Background: We aimed to use the scientometric approach to evaluate immunological studies on the subject of sulfur mustard over the past 20 years. Methods: In this scientometric study, the WEB of Science Core Collection was searched on the studies about sulfur mustard. The published papers related to the field of immunology were retrieved from these papers. HistCite software and VOSviewer were the applied software packages for bibliometric analysis, information visualization, and creating bibliometric networks. Results: Over the past 20 years, 741 researchers from 22 countries have published 201 scientific papers in 95 journals. Iran and the United States with 93 and 68 published articles ranked at the top. The Journal of International Immunopharmacology, with 33 published papers, 439 Total Global Citation Score (TGCS), and 105 Total Local Citation Score (TLCS) was the most productive and most influential in this regard. The paper entitled "Biomonitoring of exposure to chemical warfare agents: A review" and another paper entitled "SardashtIran Cohort Study of Chemical Warfare Victims: Design and Methods" were the most influential papers in this topic with 2.0 TGCS and 27 TLCS, respectively. The most productive and the most influential centers were “ Immunoregulation Research Center of Shahed University” and “ The Janbazan Medical and Engineering Research Center (JMERC), ” respectively. Conclusion: The result of our report as the unique scientometric evaluation of the research on sulfur mustard and Immunology can be used as a roadmap for authors, researchers, and policymakers to define the best ways to allocate their financial and executive resources.

Distributing geographical information on the Internet is an enforcing factor for information providers. Internet allows all levels of society to access geographical information, and provides a media for processing geo-related information with no location restrictions. WEB-based GIS is evolved from different WEB maps and client-server architecture to distributed ones. As such, Internet reshapes all functions of information systems including: gathering, storing, retrieving, analyzing, and visualizing data. The high cost of GIS system, the release of system specific databases, and the enormous software developer efforts on upgrading the system are fading with the introduction of WEB-based GIS Moreover, disseminating spatial information on the Internet improves the decision-making processes.This paper examines the current WEB GIS technologies with emphasis on architectures. Eight state-of–the-art WEB GIS products from leading GIS companies have been scientifically assessed. This paper also proposes a WEB GIS development strategies starting from requirement analysis, and ending in GIS use and maintenance. Disseminating Iranian Road information on the Internet has been presented as a successful implementation of the strategy.It is concluded that the Internet based information delivery adds the margin of profitability of the Transportation and Terminal Organization. The proposed strategy has been tested successfully. Civilian can get to their destinations faster.

In recent years crowdfunding is created as a WEB 2. 0 and social network-based on financing for business startups and creative projects. This method has grown in many aspects, such as the number of platforms, the number of campaigns and their success rate, the volume of funding and the number of models offered. This growth has led researchers to investigate this phenomenon of the different dimensions and aspects. So this article is followed by a comprehensive review of the literature associated with this method. In this study, we have done a systematic review of 60 published articles until 2017 about the concept of crowdfunding. The research findings have been summarized. Moreover, the research orientation pattern has been determined by identifying the focus of great attention. Also the existing research gaps and suggestions for future research in the field of crowdfunding identified and explained. The results of the survey showed that the number of studies carried out on this new method are not very high but are increasing. It is necessary for the researchers to study this method (phenomenon) with a comprehensive and holism approach, using a review of the views of its various actors, stackholders and costumers and extracting the factors influencing the success and failure of this method.

Today, organizations including academic centers face many changes and challenges. Among these changes is the emergence of emerging technologies. Thus, lack of awareness of the emergence and strategic application aspects of existing technologies can lead organizations to irreversible crises. Among these technologies are WEB 2. 0 tools that have been the focus of this research. The purpose of this study was to identify the functions of WEB 2. 0 tools in human resource professional development. Therefore, this study has reviewed 22 articles in a systematic review of the literature and qualitative content analysis technique among the sources collected from the Scopus Scientific Database. The findings suggest that WEB 2. 0 technology has four major functions: strategies change of human resources learning process, strategies change of human resource knowledge management, strategies change of human resource interactions and communications, and strategies change of HR development perspectives in organizations. Also service provider organizations including educational, medical, and librarians were leading in using such tools for their employees' professional development processes. Finally, a conceptual framework for the function of WEB 2. 0 tools in the professional development of human resources in organizations is presented. Finally, the present study emphasizes the interaction of researchers and human resource development experts in universities and organizations. Human resource development experts are aware of the existence such tools and technologies in the course of learning and professional development of human resources and take steps to apply them.

Purpose: The purpose of the study is to determine WEBsite accessibility status of central libraries of 20 superior universities associated with Ministry of Science ‚ Research ‚ and Technology based on worldwide WEB consortium guidelines.Methodology: This paper is an applied study using evaluation method in accordance with 15 indices extracted from guidelines of WEB content accessibility of the consortium. ‚ Accessibility of 20 central libraries’ WEBsites of superior universities associated with Ministry of Science‚ Research‚ and Technology which have gained 1-20 grades due to university ranking of the Ministry‚ have been evaluated by technical method (mechanical-manual) based on indices of the first priority extracted from worldwide WEB consortium. Mechanical evaluation was performed by EvalAccess 2.0 application and manual evaluation was developed by using the checklist extracted from indices of the first priority of worldwide WEB consortium guideline.Findings: The data demonstrated that in mechanical evaluation method‚ the central library WEBsite and the document center of Gilan University with 19 points and grade 1‚ and the central library WEBsite of Mashhad Ferdosi University with 472 points and grade 18 are the most and the least accessible WEBsites respectively. In manual evaluation the average of WEBsites accessibility is 23%. Totally the accessibility rate of the WEBsites is below 50% that is too far from the desirable outcome. Finally‚ some techniques and suggestions have been offered to improve WEBsites accessibility.Conclusion: The paper is the second applied study in the field of WEBsite accessibility evaluation and the first applied study in the field of Iranian academic WEBsites accessibility evaluation. The study data may develop a global perspective to policy makers to design accessible WEBsites.
