The present study was conducted with the aim of "analyzing the innovation and technological attractiveness of Iranian universities based on the applicability of scientific and technological products in the Web of Science citation database and the Iranian Intellectual Property Center". The research method was analytical using documentary method. The research population includes productions 44686 scientific and 46861 patents from during the period 2010 to 2020. The results showed that the scientific production of universities has been growing, but the patents of these universities have been severely reduced. The largest share in scientific productions belongs to Tehran University of Medical Sciences and the largest share in patents belongs to Amirkabir University. The three thematic areas of energy, materials and chemistry in the scientific productions of universities are the most researched and the field of operations; Transportation and human needs in patents. The most productive field and the field of textiles, paper was the least productive field in universities. Jafari, a researcher at Isfahan University of Technology, was recognized as the most prolific writer and researcher naji at Amirkabir University. The results indicate that there is no significant correlation between scientific products and university patents and universities have not been able to turn their theoretical and scientific knowledge into applied knowledge. Officials should lead the country's universities to Three-generation universities, so that an innovation-based economy can be achieved by turning knowledge into technology and creating innovation and scientific knowledge will be applied and scientific productivity will be achieved.

Examining the scientific output of universities and higher education institutions is a crucial aspect of evaluating their performance. This assessment helps monitor productivity and ensures that universities are achieving their goals while progressing in the right direction to address the challenges facing the country. Scientometric studies offer a comprehensive approach for evaluating research publications and measuring the productivity of universities. Among the most common and effective methods for assessing scientific output is the analysis of scientific resources, particularlythe indexed articles authored by faculty members and researchers in reputable global databases. This analysis includes examining distribution trends, growth rates, identifying active researchers, and determining scientific collaboration networks and thematic clusters. By creating maps of scientific output and analyzing the strengths and weaknesses of the university in this area, we can develop solutions aimed at enhancing both the quality and quantity of scientific production. Additionally, strategic planning should be implemented to improve the university's ranking indicators at both national and international levels. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to assess the scientific output of faculty members at Golestan University by utilizing data from the Scopus citation database through scientometric methods.
The current research is a descriptive cross-sectional study with an applied approach, aimed at investigating the state of scientific production at Golestan University based on scientometric indicators. The statistical analysis of all scientific outputs from Golestan University was conducted based on first-degree publications indexed in the Scopus database up to July 29, 2024. Data analysis and the creation of scientific maps were performed using Excel, BibExcel, and VOSviewer software.
2165 scientific productions of Golestan University have been indexed in the Scopus database since 2007, and based on the results of data analysis, the growth trend of scientific productions during the study period is sinusoidal. The highest number of scientific productions in 2022 and the highest number of scientific productions in the form of scientific research articles (1999 documents) have been published. The subject areas of chemistry, material science, physics, and astronomy have the largest number of scientific productions, and Ghasem Bahlakeh, Ali Akbar Dehno Khalaji, and Ali Derakhshan were identified as the authors with the largest share of scientific productions. The most international cooperation has been with the Czech Republic, England, and the United States. This university has had the most national scientific cooperation with the Institute of Color Science and Technology, the University of Tehran, and the Golestan University of Medical Sciences. The results of the analysis of the co-occurrence network of vocabulary and thematic clusters of scientific productions of Golestan University show a focus on hot research topics, consisting of 6 clusters. These clusters are respectively: "Synthesis and structural analysis of advanced materials", "Nanomaterials and environmental simulations", "Electrochemical corrosion and metal protection methods", "Clinical studies and medicinal effects on humans", "Biogeography and morphology in Geological Courses", and "Advanced Materials and Nanomaterials".
The results of this research highlight the strengths and weaknesses of the scientific productions of Golestan University, which by analyzing them and providing solutions to strengthen the strengths and reduce and eliminate the weaknesses can be used to improve the position of Golestan University and increase its rank in the ranking systems. National and international universities should be planned. Conducting similar researches in other reference databases and repeating such researches in a multi-year period can be effective for improving planning and correct scientific policy in line with the sustainable development of Golestan University at the national and international level.

The Internet of Things is a connected network consisting of several nodes and provides tools for more convenient use of library services, which in addition to improving library processes, increases efficiency and improves library services. Therefore, the purpose of this research is to identify the advantages and challenges of Internet of Things in libraries and information centers in order to provide a coherent classification and perspective for the future research of Internet of Things in these centers using a systematic review technique.

The current research is applied in terms of purpose and in terms of research, it is a qualitative study that was conducted using a systematic review technique. The method of conducting this research is that first the research problem was formulated and then the texts related to the purpose of the research were studied and then the search strategy was determined and then the data was extracted from Scopus and Weboscience databases. After retrieving 2335 documents from the two databases in question, the data were merged with each other and overlapping items were removed. Finally, the necessary components were identified from the 42 selected studies,

In this research, the advantages, challenges and type of technology used to use the Internet of Things in libraries and information centers were selected for the final analysis. According to the concepts obtained with the objectives of the research, each of them was categorized in a similar concept. Based on the findings, it was found that the advantages of Internet of Things in three categories, online service infrastructure including 8 concepts; Complex control infrastructure including 16 concepts, physical infrastructure including 7 concepts, and the challenges of using Internet of Things were placed in three categories of online service infrastructure including 7 concepts, complex control infrastructure including 8 concepts, physical infrastructure (building smartness) including 6 concepts, and technology RFID was the most widely used technology to implement the Internet of Things.

Internet of Things is one of the most appropriate technologies in the current era in providing services and controlling library systems due to its high capability in facilitating, controlling and high efficiency in services and work processes in libraries. But according to the results, the application of this technology is faced with challenges such as lack of sufficient equipment, financial and administrative costs, lack of expert staff to repair the equipment when it breaks down, lack of familiarity of librarians with this technology, and high costs for its maintenance. There is no doubt that the use of Internet of Things technology in libraries will create a better future for libraries, however, the degree of acceptance by libraries and the use of this technology in the library depends on the challenges faced by libraries in using How many libraries will welcome this technology. Therefore, the use of this technology in libraries requires reflection by the authorities in this regard. Therefore, the use of this technology in libraries requires reflection by the authorities in this regard.

Paying attention to local and regional issues and conducting research in alignment with these challenges is one of the most important principles for progress and development in a country. Therefore, the aim of the current research is to analyze the local and regional issues and challenges in the research outputs and doctoral dissertations of scientific institutions in Iran.

The current research is an applied study with a quantitative-qualitative approach, conducted using scientometric techniques and thematic analysis. The research community includes doctoral theses and research projects from Shiraz, Yazd, and Ilam universities. The data collection method involved sending requests to the respective universities in these three public universities and compiling information related to research projects and doctoral dissertations. Data was gathered by reviewing the doctoral dissertations and research projects of the mentioned universities, and relevant information was organized using Excel and RavaRmatrix software. Descriptive statistics were employed for data analysis. Additionally, UciNet, Pajak, and VOSviewer software were used to create scientific maps.

The number of research projects and doctoral dissertations addressing local and regional issues in the three studied universities is very low. However, based on the challenges mentioned in the documents above, it was found that the universities paid insufficient attention to local and regional issues in their research for various reasons. Undoubtedly, the country’s development relies on solving local and regional challenges.

Emphasizing local and regional issues is a key factor for economic dynamism, maintaining ideals, achieving endogenous development, and contributing to the country’s prosperity. This necessitates proper planning and increased attention in upstream documents.

Human life has always been subject to crisis. The important thing in dealing with a crisis is the appropriate response. The emergence of information technology has provided crisis managers with the best possible potential and capacities for crisis management. Today, managers should always be ready to deal with crises. These crises can be economic and financial or natural events such as storms, floods, tsunamis, or disease outbreaks. Managers who have not taken measures in advance to deal with such events will lose more. No one is aware of the crisis in advance. Expert managers have basic plans to deal with such situations. To overcome uneven events, managers should use the experiences of their predecessors to get acquainted with crisis coping strategies. Not all managers can overcome the crisis. However, if the managers in their organization believe in crisis management as an inseparable part of their strategic management responsibility, the probability of confronting a crisis will be significantly reduced. Crisis management activities are performed in three stages before the crisis, during the crisis, and after the crisis. The first step consists of the actions needed to prevent the crisis. This stage is the first step in identifying and diagnosing the crisis and also gathering information to deal with the crisis. The second stage includes the stage of crisis occurrence. In this stage, it is necessary to gather information to diagnose the causes of the crisis. The third stage is the actions that must be taken after the crisis. At this stage, we had to ensure that the crisis has resolved or not. Also, learning from the crisis so that it does not happen again occurs at this stage. The crisis is a test for stability in a system. A crisis is an unusual situation in which a problem or sudden event occurs that is not predictable. Etymologically, the word crisis has been derived from the Greek language. In ancient Greek, the word crisis (κριςις) means "judgment" or "decision". The crisis means that it is necessary to make a decision that has not been made before. In the 21st century, the growth of information technology and the expansion of research has created a significant increase in the understanding of the challenges of crisis management when facing a crisis to reduce victims, and thanks to technology and the use of communication technologies, crisis management has become more realistic. During crisis management, by using correct communication, participation, coordination, and integration in information systems play an important role in crisis control. In a crisis, those affected perceive, process, and act on information differently than in non-crisis times. One of the applications of information technology in crisis management is "crisis informatics". Crisis informatics deals with the relationship between people, organizations, information, and technology during a crisis. Crisis informatics means the knowledge of receiving and transmitting information. In other words, crisis computing is the science of information processing and information systems. On the other hand, inaccuracy in choosing and publishing news and information in crisis conditions can be called crisis informatics. The expansion of social media such as Facebook, and Twitter, search based on people, and response to the crisis of Google, YouTube, and Flickr has changed the face of information management in critical situations. One of the capabilities of information science specialists is information monitoring. Information specialists can identify which information is fake and which is valid through information review. Therefore, experts in this field can play an influential role in preparing information reports for decision-makers. Also, by producing correct and reliable content, they should prevent the information confusion of the public. Considering that information forms the link between crisis management, crisis informatics, and information science, the present study was conducted to explain the role and functions of information science in crisis informatics.

 The current research was conducted using a library method with an analytical approach and after reviewing previous studies to identify concepts related to the concept of crisis informatics. In this study, researchers first searched for materials related to the purpose of the research using keywords (crisis informatics, disaster informatics, informatics patterns of crisis, information science and crisis, information science and disasters, crisis informatics in disasters and social media) in databases including Google Scholar, Emerald, WebOscience, Scopus, ScienceDirect paid. The researchers examined the recovered. After reviewing the found texts, the researchers selected the related materials based on the purpose of the research and presented them in this article. In this research, by examining the concept, history, and patterns of information flow in crisis informatics and the role of information science specialists, an analytical review has been made on the importance of the role and position of information science specialists as crisis informatics in times of crisis.

 The findings showed that although the importance of social media in a crisis is critical to researchers and many studies have covered it and paid attention to its role in gathering information during a crisis as well as providing aid, so far Informing people when dangerous events occur in social networks has not been given serious attention. Self-coordination through social media among citizens and providing aid to fellow citizens, through the advice of shared posts, helps to improve crisis conditions, and authorities use media for public communication during a crisis. However, obstacles such as the lack of personnel to verify and disseminate information are still challenges to the efficient use of social media by authorities. Also, data mining of citizens' behaviors is one of the issues through which authorities can identify wrong information and deal with it. Officials and crisis managers can identify the fundamental gaps in society and take action to solve them by obtaining public information. In social networks, due to the existence of two types of official and unofficial information, the flow of communication is also two-way. This means that both people and authorities send and receive information. As a result, the main focus of crisis informatics is information. These findings show that providing information during a crisis, especially health information to accident victims, is still a challenge, despite the commonality of crisis informatics and information science, no independent research has yet addressed this issue. At the same time, the common point of information science and informatics is the crisis and the main topic of both information. Information science specialists can play an essential role in crisis informatics due to their capacities to produce reliable information, verify information, manage and set up information systems, create databases, and facilitate and accelerate information recovery.

Crisis informatics is a field of study that has received much attention and is proliferating. And its importance during the last decade has made it a subject area of research activities. This relatively new field has emerged to ensure that the full potential of information and communication technologies is maximized to improve decisions and actions at various stages of crisis management. Examining the definitions shows that crisis informatics is sometimes defined only in interaction with social networks (Palen et al., 2020), and sometimes it is generally understood in interaction with technology (Soden, 2017; Palen et al., 2009). In some cases, it has been proposed as a social system that is created as a result of communication between different groups (Soden, 2017; Palen and Soden, 2018; Palen and Anderson, 2016). But the commonality of all the above definitions can be seen as the existence of the social system and the interaction of humans and information. This field collects data from social reactions to crises and incidents and analyzes the results. Based on this, crisis informatics can be defined as the response of human groups to crises and incidents in the context of information technology. The increasing importance of social media in conflicts and crises has made people use them with more interest. People share feelings, thoughts and images with their friends on these media. During the crisis, this process increases. Most important events are quickly released to the public before they even hit the news. Although information on social networks may contain true and false information, including rumors. But these media are among the most important media for providing information about accidents and the condition of people who have been injured. Research on crisis informatics and social media has also shown that emergency services departments can use social media to obtain valuable information (e. g. eyewitness reports, images, or videos) that help them Inform about disaster situations so that they can send their immediate aid. Of course, due to the emerging nature of crisis informatics, we can expect to see more precise and more developed definitions in the future. Of course, the maturity of the field of crisis informatics requires providing a comprehensive, accurate, and precise definition, which in this study was tried to be formulated based on the theoretical background of the research.The review of informatics literature also showed that this emerging field is an interdisciplinary research field that includes several different disciplines. Among them, the field of information and communication technology, health/medicine, and information systems play the most crucial role. It was also found that despite the centrality of information and its importance in the crisis, so far no research has been done on the role of information science and information specialists in informatics. Because information is very critical in all stages of a crisis and, accordingly, crisis informatics, the field of information science can play a crucial role in the best performance of crisis informatics. Validation of information was identified as one of the functions of this field, because the combination of a large volume of official information sources and content produced by citizens adds to the information load in crises. This increases uncertainty and difficulty in deciding who and what sources are trustworthy. Deciding which information providers and sources to trust in a crisis is very essential because acting on reliable information can shape and influence the nature of the crisis. Verification of the accuracy of this information can be done by experts in the field of information science.Providing the information needs of people involved in the crisis, such as citizens, organizations, non-governmental groups, etc., can also be included in the scope of the duties of specialists in the field of information science. One of the primary needs after a crisis is accurate information, and this is what information specialists and librarians are trained for. This group can provide critical information to support the performance of local authorities, emergency managers, police, fire, and medical personnel. Librarians are trained to provide accurate information in various formats and are fast to solve problems. Most importantly, the general public considers librarians to be closer, more accessible, and more reliable than the employees of government agencies. Also, the organization of information recovery tools can be part of the roles of this field in crisis informatics. Controlling and directing the correct flow of information, and designing and implementing banks and information systems are also included in the activities of specialists in the field of information science. Summarized to the "right" person at the "right" time using a suitable platform for specific needs and groups. With population growth and ecological changes (such as climate changes, nature changes, and the destruction of many non-renewable natural resources), it is necessary to think of measures to prevent abnormal events in emergencies. The emergence of artificial intelligence technology and its use in information systems as well as social networks promises that the use of this technology will be fruitful in investigating the possibility of accidents and it is easy to provide people with the correct information in an intelligent way. Also, the authorities will strengthen their communication with the community through this technology. Promoting smartphones and increasing bandwidth to high-risk areas will also facilitate data recovery in times of crisis and increase self-organization among people affected by accidents.

The combination of ontology-based retrieval systems leads to the semantic retrieval of words. The aim of this study was to review ontology articles in information retrieval using scientometric techniques.

The present study was conducted using the documentary method and word cluster analysis. The research population comprised 2595 articles indexed in two databases, Scopus and Web of Science, from 2001 to 2023. The data were analyzed using Excel, BibExcel, SPSS 26 and UCINET. VOSviewer was used to draw research maps.

The growth of articles in ontology and information retrieval was low and the annual growth rate averaged 0.11%.Stanford and California universities were the most prolific organizations, contributing to 6 articles, and the field of computer science was the most prolific with 43% of the articles written. The word clustering led to the formation of 4 thematic clusters: semantic retrieval of information, non-human ontology, classification of systems, and role of technology. In addition, there was a positive correlation between science production and centralities (degree centrality 0.323, closeness centrality 0.278, and betweenness centrality 0.447).

The evolution of the words used in the articles has shown that although the growth of article production in this field has increased from the beginning, the development of ontology technologies in information retrieval started with a weak semantic system called information classification, and after the various stages of development, it now uses machine learning to understand user requirements and process information with the help of artificial intelligence.

The current research was conducted with the aim of drawing word co-occurrence map in the field of digital transformation in the public sector in the Web of Science database.

This analytical research was carried out using scientometric techniques with library methods, vocabulary co-occurrence analysis and social network analysis. The statistical population of the research consists of 536 scientific publications in the field of digital transformation from 1996 to 2022 in the Web of Science database. Data analysis and the word co-occurrence map were done with the Excel, Bibexcel and HistCite and VOSviewer softwares.

The findings showed that the UK, Russia and India had the most publications on this subject. Dalhousie University, Plekhanov Russian University of Economics, Brunel University London were the most prolific research institutes for publications on digital transformation. Six clusters of digital transformation research were identified in the public sector, which include digital government services, digital infrastructure, digital transformation strategy, digital leadership and governance, transformative technologies, and digital innovation cluster (disruptive technologies).

The results indicate that the majority of publications have been conducted around e-government, information and communication technology, digitalization, business, digitization and digital strategy, which shows the need to pay attention to the appropriate infrastructure and transform governments to move towards digital transformation in services. The need for international cooperation is necessary for the countries to achieve such a goal.

The formation of a knowledge-based economy is one of the central policies of today's societies. The main factor of growth in this economy is the creation of technology, new knowledge, and the application of advanced technology. A knowledge-based economy is a type of economy in which the production and exploitation of knowledge play a significant role in creating wealth (Dasgupta & David, 1994). Based on this, the relationship between science and technology in the framework of pursuing sustainable economic development has received wide attention, and one of the ways to investigate the interactions between science and technology is to examine the citation between them (Looy & et al, 2003). Through the measurement of citations between scientific productions and patents, it is possible to find out their applicability and determine which researches have the potential to be commercialized. Among are universities as knowledge organizations which play an essential role in countries' economies in facilitating the formation of a knowledge-based economy. Therefore, it has become necessary to evaluate the performance of universities due to their vital role in the economic growth and social development of our society. Since these institutions are known as sources of scientific and technological production, the purpose of this research is to compare the flow of knowledge in Iranian universities and the top 100 universities worldwide by using citation measurement between articles and patents.

This research is an applied study conducted with a documentary method and a scientometrics approach. The research community was determined in a targeted manner and includes 8 top universities in Iran and 50 top universities worldwide, which were jointly present in the five ranking systems of Times, US News, Shanghai, Leiden, and SciVision. In this study, the information related to patent licenses citing articles, the number of publications citing patent licenses, the average number of patent licenses cited by the university to articles of the same university, and citing the patent licenses of each university from the SciVal database in the period, time 2009 to 2018 were extracted on June 26, 2019. Finally, the study's data were analyzed using the descriptive statistics of "Frequency Distribution and Mean" and with the help of Excel software.

Stanford University in the index of patent licenses citing articles with 12.31%, in the index of the number of publications cited in patent licenses with 11.59, in the index of the average number of patent licenses citing articles of the same university with 9.68% and in the index Citation of patents was the most frequent with 14.02%. Also, the investigation of the performance of Iranian universities and the world's top universities revealed that their activities had a negative trend based on the investigated indicators and had a poor performance in a ten year period. These results showed that the average number of patent licenses citing articles in the world's top universities is 2210.35. From 2010 to 10.41 patent licenses in 2018, and according to this index, Iranian universities from 75.75 in 2009 to 2 patent licenses. The average number of publications cited by patent licenses of the world's top universities from 504.85 in 2009 to 9.11 documents in 2018 and Iranian universities from 25.62 in 2009 to 0.375 in 2018, the average number of patent licenses in each university citing the same university's articles From 335.48 in 2009 to 1.02 in 2018, and this rate in Iranian universities have increased from 53.17 in 2009 to 0.2 in 2018, The average number of citations to patent licenses of the world's top universities reached 107 cases in 2018, from 2442.29 in 2009. Also, Iranian universities have performed 24, 17, 6, and 26 times less than the average of the top universities worldwide in all the mentioned indicators.

One of the primary, leading, prominent roles of universities is to produce usable knowledge. To attain such an aim, it is necessary to have a relationship with industries. One of the connecting factors between universities and industries is the attention to research and development and the creation of quality technology and production. The results of the present study showed that universities had performed poorly in achieving their mission. In many universities, patents are not developed simultaneously as articles. Even their scientific productions are not considered for patents and are not applied. Therefore, the publishing of articles and patent licenses to increase their number without considering their quality cannot cause economic prosperity. For this reason, universities must try to raise the quality of scientific productions and improve their rank by timely politicizing the issues on the way; solving and promoting the culture of cooperation with industry to commercialize research to achieve more efficient results.

Scientometric studies are one of the most efficient methods of scientific evaluation in a valid scientific database. Therefore, the aim of this study was to analyze the co-word analysis of scientific outputs in the field of bibliotherapy in the Web of Science (WoS).

This scientometric study was conducted using library methods and network analysis. The statistical population of this study included all documents indexed in the WoS with the subject of bibliotherapy from 1975 to 2020. Data were analyzed using Excel, Pajek, UCINET, Netdraw and VOSviewer softwares.

The results showed that the scientific outputs in the field of bibliotherapy had no appropriate growth rate, and the growth rate of the total scientific outputs in this field was 3%. The field of "psychology" was the most active one with the production of 49% of bibliotherapy studies. Based on the study of the co-word network in the field of bibliotherapy, six thematic clusters were identified. The "Bibliotherapy for children" cluster with 1013 keywords was recognized as the largest cluster, and the "Bibliotherapy" keyword with 543 frequencies was the most frequent keyword. The "Bibliotherapy" and "Depression" keywords with 153 frequencies had the most co-word occurrence. The network density was 1.26. Moreover, the keywords of bibliotherapy, depression and self-help had the highest rank centrality (100, 85.417 and 82.292), betweenness centrality (11.194, 5.378 and 4.310) and closeness centrality (100, 87.273 and 84.956), respectively.

The trend of bibliotherapy studies was poor, and the medical fields had not paid much attention to its use in the treatment of diseases. Therefore, it is necessary for health policy makers to take the necessary plans to improve and strengthen bibliotherapy studies in all areas.

Bibliotherapy is a useful treatment for the prevention and treatment of mental disorders and has led to the formation of many scientific publications in this field. The purpose of this study was to investigate the publication trends in the field of bibliotherapy and visualize the structure of its scientific collaborations based on the Web of Science database during the period 1975 to 2020.

The present scientometric study was conducted by citation analysis and social network analysis. The statistical population includes 1032 documents published. HistCite, VOSveiwer, Pajek and UciNet software were used to analyze the data. The co-authorship networks were analyzed and drawn by the VOSviewer software.

U.S., UK, and Australia were ranked first to third with 369, 148, and 91 documents respectively. The documents published by researchers from these three countries have received 10547, 3459, and 3041 citations, respectively. The Universities of Alabama, Nevada, and the Karolinska Institutet in Sweden published the most in this field, with 29, 26, and 21 documents. Scogin F, Cuijpers P, and Rohde P were the most prolific authors with 29, 21, and 17 documents, respectively. Miller WR, Cuijpers P, and Andersson G received the most citations with 2441, 2298, and 1750, citations respectively. UK with 63 degree centrality, U.S. the most influential country with a betweenness centrality of 191.450 and the closeness centrality of the 80 were the most influential countries, and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam with a betweenness centrality of 1416.755 and a closeness centrality of 658 and the Karolinska Institute with a degree centrality of 43 was the most influential organizations. Rohde P with 39-degree centrality and Cuijpers P with 314.500 betweenness centrality and 821 closeness centrality were the most active author in the co-authorship networks in bibliotherapy. Journal of Clinical Counseling and Psychology was the most cited and the Journal of Poetry Therapy published the most documents.

Paying more attention than before to the cooperation of countries, universities and active authors in the field of bibliotherapy can lead to more knowledge and experience exchange in developed and developing countries.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the research indexed in the Scopus database, related to the field of social services of public libraries from 1939 to 2020.

 This research is an applied study that has been done by library and Scientometrics methods. The research community consists of 1465 articles in English. Excel software, descriptive statistics (frequency distribution) were used to analyze the data and VOS viewer, pajek, Ucinet and Net Draw were used to draw the maps.

The highest growth trend of scientific productions was recorded in the period 1979-1983 with 3% and the lowest growth trend was recorded in the period 2019-2020 with 0.61%. The University of Maryland is the most active organization in the field with 28 degrees. In the field of scientific production, the United States alone is at the top with 37%. According to the most frequent words, the main concepts were classified into five clusters.

The 81-year period showed that the scientific production of social services in public libraries has been increasing. Among domestic universities, Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences is in a better position than other domestic universities. "The role of the public library", "Citizens' social participation", "Media literacy and information literacy", "Social capital" and "Scientific communication" are the thematic clusters of research in this field.Value: This is the first research with a quantitative approach that seeks to investigate research in the field of public library social services that can be useful for policy makers in

Today, when economic conditions are based on knowledge, increasing the cooperation of universities in the science and technology activities of the industrial sector is one of the most important categories. The aim of this study was to conduct a comparative evaluation of the Iranian universities in the science and technology activities of industrial sector and top universities around the world.

This research which is applicable in purpose and documentary in method performed using comparative citation analysis method. The population of the study was all the world's top universities indexed in the top five ranking systems of the Times, US News, Shanghai, Leiden and CiVision. Moreover, all of their science and technology activities were recorded at the Scopus from 2009 to 2018. The data were extracted from SciVal and analyzed with descriptive statistics method and Excel.

Sharif University of Technology with 0.6% and Stanford University with 7.3% had the best performance in cooperation with industry and the research findings indicated that the average cooperation of university and industry at the Iranian universities was 0.33 and at the universities of the world was 5.3. Findings related to comparing universities also showed that the level of cooperation between the world's top universities and industry reached from 5.19% in 2009 to 5.38% in 2018 and cooperation between universities and industry in Iran reached from 0.26% in 2009 to 0.35% in 2018, indicating an increasing trend. Besides, the average cooperation of top universities in Iran with industry compared to the world’s top universities is16 times less than the global average.

The university and industry relationship in Iran is very low and less than the global average. The results of this study can be used in science and technology policies and achieving the goals of the 1404 vision document of the country and can improve the gap created between science and technology in the country by strengthening the relationship between university and industry.
