The goal of this research is to identify the statistical errors in the articles published in the field of Educational Sciences. For this purpose, by using a two-stage clustering sampling method, 92 articles were selected out of 12 issues of the journals in Educational Sciences studied. The research design was based on document analysis and the method for analyzing the data was according to multiple comparisons by the use of error bars. The results showed that 39 articles out of 92 ones had at least one statistical error, and among this article, there were 49 common error including, error types listed based on frequency of occurrence: "Fitting the regression model without examining the assumptions of the residuals, Use of independent T-test without examining the homogeneity of variances (levene's test), false fitting of the structural equations model, Biased sampling method, Using the analysis of variance instead of T-test, Using Friedman's nonparametric test without considering the distribution of data, Mismatch results of the statistical analysis, Using the independent T-test instead of paired one, Interpreting the results of Levene's test instead of the results of T-test, Performing the follow-up test without performing the analysis of variance, and finally Analysis of statistical significance just based on the results of descriptive statistics". The results also showed that the highest frequency of errors is related to the extracted articles out of master's theses, organizational affliction related to Islamic Azad University, academic degree of the instructor, non-specialists in Educational Sciences, journals with a history of publication below 20 years and article with 3 authors.

Publishing articles in scientific journals is a way to enter the field of science, and getting acceptance for studies and findings of researchers. Certainly, such a process requires a careful and delicate work, and it could present updated and applied information based on experiences and new findings of the researcher. The importance of this process becomes more, when based on the published paper, other researchers begin new studies and use it as a reference due to its’ scientific credit. Production of science is also interlinked with the referee of scientific society. As a matter of fact, publication of scientific journals is based on the scientific referee. Through content analysis of rejected papers in the journal of educational innovations, we tried to identify, classify and prioritize the main drawbacks of the above-mentioned papers according to the referees’ views.To do so, we analyzed the contents of 402 referee documents of 207 rejected papers in the journal of educational innovations. It presents major faults with the articles from the viewpoint of arbitrators, and identifies, categorizes and prioritizes them. Findings of this study showed that from the viewpoint of the editorial board, the main drawbacks of rejected papers were not choosing an appropriate topic and lacking an academic structure (82.5%). Also, from the viewpoint of the referees, the papers drawbacks included lack of discussion and conclusion (14.9%), lack of research background (13.8%) and lack of theoretical framework (11.8%). Review of related papers and research makes the researcher aware of the studies conducted inside and outside the country on the related topic. Thus she/he faces issues that has been paid less attention, selects appropriate theoretical framework and these enables she/he to present a scientific and evidence-based discussion and conclusion. Sources mentioned within and at the end of paper would clearly display this fact.

The present study aimed at investigating and comparing the factors affecting research activities of faculty members of Basic Sciences and Humanities in Payame Noor University. This descriptive study was of correlation kind. The statistical population (N=120) and the statistical sample were chosen through census method. A researchermade questionnaire was applied in order to collect data. The content validity of the questionnaire was achieved according to experts’ views in research field and Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was 0.84. To analyze data, Pearson correlation analysis, two-variable regression analysis, one-way ANOVA and U-Man Whitney test were imployed. Findings showed that variables such as academic rank, employment status, level of shared activity, administrative responsibilities, access to databases and information resources, mastery on research methods, computer skills, English language proficiency and time allocated to non-scientific tasks had significant meaningful relationship with the amount of scientific activities. The results of multiple regression analysis showed that the employment status, academic rank, level of mastery on research methods, computer skills, English language profeciency, time allocated to non-scientific activities, the amount of shared activities, and access to databases and information resources had respectively the highest to the lowest beta coefficients with the amount of research activities of faculty members.
