This study is aimed to comparing the resources available in the Art and Cultural Organization of Tehran Municipality (ACOTM) and the Tehran Public Libraries Institution (PLI) concerning the conformity of these resources to the needs of library members.

This research used Analytic survey method. Sampling method is random stratified sampling. The Public Libraries affiliated with Tehran Municipality and the Public Libraries of the Institution in Tehran are divided into 22 urban districts. In order to take the sample one library is selected from each district. The statistical population of the public libraries of the Art and Cultural Organization of Tehran municipality (ACOTM) consists of 440 entities including 209 men and 231 women. The statistical population of Tehran Public Libraries Institution (PLI) consists of 440 entities including 179 men and 261 women. Questionnaire has used to gather information.

The public libraries of the Art and Cultural Organization of Tehran Municipality (ACOTM) have a better than the Tehran Public Libraries Institution (PLI) status concerning “non-book resources”. The status of libraries of Tehran Public Libraries Institution (PLI) is better than the public libraries of the Art and Cultural Organization of Tehran Municipality (ACOTM) as concerns “Dewey decimal topics”. The significance level of the test is larger than %5 in the two classes of “educational aid books” with significance level of 0.653 and “the accessibility of resources” with significance level of 0.167. Therefore, there is no significant difference between the libraries of the two institutions.

Comparing the current situation of public libraries in Iran, it seems that the number of buildings and their appearance, equipment, quality of resources and most importantly, their services are far from what is needed in a dynamic and growing society.

Scientific databases are one of the most important information resources in academic community and can play determinative role in different aims and goals of student. This studyaimed to determine the rate of using, awareness and satisfaction of scientific database among student of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences.

This study is an applied-survey study and hasbeen done duringthe2016-2017 educational period. Self-questionnaire that made according to reviewof internal and external resources about the subject (in 6-sections), and its reliability and validity being approved, distributedamong 238 Students of Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences(Master, PhD, Doctors and Medical residents). To analysis data, we use descriptive statistics, statistical test and SPSS 16.

Findingsshow that most of student use scientific database because of clinical activities (average of 4.27). Also we funded that most knowledgelevel of those students about database were ISI (average of 4.43) and they used Pubmed more than other database (4.30). Also the highest satisfaction rate of database was ISI (4.28) and “unfamiliarity with the Englishlanguage "funded as the most barriers related to use of scientific database.

Rate of using, awareness and satisfaction of scientificdatabaseamong student of Mazandaran University of Medical Scienceswas more than average and close to high level. Mazandaran Medical Science University by planning and tacking suitable policy and also destroy of barriers and challenges can provided better conditionsof student's using scientific database and created causeof growth of their scientific and professional developments.

Recognizing the current situation and comparing research activities on various topics has made it important today to evaluate research activities using scientometrics techniques. The purpose of this study was to conduct co-word and co-authorship analysis of the articles published in the Journal of Health Information Management (JHIM) from 2009 to 2018.

The data for this study were extracted from Islamic World Science Citation Center(ISC). The statistical population of the study consisted of 807 articles published in the JHIMin a ten-year period (2009-2018).

Isfahan University of Medical Sciences was the most prolific institution with the production of 236 articles. Over 94% of articles werepublished collaboratively. Mohammad Hossein Yarmohammadian had the highest scores in terms of centrality indicators. The keyword "hospitals" was the most frequently used keywords in the JHIM. Hierarchical clustering indicated seven clusters with the themesofhospital services and performance, knowledge management in universities, hospital information systems, quantitative measurement studies of health information, health Indicators, health information management and technology, and quality of health care in hospitals.

The scientific collaboration approach among authors has been relatively good at producing scientific works. However, there are several authors with a limited number of articles. There are also a small number of core institutions and universities in producing scientific worksin the field of health information management. With the exception of the knowledge management cluster at the universities, all the obtained clusters are aligned with the journal's thematic axes.

The current study aimed at evaluating the relationship between moral growth and self-control variables with "self-citation" and "total citation rates" in the articles of the top authors of Iranian medical sciences’ universities in 2017.

The current cross-sectional study was conducted to investigate the relationship between the variables of the two domains of Scientometrics and social psychology, and their correlation type (model presentation). The target population in the first part of this research study includes all the writers who had an EH index of 10 or above in the scientific database of 2017. Sampling was done by systematic random sampling. The sample size at this stage was 120 according to the formula n = 104 + m and the study's history. In the citation analysis, two papers from each author were evaluated. The data collected during the first and second parts of the study were analyzed by Excel and SPSS 16.0. Finally, a regression analysis was performed based on the input method.

The results of the current study showed that the correlation coefficients of the level of moral development and self-citation model have a significant relationship, but the self-control variable does not have a significant relationship with the pattern of total citation rates. Also, there is a meaningful relationship between the self-citation pattern and the pattern of total citation rates. In the regression model by input method, only moral growth factor and self-control variables had the predictive power of predictive power (P <0.001), but the self-control variable could not be as The predictor of the authors' self-citation pattern is considered. The regression model between the variables of moral growth and self-control as predictive variables and the variable "total rate of citation" as a criterion variable is not significant based on the method of entry. In other words, none of the two variables of the level of moral development and self-control can be a predictive factor for the behavioral pattern of the total rate of citations of authors' articles.

According to the results of the current study, the power to explain the 17 percent change in the author's own citation pattern with the factor of the level of moral development suggests that social norms are the cause of real or imaginary pressures on authors, which ultimately leads to more self-citation by the author. The existence of a relationship between the factor of the "moral growth level" and the "self-citation" pattern of the writers as well as the predictive power of this pattern through the above factor is in some way a confirmation of the theory of Cronin's social structure in citation behavior. In other words, part of the self-referential behavior of writers is influenced by social pressures, and it depends on the writers’ level of moral development. Also, the context and primary basis in which the process of citation has taken place is effective in this process. These findings also unequivocally violate the normative theory of citation behavior that claims the citation merely reflects the cognitive or logical effects of scientific work.

Scientific productions are one of the most important indicators for countries’ development assessment, which play a decisive role in the development of scientific and information communities. The present study aimed to evaluate Islamic Republic of Iran’s scientific productions in the field of Nursing during 2000 to 2016.
This applied study was performed using a survey method with a scientometric approach. In this research, all scientific documents indexed in the field of Nursing and published in Scopus database by Iranian researchers during 2000-2016, were investigated.
Iranian scientific articles in the field of Nursing had increased from 7 in 2000 to 457 in 2016. University of Tehran was the main publishing center and the United States was the main scientific partner of Iranian researchers in providing scientific evidence. Scientific productions of Iran in the field of “Care Planning” were among the top 10 countries in the world and Dr Fereydoon Azizi with 125 scientific documents, had the most contribution among the Iranian authors.
Although scientific documents of Iranian researchers in the field of Nursing are not quantitatively appropriate and their number is relatively low, as compared to others subject areas, significant number of articles were of high quality and were published in the high-quality scientific journals. Policy making, proper planning, and supporting the studies of faculty members, researches, students, and departments of universities, can be effective in the improvement of quantitative and qualitative levels of researches.

Determine of position and role of each country on scientific production in different subject areas shows level of capacity and performance of the country to help and improve this subject area. The aim of this study is to quantitative and qualitative examine of scientific production of Islamic Republic of Iran in the field of Diabetes and determine its regional and international position. This is Survey-Descriptive Study and use Scientometrics approach. Statistical populations include 2291 scientific articles and papers which have been published by Iranian authors in the field of Diabetes in Scopus Database during 2 last decades. We used SPSS, NodeXL and VOSviewer to draw graphs and analysis data. Findings show that Iranian scientific outputs in the field of Diabetes increased from 5 in 1996 to 299 in 2015. Tehran University of Medical Science, United States and Dr Freedom Azizi Respectively founded as the most important producer Center, Partner country and high producer Author. Also place of Islamic Republic of Iran upgraded in the period study and stay on second position in region and twenty first position in the word. Although Iranian scientific production in the field of Diabetes have been increased in a quantitative factors, but share of the Islamic Republic of Iran among all world production in the field of diabetes was so low. Also most of scientific papers and articles published in internal journals which haven’t good and high quality. Making planning and tacking decision by Medical Universities and Government of Health seems necessary to increase number of researches in diabetes and promote quality and quantity of scientific papers

Scientific journals are known as one of the basic tools in knowledge development in today's world and have a special place in publication of the newest achievements of human knowledge and science. This study aimed to evaluate Iranian journals of medical sciences in Scopus database and determine their level in the world.
This is an analytical-descriptive study with Scientometrics approach. The research population includes all Iranian journals in the field of medicine which are indexed in Scopus database until 2016. We used SPSS and Excel software to analyze data and NodeXL to draw shapes and pictures.
The findings show that the number of Iranian journals increased from 2 in 1999 to 78 in 2015. Also, 15 cities and 29 centers and universities have played a role in publishing those journals. Meanwhile, the findings show that Iranian indexed journals are at a lower level compared with those of the developed and industrial countries.
The most important reasons for Iranian journal's growth were "the policy of Scopus to increase scientific journals", "observance of standards and compliance with international fashion and standards of medical journals”, and the like. We concluded that Iranian journals compared with those of other countries are not at a good quality position and that it is essential to have an appropriate policy by the Ministry of Health and its subordinate Universities.

The aim of this research was to teach correct scientific citation in the scientific productions of top writers at Iranian Medical Sciences Universities in 2017 with regard to the relationship between moral growth and self-control variables with focus on "Citation to meta citation article" model in the articles of the top authors of Iranian medical universities in 2017. The population of current scientometrics and correlation study in the first part of research was included all the writers who had an H-index of 10 or more in the scientist database of 2017. The sample size at this stage was 110. The data collected were analyzed by SPSS 16.0. The research outcomes showed that the regression model was significant (β=-11/264, p=0/018), (β=-0/665, p=0/007). Regarding the results, avoiding citing to “meta citation” articles blindly can, as far as possible, lead to strengthening of citation indices.

Scientific databases are one of the most important information resources in academic communities and can largely affect different aims and goals of students. This study was aimed to determine the use and awareness of and satisfaction with scientific databases among students at Mazandaran University of Medical Sciences (MazUMS).
This cross-sectional study was conducted during the academic period 2016-2017. A researcher-made questionnaire based on the review of internal and external resources about the subject (in 6 sections) with approved reliability and validity was distributed among 238 students at MazUMS (M.Sc., Ph.D., M.D., and residents). Data were analyzed by SPSS.16 software using descriptive and inferential statistics.
The findings showed that most of the students used scientific databases because of clinical activities (mean= 4.27). Also, most students had an average knowledge about ISI databases (4.43) and they used PubMed more than other databases (4.30). Further, the highest satisfaction with databases was found for ISI (4.28). Moreover, unfamiliarity with English language was the most important barrier to using scientific databases.
The use and awareness of and satisfaction with scientific databases among students at MazUMS were more than average and close to high level. MazUMS can provide better conditions for students to use scientific databases by planning and adopting suitable policy and eliminating the barriers and challenges, thereby promoting their scientific and professional developments.

Increasing Information and recognize its values in personal and professional life for each person brings challenges and barriers that how people can access to information  and it  is necessary for them to obtain some special skills in information seeking process. This study aimed to examine information seeking of Mazandaran Medical Science University Nursing Student's and identified their barriers to access to information. This is applied and survey-descriptive (Sectional) study. Statistical populations include all Nursing student of Mazandaran medical science university (faculty of nursing in Sari and Behshahr). We use self-questionnaire that made in 5 sections, to collect data and use SPSS and Statistical test to analysis them. Findings show that most important motivation of examined student to access and search their own information was "do homework (Educational Activities)". We funded that "Books" and "Journals" with average of 4.10 and 3.91 and also "General search engines" identified as the most important resources and channels to access to information. "University equipment problems" mentioned by nursing student as the most challenges in their information seeking process. This study shows that nursing students needs to receive information from the formal and valid channels because of quality and quantity incrassating of suitable information, related to their personal, educational, and professional life. Planning and making policy by management and masters of Mazandaran Medical Science University can be useful for student access to information with developing of information channels.

The present research intended to investigate the amount of scientific products of Iranian researchers with non-Iranian organizational affiliations to the best universities in developed and industrial countries throughout the world in Scopus database. The present study was a descriptive survey with a Scientometric approach. The study population consisted of Iranian faculty members of 103 best universities in G8 countries and Australia which were chosen according to ranking system of world universities. The data related to scientific products were extracted from Scopus database. Findings showed that 553 Iranian faculty members in different majors are active in the universities of developed and industrial countries and have published 14211 scientific articles in creditable journals. In this regard, a major portion of scientific production by Iranian faculty members had been published in the United States of America followed by Canada and Britain. In addition, founding showed that the subject of a significant portion of articles and scientific papers had been in the fields of engineering (3874), medicine (1623) and Biochemistry, Genetics and Biology (852). Brain drain from developing countries, particularly our country, to the developed and advanced countries has been started for many years and it is feared that it accelerated more and reach worrisome level. It seems necessary to consider this matter and make policies in this regard, and try to prevent the emigration of professionals and scientists and persuade Iranian faculty members in developed countries to return to our country.
