This study aimed to analysis the co-authorship and co-word analysis of curriculum management and planning research in Iran (years 2009 to 2019).

The present study was an applied and the statistical population of this study included 2466 indexed articles in the field of management and curriculum planning in the Iranian Science Citation index database. To analyze the research data, Bibexcel, Vosviewer" and "Ucinet" software packages were used.

The average participation of authors per article was 2.72%. "Kourosh FathiVajargah" with 36 articles and "Abbas Bazargan" with 60 citations to his 15 articles were the top authors in terms of number of articles and citations to articles, respectively. 87.3% of the articles were published in groups and 44.3% did not receive citations at all. "Kourosh FathiVajargah-Mahboubeh Arefi" with 13 joint articles, was the best couple in the field. The largest co-authorship network consisted of 103 authors, with Kourosh Fathi Vajargah being the top author in terms of centrality indicators. "University", "higher education" and "achievement" were the three most frequent keywords. The subject clusters were: "Achievement", "Curriculum planning", "Academic self-efficacy", "Educational needs assessment", "Transformational leadership" and "Organizational climate".

It is needed that authors in the field pay more attention to co-authirship for area progress. It is necessary for the authors of this field to pay more attention to the issues and topics of curriculum planning around the axis of primary and secondary education in comparison with the higher education level.

Public libraries are among the essential pillars of a democratic society, serving as symbols of social progress and civil pride in the pursuit of lifelong learning. As these libraries cater to various segments of society, trained and knowledgeable personnel, referred to as librarians or information specialists, play a crucial role in identifying and meeting users' information needs. In line with their responsibilities towards different societal groups, they must adapt their service delivery methods concurrently with societal advancements. Today, with recent technological advancements, achieving this requires librarians to primarily possess digital literacy.

Given recent technological advancements, it has been established that primarily, librarians must possess digital literacy skills. On the other hand, previous research indicates that most managers believe a precise understanding of personality traits is crucial in management science because individuals' personality structures significantly influence their perception, evaluation, and response to the environment (Rostami et al., 2009). One of the most effective and comprehensive theories proposed regarding personality is the Five-Factor Model by Costa and McCrae (1992). According to this theory, the personality structure comprises hierarchical dimensions of Neuroticism, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Agreeableness, and Conscientiousness. Conscientiousness, or Dutifulness, is at the highest level and can be broken down into lower-level facets or traits. Additionally, studies show that digital literacy skills correlate with various managerial dimensions, highlighting the significance of identifying the personality structure of human resources, particularly in organizations. According to White (2002), personality traits can be utilized to predict behaviors and job performance of individuals. Since public libraries are among the centers that, in comparison to other types of libraries, serve as crucial informational hubs to various segments of society, they are considered one of the most significant cultural bases. Therefore, in this regard, the personality of librarians can undoubtedly be influential. Their manner of interaction can play a pivotal role in attracting users to libraries. Therefore, this research aims to determine the relationship between personality traits and digital literacy skills among librarians in public libraries of a practical nature, employing a survey method.

Data collection involved using two questionnaires: the McCrae and Costa personality traits questionnaire and the digital literacy skills questionnaire. The statistical population of this research comprised 170 librarians from public libraries in Kermanshah province, with a sample size of 118, determined using Morgan's table. Data analysis was performed using descriptive and inferential statistics with the SPSS software.

The correlation coefficient between personality traits and digital literacy skills was positive and equal to 0.48, indicating a moderate correlation between these two variables. Furthermore, the correlation coefficients between the personality traits of Neuroticism, Extraversion, Agreeableness, Openness to Experience, and Conscientiousness with digital literacy skills were positive, and based on the regression line slope in the scatterplot, Extraversion, Openness to Experience, Conscientiousness, Agreeableness, and Neuroticism had the greatest to least impact on this relationship, respectively.

The results of the present study revealed that the most influential trait in digital literacy is neuroticism. Perhaps one of the major reasons for the significant relationship between neuroticism and digital literacy is the presence of strong and face-to-face interactions with visitors, high motivation, and attention to career advancement. It's possible that one of the reasons many librarians gravitate towards digital literacy skills is to find relief from obsessive thoughts, anxiety, and life stresses. Another reason could be that the virtual world serves as an escape for librarians from stress, fear, and life difficulties. Therefore, it can be said that personality traits, particularly neuroticism, predict librarians' use or non-use of digital literacy skills. Consequently, individuals high in neuroticism may be attracted to and develop a habit of acquiring digital literacy skills due to the presence of these traits and their inability to cope with such problems, seemingly helping them overcome feelings of loneliness, boredom, and inadequacy.

In conclusion, the findings of this research provide a clear representation of the relationship and role of librarians' personality traits in digital literacy skills. It is essential for librarians to become aware of their weaknesses in terms of digital literacy skills and take the initiative to enhance their knowledge in this area. Digital literacy skills undoubtedly assist librarians in this regard. If librarians lack sufficient digital literacy skills, they will not be able to provide better services to users based on modern search techniques and information retrieval methods.

Engaging in research and familiarizing oneself with the research field are integral aspects of student development programs, particularly at postgraduate level. This study aims to analyze and map the co-authorship network within publications produced by the student research committee of Iran's Ministry of Health and Medical Education.

This is an applied research that utilizes scientometric techniques. The research community includes 2178 documents with the organizational affiliation of the Student Research Committee of Medical Sciences Universities of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, which were retrieved from the Scopus database from 1985 to 2023. After data cleaning in Excel software and data homogenization, the data were transferred to BibExcel for frequency analysis. Subsequently, UCINET software was employed to calculate the correlation and centrality matrix. Furthermore, VosViewer software was used to visualize the data through network maps.

An analysis of student research committee publications revealed 900 co-authored articles. Salari and Mohammadi exhibited the highest co-authorship frequency, with 10 publications. The findings showed that 38 countries participated in the scientific productions of the student research committee. America and England have cooperated the most with authors of student research committees with 58 and 14 scientific publications, respectively. Yousefi, Nouri, and Mohammadi emerged as the most prolific research committee authors. Sadeghi got the highest score in terms of centrality index and Karimi got the highest score in terms of closeness and intermediateness index. Furthermore, the five-author co-authorship pattern represented the most prevalent format (19.04%), with the single-author format accounting for less than 1% of publications.

In studies by student research committee, the five-author co-authorship pattern has been the dominant pattern among the scientific documents of the student research committees, which indicates proper scientific cooperation among students.

The issue of performance evaluation has long been considered as one of the important success factors in various organizations. Therefore, in the current research, the relationship between organizational factors and organizational performance in public libraries of Gilan province has been investigated. The current research is of an applied type with a quantitative approach and in terms of how to collect data, a survey was conducted using a Likert scale questionnaire. The statistical population was the personnel working in the public libraries of Gilan (195 people), according to Cochran's formula, a questionnaire was distributed among 130 people by available sampling method. The instrument used is Machi's standard questionnaire (2019). SPSS and other statistical software were used for data analysis. The findings showed that all the factors of strategy, structure, cultre and organizational policy have a significant effect on organizational performance in public libraries of Gilan province, and these factors have the ability to predict the variable of organizational performance to a large extent, and culture was the strongest predictive variable.In order to improve the performance of public libraries in Gilan province, it is necessary for managers and professors to have a long-term perspective and pay due attention to various organizational issues in order to improve the performance of the organizaton. Also coordinate organizational operational plans and organize the actions of different units in one direction.

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between organizational citizenship behavior, leader-member exchange, and perceived supervisor support among employees of public libraries in Kurdistan province.

The present research method is a survey type in terms of practical purpose and data collection method. The statistical population of this study includes all employees of public libraries in Kurdistan province, totaling 99 people, which was determined using the census method due to the small population size. Three standard questionnaires were utilized to collect data on Organizational Citizenship Behavior (Kanuski, 1996), Leaders-Member Exchange (Gran and Joey Bain, 1995), and perceived support for the Supervisor (Rubin, 2013). The content validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by five professors of information science, and the reliability was assessed using Cronbach's alpha, resulting in values of 0.785, 0.845, and 0.938. Data analysis was conducted using statistical coefficients such as correlation coefficient and multiple linear regression in SPSS software version 22.

The findings showed a significant relationship between leader-member exchange and all five dimensions of organizational citizenship behavior, as well as the perceived support of the supervisor. Additionally, a significant relationship was found between the perceived support of the supervisor and organizational citizenship behavior. The perceived support of the supervisor was identified to play a mediating role in the relationship between leader-member exchange and the dimensions of altruism, respect, and humility. Lastly, the gender of the respondents was found to be related to the altruistic dimension.

Based on the results obtained, it can be said that employees are more likely to engage in organizational citizenship behavior in response to perceived support from the supervisor rather than as a tool for rewarding. In other words, employee's express organizational citizenship behavior because they feel satisfied with the support of their supervisor. What is certain is that it is not only the role of the supervisor that strengthens the behavior of organizational citizenship in the workplace; organizational citizenship behavior is a team effort.

In this research, the factors affecting the number of citations to the articles indexed in the Clarivate Analytics have been identified from the perspective of Library and Information Science specialists.

The method of the present study is Delphi. By conducting a content analysis of the texts, the components affecting the number of citations have been extracted and a questionnaire has been designed based on these components. The research community is composed of Library and Information Science specialists.

The findings from the Delphi method led to the identification of 70 proposed sub-components under the five main components including the characteristics of the subject area, journal, article, authors and keywords.

The results of this study show that researchers, when deciding to cite articles, pay more attention to the following factors: publisher credibility, scope of fields and disciplines, credibility of the institution or university, credibility of journal publication dimensions, journal impact factor, the international publication of the journal and its Q index, article accessibility, type of access, authors reputation, presence in scientific social networks, having an online resume such as ORCID, article topic relevance, topic popularity, and number of keywords.Finally, the following factors are among the features that, according to the Library & Information Science faculty members, are not related to receiving citations of articles, and for this reason, they were removed in the first stage of Delphi: the length of the article, the length of the abstract, the name of countries in the title, the presence of time in the title, the type of titles, the use of figures and appendixes in the articles, the sample size of the article, the length of the article title, the presence of the name of a place in the title, articles with more notes, articles with punctuation marks in the title, the presence of acronyms and abbreviations, providing detailed contact information of authors, the number of authors, and the number of self-citations of authors.Keywords: citation, received citation, citation rate, factors affecting number of citations, Clarivate Analytics, Library and Information Science.

Considering the importance of evaluating scientific output in different scientific field with scientometric indicators, this study aimed at analyzing and visualizing the scientific maps of research on the accounting field in Iran during a decade (2010-2019). For this, the output on the field in the form of published papers in 15 Irania research journals indexed in Islamic Scientific Citation (ISC) database were analyzed by scientometric and scientific mapping software packages. Based on the findings, top 20 authors authored about 30% of all papers. The mean rate of citation per paper was 2.65. The rates of authors' centrality showed authors' faire scientific interactions and connections. The main authorship pattern was multi-authored (mostly two-authored) one. The highly-frequent keywords were earning management, audit quality, and stock return, respectively. The highly-frequent co-occurred keyword pairs were earning quality-discretionary accruals, operating cash flow-accruals, unconditional conservatism-conditional conservatism, respectively. Subject clustering resulted in six core clusters, including earning management and accruals, corporate governance and agency theory, auditing, stock price and returns, investment management, and financial performance support and evaluation. In conclusion, considering the acceptable citability rate, research on the field is developing and stable and effective connections among authors can resulted in high-quality research. Bases on subject clustering, main topics in accounting have been considered in research on the field.

 The increasing importance of science and technology in contemporary societies and their impact on human life has caused the relationship between these two elements to be analyzed from different perspectives. This study investigates the relationship between science and technology in the field of knowledge discovery using citation analysis of patents during 1995-2014.

 This is an applied research which has been conducted using citation analysis method. The relationship between science and technology has been investigated using the indicators established in the two mentioned areas. For this purpose, we referred to the USPTO database and in the first stage, the field of Data Processing was searched. In the next step, the subject category of the data processing domain was analyzed and the subject category of knowledge discovery was identified and provided to the subject experts. After reviewing and analyzing the subject headings, they selected category 603 under the subject of Data Processing as the main category in the field of knowledge discovery. In the next step, the Current US Classification (CCL) was used to retrieve all related permissions and to avoid false dropout and search results error. All patents related to the subject of knowledge discovery (subject category 603), data processing area, including 304 patents were recalled from the earliest year of registration (1995) to the last year of registration (2014).
In the next step, bibliographic information on the first page of patents was used for citation analysis. This information is categorized into three sections named U.S. Patent Documents, Foreign Patent Documents, and Other References. The data was extracted manually from the text file and entered into Microsoft Excel 2013, and then the relationships (formulas) were coded and executed in Excel.
Geometric average formula was used to calculate the growth rate of citations. Narin (2000) proposed formula was used to study and evaluate the relationship between science and technology. The science index calculates the average number of citations to scientific articles in a patent. Scientific power indicates the degree of participation of scientific knowledge in the technical field. The technical power measurement is used to calculate the amount of technology used in the patents. Technical strength is a measure of the qualitative weight of a patent.
 
The statistical population of this research includes 304 patents in the subcategory of knowledge discovery and registered in the US Patent and Trademark Database, which was registered in this database from 1995 to 2014. By referring to the USPTO database and searching for knowledge discovery, the category of related topics was examined and finally category number 603 was selected to study the relationship between science and technology in the field of knowledge discovery. Uspto2.exe, Aostsoft All Document, and Excel software were used to extract and analyze the data. Ravar PreMap software was used to calculate the frequency and Excel program was used to calculate the growth trend of patents, growth rate of citations and drawing statistical graphs.

 Findings showed that the patents in the field of knowledge discovery during the research period have a growing trend of 30.07%. In other words, an average of 15.2 patents has been registered each year. The calculation of the growth rate of citing patents in the field of knowledge discovery using the geometric average shows 62.59% growth for a period of twenty years. Calculating the rate of citation to US patents using geometric averages shows a growth of 72.8%. Moreover, calculating the growth rate of citation to non-US patents based on geometric averages shows 87.2% growth. In this study, the link with science in the field of knowledge discovery was .3549. The closer the number of links with science is to 1, the stronger the scientific link is, and the closer it is to zero, the weaker the scientific link. In other words, the higher the citation of non-patent documents to the patents, the more it indicates that the invention in question has been produced based on research and scientific and academic theories. Scientific power in the field of knowledge discovery for the studied years was 10788.96 units, which indicates the influence of scientific documents in the patents of this field. In this research, the technical strength of the field of knowledge discovery is equal to 1967.52 units. The highest technical power (34.947) is related to 2011 and the lowest technical power (0.857) is related to 1995.

 The number of patents in the field of knowledge discovery at the USPTO database has grown by 30.07% in recent decades, with an average of 15.2 patents per year. These results show that the growth rate of patents has had ups and downs between these years. But further studies show that overall this growth has been accompanied by an upward slope; The highest number of patents was registered between 2008 and 2011. This growth has coincided with the growth of the global economy. The reason for this leap has been the need for global markets and free trade, which has led scientists, engineers and inventors to seek a share of the emerging market for emerging technologies. The results of this study showed that the rate of connection with science and its effect in the field of knowledge discovery is 35.49%. Considering the technical background in the field of knowledge discovery, this level of science participation in this field and its increase in the final years of the research period, indicates the growth of scientific research in line with technology and commercialization of scientific products of academic and industrial centers.

Nowadays, bibliometrics has been an interdisciplinary field with all scientific fields as its scope. The present study is related to the scientometric study of articles in information retrieval produced in Iran from the beginning of the topic in Persian papers to 2019. This research was an applied research which has been done using scientometric techniques such as citation analysis and co-word analysis. The data required for this research have been extracted from the "Islamic World Science Citation" database. The statistical population was 395 articles in the field of information retrieval, which was analyzed using "BibExcel," "VOSviewer," and " Excel" software packages. Some inconsistencies in author names and keywords have been tried to be unified. There was an increasing trend in published papers and received citations. Highly-cited and most influential authors in the field are well-known in the field. "Rahmatullah Fattahi" is in the first place with 11 articles and 16 citations. 77.72% of the articles have been authored in groups (two or more authors) and the two-authored approach with 154 articles has the most co-authorship approach. Six hundred twenty-six authors participated in writing the articles, which were repeated 923 times in various articles. The largest co-authorship network consists of 27 nodes (authors). "Najla Hariry," "Farideh Osareh," and "Saeed Rezaei Sharifabadi" have the highest score in terms of the centrality of rank, intermediate, and closeness among other researchers, respectively. The keywords "information retrieval," "search engines" and "internet" were the most frequently used keywords in the field of information retrieval. The word pairs of "recall - retrieval accuracy" and "Internet - search engines" were the first and second most frequent pairs of co-occurring-word pairs, respectively. Thematic clustering of articles in this field indicates the existence of eight subject clusters: "search, processing and evaluation information," "Storage and retrieval in information systems," "information behavior," "indexing," "information management and Scientometrics," "search engines," "precision and recall" and "information literacy." Co-authorship network showed that authors in the field tended to author with collaborating each other. Considerable items on information retrival have been published in Persian The acceptance of the co-authorship approach in the production of scientific works in information retrieval indicates the willingness of authors to write co-authored research. However, considering that 54.9% of the authors of this study did not receive the H index, the authors should make more efforts to produce quality articles. The largest cluster of this research is the "search, processing and evaluation information" cluster, which indicates the importance of this issue in information retrieval, and the smallest cluster is the "information literacy" cluster, which needs further research in this research field. The study helps authors identify hot topics and highly-considered subjects in information retrieval and provide a pattern for conducting scientometric analyses in similar fields.

In this study, comparative comparisons between Simorgh and Mirase Jam-E Jam software have been made and the features and performances of these two software have been described in the IRIB organization.

The present study is of applied variety, and has been done with survey method and an evaluation method has been used to analyze the obtained data.

The findings of this research showed that in the eleven criteria which considered in this study (including; Software technical section, Data input and output standards section, Search section, save and restore, To register and login information, Help Section, reporting section, Security section, metadata standards section, operating system limitations, user interface section) the Mirase Jam-E Jam software is superior to the Simorgh software in six criteria.However, the Simorgh software is also superior in data input and output sectors, search, and save and restore, Help and ultimately in the user interface as compared to the Mirase Jam-E Jam software. In a general comparison, based on all the criteria, the Mirase Jam-E Jam software has superiority with acquiring 53.08 over the Simorgh software with 46.55.

The results of this study showed that both software require major revisions. Although the Mirase Jam-e Jam software is superior, but important parts need to be revision to be more consistent with archival resources.

The aim of this study was to investigate the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in librarians based on the conditions of the station, heavy work and its relationship with burnout, job stress and job motivation in libraries in Kermanshah province.

The applied study method is survey-descriptive. The statistical population was 170 librarians working in public libraries of Kermanshah province, which according to the Cochran's formula, the sample size was 118 people. Data collection tools were the standard Nordic musculoskeletal disorder questionnaire, the Mazlach standard burnout standard questionnaire, the Hse standard work stress questionnaire, and the standard job motivation questionnaire. Data were obtained using Pearson correlation coefficient, logistics, Chi-square test.

The results showed that the highest prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders was in the lumbar region, back area, neck area, hip or thigh area, respectively, and the lowest prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders was in the knee, shoulder and wrist area. And the elbow area has been reported. Between burnout and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in the neck, back, buttocks or thighs, shoulders, elbows and wrists is significant (P <0.05). Between job stress and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders, There is a significant correlation between job motivation and the prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders (P <0.05). According to the results of Chi-square test, there is no significant statistical relationship between the sex of librarians and musculoskeletal disorders (P <0.05). There is a statistically significant relationship between the sex of librarians and musculoskeletal disorders of the lumbar and wrist areas (P <0.05). There is no significant statistical relationship between marital status, age, level of education and work experience of librarians and musculoskeletal disorders (P <0.05).

According to the results of the present study, musculoskeletal disorders have a high frequency among employees of public libraries in Kermanshah province. In this regard, ergonomic intervention programs in the workplace seem to be essential. To teach users about the ergonomic principles of working with a computer, designing a workstation and shift work can be mentioned as components of this program program program

The purpose of the present research is to investigate and identify semantic relationships, map the development of knowledge, and create a network of thematic documents produced in the field of moral education indexed in the Web of Science database between 2000 and 2018.

It is an applied-descriptive research method that was carried out using scientometric techniques and the method of vocabulary co-occurrence analysis and network analysis. The keywords of the articles were used as research data. It will be the statistical population of the research was collected from the Web of Science database and by using the keyword "moral education" in the advanced search strategy with the command code TI=moral education** NOT**TS=morality education**NOT TI=ethics education, which includes 991 articles. was that the word "moral education" is used in the title. The data was cleaned, normalized, standardized, and structured in the next step. To extract keywords from Bibexcel software, to edit data and draw a strategic diagram from Excel software, to create a matrix from Ravar PreMap software, to draw a tree diagram from SPSS 22 software, to calculate centrality, correlation matrix and draw a multi-dimensional scaling map from the software UCINet 6 and VOSviewer software was used to illustrate the maps.

This research has shown that out of a total of 1982 words identified during the study period in the field of moral education, 1213 words were used jointly or exclusively in the documents found. The keyword "university education" has the highest frequency with 55 repetitions. The words "education" and "values" had the highest co-occurrence with a frequency of 5. After these two words, "students' ideology", "education** moral development", "university education** moral development" and "university education** humanization" have the highest co-occurrences of 5, 4, 3, and 3 respectively. Are. The results of the cluster analysis showed that the field of moral education consists of 10 clusters: "Care and Justice", "Business Ethics", "School and Children's Maturity", "Behavior of Minors in Kindergarten", "Sex Education", and "Ethical Education". - Medicine", "Challenges of Physical Education", "Citizenship Education and Training", "Social Values" and "Human Virtues-Mythology" with the highest concentration related to cluster 2 "Business Ethics" and the highest concentration related to Cluster 5 "Education" It has been sexual. The drawing of the strategic diagram showed that cluster 5 "sex education" is located in dimension 1 due to its high density and internal connection, which are very well developed. Cluster 3 "school and children's maturity" and cluster 8 "citizenship education" are located in dimension 2 of the strategic diagram, they are not central, but they have the possibility of development. Also, cluster 1 "care and justice", cluster 2 "business ethics", cluster 4 "behavior of minors in kindergarten", cluster 6 "moral-medical education", cluster 7 "challenges of physical education" and cluster 9 "social values" Next, there are 3 strategic charts that are emerging.

In this research, the field of moral education was investigated using the methods of synonym analysis and social network analysis using articles indexed in the web-science database between 2000 and 2018. The results of the cluster analysis showed that the researches in the field of moral education in the desired period are from 10 clusters, which are "care and justice", "business ethics", "school and children's maturity", "behavior of minors in kindergarten", "Sex education", "Medical Ethics Education", "Challenges of Physical Education", "Citizenship Education", "Social Values" and "Human Characteristics-Mythology" were formed. Drawing the steering diagram based on the relationships between the words that make up the clusters revealed other hidden angles of it. In recent years, the field of moral education has focused on the topics that are applied in educational courses, but still, responsible organizations do not invest in this type of issue, which is consistent with past research. Therefore, the field of moral education emphasizes citizenship education in the education system for society to benefit from moral judgment and stability of human values and virtues. Therefore, based on the results of this research, experts in this field should pay attention to all the needs of the members of society and human society.

The purpose of this study was to determine the information security behavior of users in professional virtual communities based on Islamic Azad University, Kermanshah Branch.

The method of the present study was descriptive-correlational. The statistical population of this study was faculty members of Islamic Azad University of Kermanshah, which was selected data.. Descriptive statistics, Pearson correlation matrix and structural equation test were used to analyze the data using SPSS and Amos software.

The results indicated that the variables "Safeguarding Measure Cost", "Perceived Susceptibility", "Perceived Severity", "Information Security Knowledge Sharing" and "Information Security Experience" had a positive and significant relationship with users’ “Avoidance Behavior”. On the other hand, the variable "Avoidance Motivation" as a mediating dependent variable had a positive and significant relationship with "Avoidance Behavior". Also, the fit of the model showed that the proposed conceptual model was very useful.

The results of the research showed that it is necessary for the planners and trustees of information protection in organizations to provide necessary and continuous training for people to better understand information protection against various threats. Therefore, it is necessary to pay more attention to various factors, including sharing knowledge and experience of people and creating a safe environment for trust between people. On the other hand, awareness and understanding of the types of threats and the nature of each of them will lead to keeping organizations healthy and progressing.

User satisfaction is a main factor in the stability and acceptance as well as continuation of public library and its services in the age of many alternatives at hand for accessing needed data and information. Many factors are at work in the creation and promotion of user satisfaction in public libraries. The architecture and space of public libraries are effective in user satisfaction. They act as main motivators in attracting users and encouraging them to use the provided services as many related studies in the field show. The possible effect of the space and architecture of public libraries in Iranian context have not been investigated yet. In this survey, the role of architecture and space of public libraries in user satisfaction was studied and explained in the context of Iran.

In this descriptive-analytical survey, out of 1500 active users in 23 Kermamshah Public Libraries, a sample of 375 users was selected in 2018 by using stratified random sampling with Cochran formula. Study instrument was a paper-and pencil questionnaire. It included 4 factors or components (consisting of inner and outside library architecture, physical space and facilities, supportive space and facilities, and removing acoustic disturbance as an obstacle to reading), 6 subcomponents and 39 questions or items in a 5-pointed Likert-type scale that its reliability and formal validity were achieved by Chronbach's alpha and confirmatory factor analysis, respectively. 346 complete questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS 23 and data underwent descriptive and inferential statistical procedures for testing study hypotheses and generalization of results. .

Out of subjects, 224 and 122 users were male and female, respectively. The descriptive indicators on the study variables had the scale higher than the moderate level (=3), with removing the acoustic disturbance as the highest scored variable and designing the supportive space and facilities as the least sored one. Data analysis and study findings indicated that there is a significant relationship between the architecture of public libraries and their users' satisfaction (t(n=346,df=345) = 17.945, p<.01) There is a significant relationship between physical factors and users' satisfaction (z(n=346) = -2.363, p<.05). However, there is not a significant relationship between removing acoustic disturbance and user satisfaction (z(n=346) = -.292, p>.01). The relationship between designing supportive spaces and users' satisfaction was significant, too (t(n=346,df=345)= 14.434, p<.01). In overall, the results showed that public library users consider library space and its architecture (including all studied subcomponent) as main and influential factors in fulfilling their needs and achieving their satisfaction.

It can be said that libraries are not success without having a satisfactory space and architecture. As the building of a library, including public libraries is not an administrative and formal space, but a public service and potentially attractive one, its appropriate space and attractive architecture can be beneficial to its service promotion and development for users with many other alternatives at hand that may select one or more among them. For attracting and satisfying public library's users, it is needed that library managers and administrators take public library internal and external architecture and space into account for providing better services and more satisfaction. These two factors are effective in library socialization as heavily affect the sense of users when coming into and using library services. In addition, the obstacles to user satisfaction in designing Iranian public libraries need to be investigated in further research projects. User satisfaction remains a main element in absorbing users for the public libraries and using their widely-ranged services as possible.

Knowledge organization is one of the oldest and most fundamental topics in knowledge and information science. Future study is a general human capacity that enables a person to think about the future and examine, model and create future possibilities and show them in front of themselves. Success in identifying driving forces, macrotrends and shapers of the future and investigating their impact on key factors affecting each future and analyzing the feasibility of certain futures with the aim of creating desirable futures are among the goals of future research. The future of information science has faced new developments. Undoubtedly, the future will be different from what has been customary before. The profession of information science must make fundamental and specific changes, otherwise it will be abandoned. Futuristic science is a science that opens the view of information science to possible future events, challenges and opportunities and makes it possible to reach the desired future from the right path. It seems that there is no clear, accurate and correct view of the developments, effective forces, challenges, solutions and matters related to the knowledge  organization. Not having the right knowledge and making decisions based on trial and error and different tastes, causes waste of time and money, getting lost, reducing efficiency, rework, lack of coherence, getting lost, etc., and causes a lot of losses to this important field. The purpose of this research is to future study of knowledge organization using the opinions of Iranian experts in this field about the future and related issues.

The type of research is applied with a qualitative approach that has been collected by qualitative content analysis, grounded theory and interview tools to obtain the opinions of knowledge organization experts. The collected data were analyzed based on thematic analysis. After asking questions, the interviews were conducted in a semi-structured manner and implemented. The transcripts of the interviews were then read and reviewed several times so that the researcher had sufficient control over the data. In the third stage, the data were broken down into semantic units in the form of sentences and paragraphs related to the main meaning. Semantic units were reviewed several times and then the appropriate concepts of each semantic unit were written. The research population is 20 experts in information science and science with a specialized field of knowledge organization who were interviewed by phone.

The results led to the identification of several factors about the driving forces, trends, challenges and strategies affecting knowledge organization. According to experts, the influential driving forces in the future of knowledge organization are: knowledge producers, knowledge stakeholders, knowledge users, knowledge theorists, education, cooperation of information science and computer science experts, etc. Some interviewees see the collection of research on knowledge organization as a growing yet diverse trend. Cataloging and classification, taxonomy, traditional topics including reduction items and web-based tools, tools and standards for organizing knowledge, semantic web and ontology are expressed as incremental items. In the field of knowledge organizing challenges, we can also mention factors such as: research problems, manpower, education, data problems, software problems, non-compliance with standards. The interviewees also provided a variety of solutions in the fields of education, research, manpower, financial resources and technology-related issues. Finally, the paradigm model of the research was drawn and the related factors in each category were identified.

Organizing knowledge is a multifaceted, growing and prolific subject in knowledge and information science that is struggling with its strengths and weaknesses. Each part of the paradigm model interacts with each other and has a positive or negative effect on each other. Paying attention to the positive points and eliminating the weak points can help in promoting the knowledge organization and knowledge and information science. Education is one of the most important driving forces of knowledge organization and is like a double-edged sword that can act as an effective force if paid attention to. Otherwise it is considered a big challenge. Experts in knowledge organization have a good and clear knowledge of the issues in this area and have expressed various influential cases. Therefore, it is necessary to use collective wisdom and financial and spiritual support to pay more attention to knowledge organizing and try to promote strengths and eliminate weaknesses.

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a respiratory disease with rapid transmission that affects most countries. The aim of the present study was to analyze the citations of COVID-19 research in the Scopus citation database from 2019 to 2021.

The purpose of this study is to review and compare the views of librarians and users on the use of customer knowledge management in public libraries in Hamadan province.

The method of the present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of data collection method. The statistical population of this study includes all users and librarians of public libraries in Hamadan province. The total number of these libraries, according to the Statistical Research Office of the Provincial Public Libraries, is equal to 113 libraries (100 institutional libraries and 13 participatory and independent libraries) with 170 librarians and 67,339 active members. In this study, due to the large number of librarians, all of them were selected as a sample using the census method. The sample size among users using the Cochran's formula was equal to 382 people. Two researcher-made questionnaires with 22 items were used to collect data. In order to analyze the data, t-test of two independent samples was used in SPSS software version 22.

The results of data analysis showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups of librarians and users in terms of the use of the component

In this study, we have tried to identify the factors affecting the non-use of women in rural libraries from the perspective of non-user women, i.e. women who are not members of libraries and are not library users. Library factors, Internet access, accessibility, and service fit to needs are among the items that in most studies have shown the greatest impact on people using libraries. However, due to the fact that less research has examined the problems and challenges facing women in accessing information resources and referring them to libraries, this study was conducted with the main purpose of examining this important issue.

This research has been done with a qualitative approach and using content analysis method. The statistical population of the study consists of non-user women in 8 rural libraries in Kermanshah. Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data and Lincoln and Guba (1985) evaluation method was used to ensure the validity and reliability of the study. In order to achieve and validate the research tool, the research process was performed by two experts and two coders were used to codify several interview samples, to ensure the uniformity of the coders' point of view and to write notes during the research in Excel sheets. By applying this process, the reliability of the research data was significantly increased. The sampling method of the research was snowball and the transcript of the interviews was analyzed by three methods quantitative, structural, and interpretive, and in this regard, the software MAXQDA 2018 was used.

After extracting the main sentences from the text of the interviews and placing them in a file, first conceptualization was done and then according to the extracted concepts, the appropriate category with each concept was selected. In the coding process, each phrase was marked as a corresponding code according to its meaning, concept, and implication under a specific heading, and was classified in the MAXQDA software environment. In the next step, after removing some of the codes that had thematic overlap, four main dimensions including environmental, personal, social and cultural, and special factors were identified and 36 conceptual codes were extracted in this field. Finally, due to the frequency of repetitive concepts, it was found that "special factors" had the greatest impact on women not going to rural libraries and "environmental factors" showed the least role in this regard.

This study has looked at the issue of women's access to information resources and libraries with a different perspective and has focused on non-user women. Obviously, attracting the attention and membership of non-user women to rural libraries can lead to the promotion of knowledge and information of this group and, consequently, a direct impact on the family center and improve the position of the library in the minds of society. Therefore, rural libraries should pay more attention to this important issue and pave the way for providing services to this group.

This paper aims to evaluate the quality of services provided by mobile websites of Iranian academic libraries.Research

This research uses a quantitative content analysis methodology. In this research, using a purposive sample, 20 top universities affiliated to the Ministry of Science Research and Technology (MSRT), and 20 top Islamic Azad Universities (IAU) listed in ISC have been chosen. Data gathering tool is a standard checklist by Torres-Pérez (2016) which evaluates the quality of services.

The results indicated that the quality of services in mobile websites of MSRT is higher than average, and IAU’s are lower than average. In the ranking of service quality, Tehran University, Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Branch, Ferdowsi University of Mashhad, and University of Mazandaran acquired highest scores. Also, the results revealed that there is no correlation between rankings based on the quality of academic libraries' services and their university ranking in the ISC.

Considering the wide range of users, it seems that paying attention to the quality of services in the design of the mobile website of academic libraries makes it easier for users to visit it, use more library services, and eventually increase the efficiency of library services.

The purpose of this study is to identify the role of the network society in the professional identity of librarians of Astan Quds Razavi. It is based on Castells's network society theory.

The present study was qualitative in terms of type of research and has an applied orientation. In this research, the method of thematic analysis has been used in order to discover the concepts related to the network society and the professional identity of Quds Razavi librarians. In order to provide the data needed to analyze and answer the research questions, semi-structured interview tools were used. The sampling method in the present study is non-probability purposeful. The sample size of the present study consists of 14 librarians of Astan Quds libraries. The data obtained from this research have been analyzed through qualitative thematic analysis method.

As a result of analyzing the interviews using thematic analysis method, 5 comprehensive themes of professional roles and goals, how to interact with the global network, spheres of influence, the impact of professional identity from participation in global networks and the effects of librarians' interaction with a networked society on the librarianship profession has been extracted in connection with the role of a networked society in the professional identity of librarians of Astan Quds Razavi. Also, these 5 comprehensive themes include 15 organizing themes, which have been extracted from 135 basic themes.

According to the research findings, the development of society towards the global network has always been part of librarians' concern about the job threats posed by it. Challenges such as rapid technological change and the proliferation of information that is sometimes unscientific and undocumented, and the diminishing role of books, libraries, and librarians, have raised concerns for librarians. But what is important and plays a significant role in strengthening the sense of identity of librarians is the development of information services and countless service opportunities that will be achieved by improving the skills of librarians and highlighting the role of professional and experienced managers. In other words, with the advancement of technology and global networks, the main mission of libraries and consequently librarians do not change, but with the development of individual competencies of librarians and the development of libraries and library services, not only their professional identity it is not a threat, but only the way in which libraries and librarians operate in the context of digital development, evolving and evolving. Librarians can develop their social and personal communication network as the global network community develops, and by synchronizing information and transferring experiences and providing the necessary training to the audience to participate in these communication networks, librarians can. In this regard, the role of professional, experienced and motivating managers in the sense of identity of librarians is very important. Librarians can help maintain libraries in an ever-changing world of information by developing a social network and expanding voluntary activities in an interactive and collaborative manner nationally and globally.

Knowledge organization is one of the old and basic topics of knowledge and information science. The aim of this study is to conduct a scientific mapping of knowledge organization based on author co-citation analysis.

The type of research was applied by the citation analysis method. The research records are compiled based on all articles in the two journals of Knowledge Organization and Cataloging and Classification Quarterly and keywords related to the field of knowledge organization indexed in Web of Science database from 1900 to 2019. Finally, 17,950 records were analyzed in full with plain text format. The total number of citations was 360143. In this study, cuts were made for authors who received 130 citations and more, numbering 178; therefore, a 178 by 178 matrix was used to draw the co-citation network and the authors’ co-citation network was drawn. Then the created symmetric matrix was transformed into a correlation matrix. To draw a matrix BibExcel software, to analyze co-citation networks UCINET software, to draw co-citation grid VOSviewer software, to draw a dendrogram diagram SPSS software and to draw a strategic chart Excel software were used.

The findings show that Horland was highly productive and Salton has highly cited articles in the field of knowledge organization. Robertson and Salton also have the most co-citations in this area. The intellectual structure of the field of knowledge organization consists of 11 main clusters. The largest cluster (cluster 4) consists of 36 researchers dedicated to information retrieval. After that, cluster 1 with 35 authors, which is in the subject of seeking behavior-information retrieval. Categories 10 and 11 also have 18 researchers each, covering topics such as cataloging and classification, and knowledge organization. Cluster 9, with seven authors is the smallest cluster that deals with the subject of scientometrics. Combined clusters, scientometrics, ontology, and cataloging and classification have the highest density. Information retrieval and knowledge organization clusters also have the highest centrality.

The creation of a co-citation network among the authors of the knowledge organization shows the intellectual connection between the authors. Not all prolific writers in this field are necessarily well-known authors. Issues of information retrieval, information behavior, and knowledge organization play an important role in knowledge organization research. Highly productive and high cited authors also cite a more effective presence on the scientific map. The co-citation analysis of the authors can show the most influential authors and the relationships between them. These analyzes can be used in macro-policies and policy-making.

The purpose of this study is to analyze the factors affecting voluntary activities, satisfaction, and continuation will of volunteering and loyalty of volunteers in public libraries of Kermanshah province.

The present research method is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-correlational in terms of data collection method. The statistical population of this study includes volunteers working in public libraries of Kermanshah province. The Oh (2017) standard questionnaire with 53 items is used to collect data. In order to analyze the data, correlation coefficient, simple and multiple linear regression tests were used.

The research findings showed that the functions of volunteering, volunteer experience, and support for volunteers affect volunteers' satisfaction. Moreover, these variables have a positive and significant effect on the continuation will of their activities and their loyalty.

Among the functions of volunteering, the functions including perception/progress, job, sociality, value, and protection had the highest mean, respectively, and the mean of all of them was higher than the average value. This means that the main motivation for public library volunteers is to facilitate personal growth and understanding of others.

Journals are one of the channels of scientific communication among experts in the specialized fields of human knowledge as well as a tools for the rapid and widespread dissemination of new research achievements. It is important for founders of scientific journals to explore if the publications of the journal meet the performance of academic journals interms of subjects and collaboration of resarchers. The aim of this study was to analyze the scientometrics of a decade of activity of the Medical Journal of Tabriz University of Medical Sciences.

The method of this research was scientometric analysis. The statistical population of the study included articles published in Tabriz Medical Journal from 2010 to 2019, which are indexed in the Islamic World Science Citation Database (ISC). We analysed publications in Tabriz Medical Journal from 2010 to 2019. To collect the required data, the title of the journal was searched on the website of the Iranian Science Citation Index in the "Advanced Search" section by filtering the desired years. BibExcel, Ucinet, NetDraw and VOS-Weaver software were used for data analysis.

Seven hundred ninety-four articles written by 1947 authors were published in Tabriz Medical Journal. The authors' names were repeated a total of 3111 times in various articles. The average number of authors for each article was 3.92. The citation effect (average citation per article) was 0/36. Each article included an average of 21.56 citations. 31 of the 794 papers were single-author papers while 763 papers were published as scientific collaborations between two or more researchers. There were four authors in the co-authored template. The largest co-authorship network consisted of 92 authors. 2449 keywords were used to describe 794 articles. These keywords were repeated a total of 3118 times in various articles. The most common keywords included "children", "rat" and "polymorphism" with frequencies of 20, 19 and 17, respectively. Thematic clusters included "quality of life", "type 1 diabetes", "aerobic activity", "antibiotic resistance", "breast cancer", "type 2 diabetes", "cardiovascular disease", "drinking water" and "Stress and depression”.

The results of this study indicated the existence of a good status of scientific collaborations among authors based on the patterns of writing journal articles. All thematic clusters obtained were in compliance with the thematic axes or thematic specializations existing in the journal. The average citation per article was about 0/36 percent; thus, the status of the citation rate for the journal articles was not high enough. The index of journals in international databases has a positive effect on increasing the citation rate of journal articles. Therefore, it is suggested that new measures be taken to increase the visibility and impact factor of the journal.

Plagiarism is copying words, texts, images, and the like, and using the thoughts of others as one's own. The purpose of this study is to determine the extent of various factors on the tendency to plagiarism among Ph.D. students of Bu-Ali University.

The method of the present research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of data collection method. The statistical population of this study consists of all Ph.D. students of Bu-Ali University. The total number of students at Bu-Ali University is equal to 832 students, which according to Cochran's formula, the sample size was equal to 263 people. Five questionnaires were used to collect data. The reliability of these questionnaires through Cronbach's alpha was equal to 0.948, 0.955, 0.968, 986, and 0.975 respectively. In order to test research hypotheses, structural equation modeling in Warp PLS7 software was used.

The results of data analysis showed that the variables of perception of plagiarism, attitude to plagiarism and personal harassment have a negative and significant effect on the rate of plagiarism of students. Also, the variable of academic jurisprudence has a positive and significant effect on the rate of plagiarism of students.

It seems that students' knowledge, understanding and awareness of plagiarism and its examples, policies and legal punishment in this field are at a low level. That the officials and administrators of the universities take the necessary measures in order to make the students more aware and familiar with the consequences of this work.
