In this study, 300 abstracts of the publications approved by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology were investigated according to the abstractingstandard, ISO 214, using the descriptive-survey method and Cochran’s sampling in five areas of humanities, basic science, technical science and engineering, art and architecture, natural resources, agriculture and veterinary.
At first, through studying the abstracting standard ISO 214, the researcher specified 9 criteria in content and style and then evaluated each article by preparing a check-list. A zero (0) point is defined for non-compliance criteria and one (1) point for compliance criteria. After the investigation, the journal’s total points in accordance with the international standard ISO 214 were computed. The findings indicated that the compliance of the considered journals with ISO 214 is totally 88/66%. Furthermore, the rank of the articles’ criteria, using active verbs and avoiding abbreviations were considered 100% in all investigated abstracts. Then, the goal of research with 95%, using the third person pronouns with 94%, describing the results with 70% and explaining the research method with 55%.

The present research aimed at comparing the formats of abstracts among social sciences students at the MA level with other fields of studies regarding their appraisal based on the standards of ISO 214 between 2007 and 2011.
The study design was based on ex-post facto research and the data was collected through library search. Data included 3469 abstracts collection among the MA theses of the graduated students of Social Sciences, Politics, Knowledge and Information Science, Counseling, English language teaching, and Irrigation. The research instrument was a checklist developed by ISO 214 to check the criteria used to evaluate the appropriate formats of the abstracts at the MA level. This checklist was used to compare the MA abstract formats with those of standard abstracts written based on ISO 214.Analysis of the data was conducted through SPSS 17.
Findings: The Chi-square analysis indicated that 50% of the abstracts carried out ISO 214 standards and the rest prepared inappropriately concerned with their styles of writing, spelling, meaning and coherence. In terms of ranking the abstracts concerning their appropriateness, Knowledge and Information Science, Counseling and English language teaching MA abstracts were better than those of Social Sciences, Politics, and Irrigation majors.
The research may be useful for MA students and the supervisors since they need to follow ISO 214 to write their abstracts with clarity and effectiveness.

This survey aimed at providing a comparative analysis of the abstracts published in Persian journals of LIS and their consistency with APA standards. This survey used a content analysis method. Data were collected through the study of abstracts. Journals included in this study were as follows: Faslname-ye Ketab, Journal of Academic Librarianship and Information Science, Iranian Journal of Information Processing & Management, Library and Information Science Quarterly, Ganjine-ye Asnad, and Research on Information Sciences & Public Libraries. Of each publication, abstracts from 4 recent issues were studied. From a total of245 abstracts, 49.4 percent werestructured and 50.6 percent were unstructured. The mean score for structured abstracts was higher than that of the unstructured ones. Among the journals studied, abstracts published in Faslname-ye Ketabarewere more consistent with APA standards, while abstracts published in the Library and Information Science Quarterly observed the APA format the least. The most frequent omissionsin the abstracts studied was related to information about ''conclusions" and the least frequent omissions belonged to the "purpose". It was revealed that most of the Persian journals of LIS use structured abstracts, although the structures used were not thesame. Based on the findings, it seems that a structured formatincreases the quality of abstracts.

The aim of this survey is to compare the structured abstracts of the articles of Journal of Librarianship Central Library and Documentation Center University of Tehran with the unstructured abstracts of the same articles of this journal. This is an applied research which is done according to comparison method by the help of using three different tools: a:Quality control checklist scale,b:using Rudolph Flesch's Reading Ease Formula, c:An online QuestionerThe population of the research are two fold: a:The structured abstracts published during 2007 to 2008 in Journal of Librarianship Central Library and Documentation Center University of Tehran and unstructured abstracts prepared and submitted by the writers of the same articles to their first drafts. b:The academic members of the universities and their under graduate students. The results show that readers of the structured abstracts believe that they are easily retrievable and their readability rate is higher. At the end, preparing structured abstract for the articles in scientific journals and the evolution of this kind of abstracts is proposed.

Indexing and abstracting are the new methods of information organization. They are of high importance considering the growing development of channels of information production and also the necessity of enhancing speed and precision of access to information that has been produced. There are a large number of resources about indexing and abstracting which have been published to clarify the methods. The present paper aims to comprehensively analyze and evaluate Persian works about indexing and abstracting: books, dissertations and articles which have been published in the field of library and information science in Iran. The results show that the first Persian writings in the field of indexing and abstracting were published in the 1970s and the most dominant works of this field were published in the 2000s. Also for this four decade period examining indexing and abstracting in Iran, most of the published works of this field (books and articles) are compilation (not translation) mainly about indexing and its different aspects.

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.

This research aims to study the extent to w hich the ISO 214 standard is employed in writing the abstracts of the Ganjineh Asnad quarterly. A survey of 54 abstracts show's that 44.5 percent of the abstracts were indicative, 33.33 percent were indicative-informative and only 22.22 percent were informative. Furthermore, the ISO 214 standard has been observed in the informative abstracts more than the indicative abstracts. The research also shows that 83.3 percent of the abstracts of articles in the area of archival studies are in conformity with the ISO 214 standard, while this amount is 64.3 percent in abstracts of historical research articles. The extent to which the ISO 214 standard was observed in all the studied abstracts was 68.51 percent. Finally, the importance of accurate abstracts is emphasized and it is suggested to follow the ISO 214 standard in writing the abstracts.
