Abstract: 

Purpose: This article gives a definition of Science map, reviews domestic and global Science map researches to introduce the criteria and mythology of such researches. Methodology: This article tries to find the theories, techniques, methods, and leaders of the Science mapping based on documentary research and literature review. Findings: Visual researches and representations of Science have been practiced for over five decades in scientometrics studies in the world; yet in Iran, it was commenced less than a decade. Despite using various techniques and survey researches, citation analysis method has been maintained its position as an accepted method for drawing the maps. Most of recent researches and studies in this area are common in using a six-stage process that begins with citation gathering, although the analysis unit can vary. Findings: These types of researches have been conducted in macro level in other countries while they have been done in micro level in Iran. In these kinds of researches, technique-oriented approach is surpassed to theory-oriented approach. Conclusion: the study revealed that books and other print materials are prior in use. Hence, use of Internet is increasing.

Abstract: 

Purpose: This research aimed to visualize the growth of Science development, scientific production, citation frequency of documents, highly cited documents, top authors, widely published journals, and significant subject categories related to documents in the field of social performance of public libraries among the countries with the most publications. Additionally, the research aim was to prepare a cooperation map and evaluate scientific productions in this field.Methods: According to the purpose of the research, the current research was of the scientometric and applied research kind, and in terms of data collection, it was a descriptive-analytical research type. This research implemented a quantitative approach and scientific indicators such as the centrality index, vocabulary co-occurrence analysis, and co-authorship networks. The data collected from the articles indexed in this database، after retrieving 278 records related to the research, data was analyzed based on the objectives of the research. To draw the networks and maps used in the present study، as well as data analysis، the software of HistCite، Gephi، Node XL, and VOSwiever were used.Findings: Findings show that scientific productions and the number of citations received in this field during the years under review had generally top and down. Highly cited articles were published in journals in the field of information Science and librarianship between 2007 and 2016. All articles in this field were written by 640 authors. The highest collaboration was among 23 authors with at least two collaborations. The rest of the authors contributed to only one work whom their affiliation were the University of Pennsylvania. The Australian National University has the highest number of intermediate centers. The order of universities also varies according to the degree of centrality index or number of collaborations. The highest correlation between the two subjects is related to the subjects of public libraries and information services with a strength of 5. After that, the highest correlation is between the subjects of social media and public libraries with a correlation strength of 4. Social acceptance with public libraries with a correlation strength of 4 and public libraries with web 2 with a correlation strength of 4.Conclusion: The most common collaborations in the production of works in the field of social performance of public libraries have been between the United Kingdom and the United States، China with the United States، Australia with the United States، and the United Kingdom with Scotland، respectively. The largest joint venture between the University of Ghana with Kuwait University of Science and Technology، and the University of Illinois with Drexel University، and the rest of the universities had a joint venture. The highest percentage of international collaboration belongs to Australia and the lowest percentage of international collaboration belongs to the United States. With a deeper study of the mentioned cases, one can better understand the limitations and challenges related to the social performance of public libraries in our country and try to fix or improve it. According to the obtained results, it is suggested that Iranian researchers enter more in this field and have scientific cooperation with the authors of other countries, scientific and research centers support and encourage Iranian writers to collaborate with writers from other countries. Particularly, Asian countries should cooperate to gain a greater share in scientific cooperation between countries.

Abstract: 

The intellectual structure of knowledge and its research front can be identified by co-word analysis. This research tries to reveal the intellectual structure of rural studies in Human Geography, using co-word analysis, network analysis, and Science Visualization tools.Bibliometric methodology and social network analysis are used as the research methods. The research population comprises 11202 records in the field of Rural Geography during 1980-2015, which have been retrieved from Web of Science. Results indicated that “China”, “Migration”, and“Poverty” are the most frequent keywords in the rural studies; and “Rural---Urban”, “China---Migration”, and “China---Poverty” are the most frequent keywords coming co-occurrence. Use of hierarchical cluster analysis in coword created 7 topical clusters in rural studies. Clusters of "rural area" and "physical and natural environment of the village" located strategically in the best condition. In general, according to the results of this research it seems that in addition to geographical factors (such as the physical, natural, and spatial analysis), economic topics including livelihoods, poverty, income, and agricultural economy have gained the interest of researchers in in rural geography.

Abstract: 

Purpose: To identify the patterns and trends of the Iranian LIS Studies and the changes made in the Intellectual structure of this field. Methodology: Using the keyword co-occurrence method and the knowledge Domain Visualization approach, the intellectual structure of LIS has been studied. The research community is all research papers and articles of conferences that have been published by Iranian researchers in the period from 1970 to 2016 in the LIS journals and indexed on the WOS. Citespace software was used to map and analyze the network of Iranian studies. Findings: Cluster analysis led to the identification of 10 clusters. Overall, it was found that the main focal points of the research are two general titles of "Science studies" and "information studies", where the share of each of these two research centers from all identified clusters was 4, 5 Cluster. The largest cluster, according to the number of nodes, was "User Studies and Systems" and the oldest cluster based on the average year of formation, "scientific collaboration. " The results of the analysis of the keywords burstness, "Internet", "World Wide Web", "User studies" and "Search engines" respectively, have attracted the most attention of the researchers of information Science and Science and are among the hot topics in the time series investigated. Conclusion: The network of the key words of Iran LIS studies is immature; so that from the total of 257 nodes present in the analysis process, 71 nodes were located between 2000 and 2009. One of the important points in reflecting on the analysis of the central nodes of the keyword network is related to the low centrality scores of the word “ library” in spite of having high occurrence frequency; which may be interpreted as the reduction of pivotal role of this concept in the LIS literature.

Abstract: 

Background and Objectives: Knowledge commercialization is a trend that a university can transfer the results of own members' research to the market to make capital. The point to be taken into account in this process is to identify and prioritize the factors contributing to the process of knowledge commercialization. It must be noted that identifying influential factors allows managers and decision makers to make decisions and determine commercialization policies. Accordingly, this research tries to identify and prioritize the factors affecting the commercialization of research results. Identifying the factors influencing the knowledge commercialization allows researchers and scholars to detect the possible barriers and anticipate removing them. Methodology: This research used qualitative approach and confirmatory factor analysis method to identify the items influencing knowledge commercialization in previous researches through library studies, then using Delphi method, it sought the opinions of knowledge commercialization experts about the identified factors in the University of Isfahan. The samples consisted of 262 faculty members and graduated students of Isfahan University in the academic year of 2018-19 who have commercialized the results of their research or planned to commercialize but failed and also were familiar with the process of knowledge commercialization. In this research, descriptive statistics including mean and standard deviation were run to calculate the opinions of experts on the indicators of knowledge commercialization. Furthermore, Kendall's coefficient of concordance (W) was used to determine the degree of unity in experts' opinions. Also, to prioritize the factors, Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) was used. Findings: Among the three factors under study, background factors with a weight of 0. 456, content factors with a weight of 0. 339, and structural factors with a weight of 0. 226 ranked the first to third priorities, respectively as the factors affecting knowledge commercialization. Applying fuzzy AHP, the sub-criteria for each of the main factors were compared as a pair. Defuzzyfication results of structural sub-criteria show that the "financial and information resources" with a weight of 0. 359, "hard capabilities, processes, technology, and capabilities" with a weight of 0. 343, and the "networking strategic links" with a weight of 0. 298 were ranked first to third, respectively. Moreover, Defuzzyfication results of the content sub-criteria show that "knowledge base and research quality" with the weight of 0. 507, "soft capabilities; human and marketing skills" with a weight of 0. 301, and "internal management of the organization" with the weight of 0. 192 were ranked first to third, respectively. Identifying the ultimate priority of indicators affecting the knowledge commercialization with the help of pairwise comparison showed that among the indicators related to the sub-criteria of financial and information resources, the index of "providing the required financial resources" with a weight of 0. 577 is the most important one. Among the indicators of strategic links, the index of "establishing strategic relations between the university and industry" with a weight of 0. 564 is in the first priority. Also, of the five indicators related to the sub-criterion of hard capabilities, the index of "creating a center / institution of commercialization" with a weight of 0. 245 is the first priority. Among the four indicators of internal management, the index of "strengthening and promoting the culture of commercialization at universities" with a weight of 0. 307 is the first priority. Furthermore, a pair comparison of the innovative infrastructure sub-criteria revealed that the "communication infrastructure" index with a weight of 0. 429 is the first priority. The fuzzy values related to the sub-criteria of the political and legal environment confirm that the index of "commercial support laws and regulations" with a weight of 0. 548 is the first priority. Among the four indicators related to the sub-criteria of "technical, economic and market environment", the index of "market needs and demand for research results" is in the first priority. Discussion: One of the obstacles to knowledge commercialization at the University of Isfahan is the lack of communication infrastructure to organize the results of academic research and provide it to related industries for exploitation. Lack of knowledge about academic researchers and the needs of the industrial sector as well as inability to communicate effectively with the industrial sector are the factors that lead to a failure in the knowledge commercialization. Obviously, the connection between university and industry will be effective in conveying the results of academic research. On the other hand, lack of information network for registering ideas, patent and research results in the Deputy of Research and communication with industry at the University of Isfahan has caused the owners of ideas and inventors to face a bulk of obstacles to transfer research results or register their ideas. The lack of supportive policies in the field of intellectual property ownership is also of the concerns in this respect. Because the lack of guarantee in the protection of intellectual property rights lead to the transfer of academic research results through the bases other than the academic ones and the role of universities in this regard be overlooked. Given the existence and occurrence of such problems, it seems necessary to design and use the information system for registering and transferring inventions by considering the laws of intellectual property owners at the University of Isfahan.

Abstract: 

Objective (s): Health psychology emphasizes the role of psychological factors in the cause, progress and consequences of health and illness. The purpose of this research was to analyze the trend of publications and illustration of investigations in health psychology during the years 2013 to 2022. Methods: The current research was a descriptive analysis carried out with a scientometric approach. The statistical population of the current research was 26,223 health psychology documents in WoS database. Data analysis was performed using Excel, Histcite and VOSviewer softwares. Results: The findings showed that 149 countries contributed to publication of health psychology documents. The USA, England and China ranked first with the publication of 53% of documents. Researchers from Iran also ranked 20th by publishing 319 documents (1.22%). The journal "Frontiers in Psychology" was recognized as the most productive and influential journal by publishing 1068 articles (4.07 percent) and receiving 15,615 citations. "University of Melbourne" with 282 articles (1.1%) was recognized as the most productive and "University of Michigan" with 10,137 citations introduced as the most influential institute. The main topics were: hot topics, notable topics, and emerging topics. Conclusion: The findings showed that during the years 2013 to 2022, the trend of publication of documents in health psychology was increased. It can be predicted that if the frequency of publications in health psychology continues its current trend, the cumulative frequency of publications in the next 10 years, i.e. 2031, will be more than doubled. Possibly it is time that health psychology research be directed towards priorities and needs of the society.

Abstract: 

The idea that Science is objective, or able to achieve objectivity, is in large part responsible for the role that Science plays within society. But what is objectivity? The idea of objectivity is ambiguous. This paper distinguishes between three basic forms of objectivity. The first form of objectivity is ontological objectivity: the world as it is in itself does not depend upon what we think about it; it is independent of human thought, language, conceptual activity or experience. The second form of objectivity is the objectivity of truth: truth does not depend upon what we believe or justifiably believe; truth depends upon the way reality itself is. The third form of objectivity is epistemic objectivity: this form of objectivity resides in the scientific method which ensures that subjective factors are excluded, and only epistemically relevant factors play a role in scientific inquiry. The paper considers two problems that arise for the notion of epistemic objectivity: the theory-dependence of observation and the variability of the methods of Science. It is argued that the use of shared standard procedures ensures the objectivity of observation despite theory-dependence. It is argued that the variability of methods need not lead to an epistemic relativism about Science. The paper concludes with the realist suggestion that the best explanation of the success of the Sciences is that the methods employed in the Sciences are highly reliable truth-conducive tools of inquiry. The objectivity of the methods of the Sciences leads to the objective truth about the objective world.

Abstract: 

The Abrahamic religions include the three monotheistic religions of Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. All of these religions consider Abraham as their ancestor, and they consider Science to be the knowledge of the universe and humanity, which are divine revelations. The framework of Science in the Abrahamic religions uses three basic concepts: 1) monotheism (as a fundamental principle, a single and all-encompassing Divine vision) 2) the universe (as a divine creation) 3) Science (as an all-encompassing knowledge about the world as the sign of God). The purpose of writing this paper is to find the common principles governing Science among Abrahamic religions, using a descriptive-analytical method based on library sources. The results of this research is an intellectual attempt to draw on the commonalities between various Abrahamic religions in the areas of constructive dialogue in the field of globalization, based on revelatory and spiritual teachings, to achieve the unification of the world, which is one of the divine promises and is rooted in the natural foundations of humanity.

Abstract: 

Objective: One of the main aspects of scientific journals is their scientific output, i. e. their published papers. The scientific output of a journal should be evaluated from a scientometric perspective regularly for its development in the field, determining highly-productive and more influential authors, co-authorship patterns, co-word occurrences, keyword clusters and so on. This study aimed at evaluating the research performance and visualizing the scientific maps of the Library and Information Science Quarterly in the 10-year time span of 2009-2018. Methodology: This study is an applied scientometric analysis. All 370 published papers of the journal published in its 40 issues and indexed in the Islamic Science Citation Index (ISC) in the time span of 2009-2018 were extracted and needed data were modified by a predetermined protocol and the output was mapped and analyzed in different appropriate software packages (NetDraw for mapping co-authorship patterns, VOSviewr for visualizing keyword cooccurrences and Ucinet for determining the authors' centrality rankings). Findings: The geographical distribution of authoring institutes showed that authoring institutions were from different universities in Iran with Ferdowsi University of Mashhad in the first rank. The highly-productive and most influential authors' status regarding their published papers, received citations and h-indices were appropriate in the journal, as they were affiliated to some main research institutes and universities active in the field of library and information Science in Iran. The co-authorship pattern was mainly two-authored collaboration. Collaborating authors' degree, betweenness and closeness centrality rankings showed their effective relationship and interaction with each other in the field. The keyword co-occurrence map showed the journal's attention to the topics in library and information studies, including among others university libraries and their users. The mapped subject clusters showed 8 subject clusters and demonstrated that the journal prioritized scientometrics and Science policy-making and knowledge organization as well as the library management. Conclusion: This journal has found its way in the field of Library and Information Science. The subjects that were considered in the journal accord with those of the World. As receiving more citations is a main indicator for conceiving a journal as an influential journal in its field, in spite of ever-increasing influence of this journal on the library and information field, the total ratio of citations per paper should be increased by making the journal more available and the share of newly-emerged topics need to be increased in authoring for it. These can be helpful in making the journal more prolific and influential in Iran's Library and Information field more than ever.

Abstract: 

Introduction: From a long time ago, benefiting from technology has been an inevitable thing for human interests, which is born and based on Science. It can be claimed that there is harmony between ethics, Science and technology, which promote each other. In this article, the researcher discusses this harmony and compatibility. Material and Methods: The current review study was descriptive and using the study of sources and research keywords among the books and articles published in the databases of Thomson Information Institute, Science Direct and Pub Med. Conclusion: As Science and technology continue to advance and become more integrated into our daily lives, ethical considerations become increasingly important. For example, the rise of artificial intelligence (AI) has raised questions about the potential implications of creating machines that can make autonomous decisions and take actions. If Science and technology were considered as a tool, it should have been able to subjugate humans and influence all aspects of behavior and values. While it has become a problem that eventually becomes aligned with morality by applying reason, and people now seek help from it as a tool.
