodology: This study is applied scientometrics research. The study population included 86 articles in the field of "Game in libraries and information literacy" that indexed in Scopus by the end of 2016. In this paper, we use Text mining analysis and social network analysis to draw a knowledge map of "Game in libraries". The overall structure of the network was investigated using metrics like density; metrics include degree centrality, betweenness centrality and eigenvector Centrality to visual representing of knowledge and determining the vacuum and density points of scientific trends of "Game in libraries". Excel and NodeXL software were utilized for data analysis. Findings: The results showed that the most important subjects in the field of "Game in libraries" were Game-based learning, Game collection development, Game programs, Game design, Game analysis, Information literacy, Library instruction, search ethics, plagiarism, and gamification. Educational games, academic libraries and game-based learning keywords ranked as the highest size. Academic libraries, public libraries, students and library collections keywords were the most effective in the network. Conclustion: Identifying different subjects of the field of game in libraries will be the most effective for the success of research projects in this field. Research such as the present study can provide a comprehensive view of long-term planning for the presentation of game programs in libraries and the use of games in library education and information literacy.
