Doctorial theses are an important source of research findings. The aim of this study was to investigate the Ph.D. theses in the field of Knowledge and Science Information studies through content analysis. The research method was content analysis. Information was gathered through a checklist. The JITA classification system was implemented to investigate LIS subject trends. Sample of the research consists of 125 the Ph.D. theses in KIS selected of four Iranian universities (Tehran, Shahid Chamran, Ferdowsi, and Islamic Azad University, Tehran Branch). Findings: The largest number theses belonged to the years 2012 (%20) and the lowest number to the 2002 (%8). The results show that % 55/2 of the theses were written by men and %44/08 women. Survey method was the most widely used research method (%60/8), %94/4 of abstracts were unstructured. The most emphasized area of the researches were the Information Technology (%39/2), Management Functionalities (%31/2), and Theoretical and General Studies (%29/6) respectively. Also, the sub-topic most researched was "Libraries as physical collections" (%11/6). Dr. Ali Shakoei and Dr. Abbas Horri were identified as the most frequent supervisors. Numbers of the theses are increasing in the field of Information Technology due to different factors such as use of the advanced technologies in the world to improving infrastructures. Originality/ Value: This research is the first content analysis study on Ph.D. theses in the field of Knowledge and Information Science Studies in Iran.

This research aimed to conduct content analysis of the theses abstracts of library and information science (LIS) postgraduate students’ work completed at the Tehran North Branch and Science and Research Branch of the Islamic Azad University. Methodology/Approach: The research method was content analysis and the information gathering tool was a checklist. The study population contained all the Farsi abstracts of postgraduate students’ theses in LIS at Tehran North Branch and Science and Research Branch of the Islamic Azad University during a seven-year period (from the beginning of 2001 to the end of 2007), among which 156 theses were finally selected through random sampling. The findings of this research show that most of the theses were done in 2007 at the Science and Research Branch. Most of the theses used surveys and benefited from questionnaires as their information gathering tool. The results of this research show that the subjects of the theses studied are mostly in Information Technology and Information Communication and the least attractive subject of these theses is Management.

This research aims to study the extent to which the ISO standard is employed in writing the Persian abstracts of PhD theses of the courses of humanities in Islamic Azad University, Science and Research Campus. The method used was analytical survey: Persian abstracts of PhD theses of the courses of humanities and social science in five faculties of Humanities, Management and Economics, Law and Politics, Language and Literature, Islamic Science, and Philosophy in 1989-2005 were evaluated. 132 theses were selected using the method of cluster sampling. These samples were then assessed using an evaluation checklist based on the ISO abstracting standard. Findings showed that the extent to which the ISO abstracting standard was applied in Persian abstracts of PhD theses in the field of humanities is 38.98 percent and the standard deviation is 13.67. However among the Faculties of the Science and Research campus of the Islamic Azad University, the Faculty of Humanities has the most conformity with ISO abstracting standards which is about 48.88 percent and standard deviation of 12.68.
