Universities at the highest level of society's education system use various strategies to increase quality and respond to existing issues, among which the role of faculty members is essential. The continuous personal development of faculty members and the evaluation of their duties is one of the characteristics of a successful university. The system of assessment and promotion of faculty members is one of the tools for regulating the overall performance of higher education, and updating and revising its indicators is necessary. In Iran, despite many revisions, this system is still subject to various criticisms, one of the most important of which is the need for more attention to the differences, such as the fields of the humanities becoming more prominent and needing to formulate strategic policies. Therefore, this study aims to investigate the evaluation policies of humanities in selected universities of the world with a policy-research approach, extract evaluation indicators, and compare them with the indicators of the evaluation system in Iran. The research is a qualitative study with a comparative approach, and by using the documentary study method, the performance evaluation policies of the faculty members in the subgroups of the humanities in the selected universities were extracted and compared with the internal standards. The research population was the relevant documents in the universities of the world, which were chosen purposefully, and they are also the regulations for the promotion of faculty members in Iran. To review foreign documents, first, universities were selected that are considered excellent according to the Times 2022 university ranking system in the field of humanities and arts; And then universities that are similar to our country in terms of the higher education system and cultural, social and economic conditions; For this purpose, the countries of the region and the Islamic world, and beyond that, Asian countries were selected, which finally included 25 universities based on the availability of relevant documents. The evaluation system of the humanities of the world includes the three dimensions of education (with nine indicators and 59 measures), research (with eight indicators and 83 measures), and service (with three indicators and 30 measures). The comparison with the internal regulations showed that education is of great importance. The measures related to each index are much more detailed and comprehensive. The professors in the world's universities who participate in various professional activities receive educational points. The variety of indicators in the research for world universities is much more than the internal regulations that emphasize the outputs in the study, while the output index with nearly 30 metrics is only one of the research indicators in the world universities. Next, the services of the selected universities are multifaceted according to the internal regulations and include promotion activities in society to fulfill responsibilities in the government and professional associations. Things like appearing in the media, giving speeches, participating in civil institutions, consulting services to students and peers, etc., are among the services that are not included in the internal regulations. Considering the differences in humanities and the inefficiency of Iran's research in this field in recent years, the necessity of revising the regulations for the promotion and specific rules to the field of humanities is increasingly felt. Updating the current regulations based on the findings of this research for humanities faculty members can be more prosperous, more appropriate, and more consistent with the educational, research, and executive missions expected from this field.

The article examines the scientific production of artificial intelligence (AI) in Iran and identifies the top scientific productions of AI in the field of macro-research topics at the national level.
The research method was descriptive-applied with a Scientometrics approach. The paper reviewed 804 Persian works on Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Islamic World Science Citation Center (ISC) between 2002 and 2024. To index thematic articles with a quantitative approach, Scientometrics techniques were used to define thematic terms through semi-automatic indexing. A total of 357 keywords, repeated 2807 times, represented the research topic.
Scientific productions have been done in six subject areas: Humanities (285 articles), Engineering (182 articles), Agriculture (125 articles), Medical (102 articles), Environment and Natural Resources (62 articles), Science (48 articles). The most frequent topics in Humanities include stock market, economic development and planning, money and financial institutions, financial management, accounting, auditing and law, economics, information management, and human resources management. In Engineering, topics such as structure, hydraulic structures, transportation, water resources, information technology, marine structures, data processing, earthquake, control, and identification technology were prevalent. In Agriculture, topics covered include agriculture management, water resources, irrigation, soil science, drainage, waste management, environment, soil protection, and mechanization and mechanics of agricultural machines. Medical topics encompass general medicine, diseases, medical science, health, biotechnology, psychiatry, clinical psychology, pathology, physiology, and neuroscience. Environment and natural resources topics include watershed management, natural resources management, watersheds, environment, ecology, soil protection, forest and forestry, environment management, desert, and environment pollution. Science topics cover geology generalities, geochemistry, stratigraphy, sedimentology, applied mathematics, social aspects of sciences, geophysics, science and technology, and applied geology, which were identified as the most important topics emphasized by AI scientific productions in Iran. Humanities and Engineering were among the first fields to have scientific works in the field of AI in ISC since 2002. Since 2008, Science and Agriculture in ISC have published works in the field of AI, environment, and natural resources, succeeding in producing valid scientific works in the field of AI since 2009. Compared to other major research fields, the medical field entered the AI field with a delay, and its first productions are from 2011. In all major research areas of Iran, the trend of scientific production of AI has been growing. Humanities, as the oldest field, and Medical, as the youngest field, have shown a better growth chart than others. Water Resources Engineering Journal and Amirkabir Journal of Civil Engineering, with the most published articles in the field of AI (12 articles), were recognized as the best in this field in Iran. Signal and Data Processing and Water and Soil Science ranked second by publishing 11 articles, and the Journal of Water and Soil Conservation ranked third by publishing 10 articles in the field of AI. The University of Tehran was recognized as the most prominent university in Iran with the most AI scientific productions in Humanities, Environment, Natural Resources, and Science, while the University of Tabriz won the first rank in AI scientific productions in Engineering and Agriculture. Isfahan University of Medical Sciences achieved the highest position of AI scientific products in Medical. Roya Darabi, a prominent figure in the field of Humanities, published 8 articles; Vahid Nourani, with the publication of 8 articles, is a prominent figure in the field of Engineering; Kiyoumars Roushangar, with the publication of 4 articles, is a prominent figure in the field of Agriculture; Javad Haddadnia, with the publication of 3 articles, is a prominent figure in the medical field; Jamshid Piri, with the publication of 3 articles, is a prominent figure in the field of environment and natural resources; Ata Allah Nadiri was recognized as a prominent figure in the field of basic science in AI scientific productions by publishing 5 articles.
The findings of the current research offer insights from Iran's research perspective in the field of artificial intelligence, providing valuable information for the scientific community, technology, and innovation policy makers. The analysis, derived from observing Iran's artificial intelligence scientific productions at ISC, is of interest not only to artificial intelligence experts but also to other researchers and the general public. By identifying notable cases in the field of artificial intelligence in Iran, a strategy can be developed to facilitate further cooperation and interaction, aiming to achieve optimal results.

In addition to the distinction between the field of humanities and other sciences in terms of their nature and research goals, different disciplines within the humanities also possess distinct characteristics. This study aims to identify the disadvantages of evaluating humanities research outputs, with a specific focus on the fields of language and literature. It also aims to provide solutions to improve the evaluation of researchers in these areas. 

The present study is an applied type research with a qualitative content analysis method. The study's statistical population included faculty members from language and literature fields with various Persian and non-Persian orientations (English, Arabic, French, German, and Chinese) in Iran. The research sample consisted of 24 individuals, including 19 men and 5 women who were at least Assistant professors from 8 universities: Isfahan, Tarbiat Modarres, Tehran, Al-Zahra, Shahid Chamran Ahvaz, Shiraz, Allameh Tabatabaei, and Ferdowsi of Mashhad. The participants were selected using targeted sampling and the snowball method. The semi-structured interview was used as a research tool, and MAXQDA 2020 qualitative data analysis software was utilized for coding. Theoretical coding involves three stages: open coding, axial coding, and selective coding. To ensure credibility, the opinions of two coders were sought. Also, the results of the coding were sent to three interviewees who played a significant role in expressing injuries and proposing solutions. They were asked to comment on the compatibility of the extracted codes with their own experiences. The terms and details of the work are explained in detail within the plan for the transferability criterion. In order to measure dependability, all the stages and processes of the research were recorded and reported accurately from the beginning to the end, mentioning the details of the data analysis, and excerpts from the text of the interviews were presented. For confirmability, the findings were provided to 5 interviewees and peers to express their opinions about the results. 

Evaluation harms were identified through 62 codes. The concept of science production and the promotion of knowledge foundations were investigated in two general areas (humanities) and a specific area (language and literature) with different components. The general area includes the establishment of policies for evaluating research output, the inclusion of research output ratings in promotion regulations, and considerations of research ethics. The specific area includes the evaluation of research outputs in the promotion regulations, publications, international article publications, theoretical contributions, research style of faculty members, and literary and creative works. The concept of practicality and addressing societal issues also encompasses two aspects: disconnecting the relationship between language and literature fields and society, and teaching language and literature fields. The solutions were presented in the form of 34 codes. The concept of science production and the promotion of knowledge foundations were investigated in two general areas (humanities) and a specific area (language and literature) with different components. The general area includes the development of policies for evaluating research output, the inclusion of research output ratings in promotion regulations, and the improvement of research facilities and resources. The specific area includes the evaluation of research outputs in the promotion regulations, the research approach of faculty members, and research facilities. The concept of practicality and addressing societal issues also encompasses two aspects of applied research: the connection between the disciplines of language and literature and society. 

If the evaluation is conducted accurately and comprehensively, and it clearly indicates the gap between the current situation and the desired outcome, it will minimize trial and error in this field and reduce costs associated with ineffective and unnecessary tasks. It accelerates the steps towards success and progress. The essence of evaluation is optimizing performance. The competition to obtain the best scientific position among researchers, educational groups, and research institutes has gained great importance and momentum. The health of such a competition and its correct orientation will be possible through planning for accurate evaluation, and a review of the evaluation policy of academic faculty members of universities and higher education is one of the fundamental needs in this direction. The results of the present study can be utilized as an effective measure to enhance the current situation.

 Editorial Board Metrics (EBM) is used to determine the performance, effectiveness, and role of editorial board members and journal editors in policymaking and designing a roadmap for the future of journals. This study analyzed and evaluated indexed journals in health sciences, biological sciences, arts, and humanities using EBM.

 Social Network Analysis (SNA) was used to visualize the interconnections of editorial board members and journals. For this purpose, centrality indices were used, including degree centrality, closeness centrality, and betweenness centrality. Data analysis was performed in two descriptive and inferential sections for editorial board members (2813 individuals) and journals (200 journals) using statistical methods such as frequency, percentage, mean, Kendall's Tau-b coefficient, Chi-square test, and software such as UCINET, SPSS, Net Draw, and Python.

 The research findings on the status of the impact factor of journals indicate that in the field of humanities and arts, the "Journal of Applied Issues in Islamic Education" with 1.095 has the highest impact factor. In the field of health sciences, "Iranian Journal of Ageing (Salmand)- Waiting List" with 0.446 has the highest impact factor, and in the field of biological sciences, "Plant Genetic Researches - Primary List" with 0.37 has the highest impact factor in each subject area. Some journals in the fields of humanities and arts have a high self-citation rate, including journals that have over 80% self-citation in the field of humanities and arts, such as "The Journal of Nahjolbalagheh" (77.80%) and "Journal of Kurdish Literature" and "Persian Language and Iranian Dialects" (100%). Ahad Faramarz Gharamaleki (Professor at the University of Tehran) and Mohammad Hassan Ghadrdan Gharamaleki (Professor at the Institute of Culture and Islamic Thought) have the highest level of interlocking (frequency 5). Of 368 individuals with co-authorship, 333 are male, and 35 are female. Regarding academic rank, the "Professor" with 71.76% and "the Associate Professor" with 15.48% have the highest share in the editorial board community.

 Of the 2,813 individuals who collaborated in 200 journals, 368 editorial board members had to interlock. The results indicate a significant negative relationship between the impact factor and the interlocking of the social science research journals and between the number of citations received by journals and their interlocking. Furthermore, there is a correlation between a rise in journal quartiles and a decrease in interlocking. According to the results, the number of journal quartiles is a significant negative predictor of interlocking. The Immediacy Index (II) of journals, the Median Impact Factor (MIF) in the macro subject, the number of articles, and the self-citation index are not significant predictors of interlocking. Considering the role of editorial board members in the development and quality improvement of journals through reviewing and selecting topics, the effort to form more diverse editorial boards with less interlocking will not only bring more diverse research output to the publishing world, deposit; which will create a positive competitive environment with a broader range of votes.

Considering the function of humanities and its comparison with other sciences, this research seeks to examine the scientific outputs and the weight of each, evaluation criteria and indicators, and the relationship between each output and criteria in the evaluation of these sciences Especially in language and literature. In terms of purpose, the research is applied, and in terms of the research implementation process, it is of a sequential and exploratory type. The steps of the work are as follows: 1. Identification and weighting of scientific outputs through the three steps of the library method, conducting interviews, and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP); 2. Identifying the evaluation criteria of scientific outputs with the library method; and 3. determining priorities for evaluating scientific outputs through concurrent function deployment (CFD). Based on the findings, scientific outputs were divided into two categories: 1. Formats: scientific journal article, conference article, book, research project, and dissertation/thesis; 2. Activity: in policy-making, social (scientific-promotional), social (media), and economic contexts. Evaluation criteria are also divided into 8 categories: platform for creation, presentation and publication; writing structure; content; impact in online environment; scientific impact; social impact; economic impact; and cultural impact, each of which includes indicators. Finally, outputs and criteria have been prioritized according to three approaches and goals: production of science and promotion of knowledge foundations, applicability and responsiveness to society’s problems, literary creation/creative literature. Considering the importance and necessity of different evaluation of each field and discipline according to the nature of each one as an effective factor on the application and effectiveness of their scientific outputs, research policy makers can use a new approach in decision-making and establishing policies for evaluating the scientific outputs of the language and literature fields and humanities according to the results.

This research was done with the aim of identifying and analyzing the intellectual structure of knowledge formed in the field of social studies after the emergence and spread of the Covid-19 pandemic. This research is descriptive-applied in nature. The method of the present research is ultra-composite and in practice, while adopting a trans-discipline approach, it has benefited from the hierarchical clustering method and drawing a strategic diagram. Therefore, due to the use of known scientometric tools, it can also be seen as scientometric research. The statistical population of the study was 38,994 articles indexed on the Web of Science website in the leading countries in publishing scientific works from five continents during the period 2019-2021, and a total of 25,548 keywords were analyzed in Bibexel, ucinet, and SPSS software. Examining the content of these studies in three clusters: "Multiple dimensions of crises in the shadow of the Covid-19 pandemic crisis (first cluster)", "Ethics, justice and persuasive participation in society (second cluster)" and "Education and technological infrastructure (third cluster) »Was categorized and registered. The first cluster with high comprehensiveness and breadth is an important and effective cluster. The second and third clusters, as prominent and emerging domains, have high internal correlation and good cohesion; However, none of the clusters have reached the stage of maturity and stability.

This research was carried out with the serious concern of creating an effective relationship between research and the needs of society and industry in the field of humanities and social sciences. The research aims to develop a model to measure the readiness level of humanities and social science research to be applied. The logic of this model is inspired by the well-known Technology Readiness Level (TRL) concept. Data collection was done through semi-structured interviews with 27 deans of universities and research institutes, experts, and policymakers in the field of science, research and technology. The data collection process continued until reaching theoretical saturation and data analysis was done by thematic analysis method. Among the four approaches proposed in the field of relationship between humanities and social science research with the concept of technology readiness level, (TRL), the fourth approach, i.e., the replacement approach, was considered. Further, instead of Technology Readiness levels that show the maturity level of a technology to enter the field of application, two criteria of enablers and results were replaced as the main themes of the model. Based on the developed model, education, research, dissemination, and promotion were considered enablers; and economic, socio-cultural and governance results were considered as results. Based on the system view of this model, enablers of humanities and social science research can implicitly be the foundation for the realization of practical achievements and results of humanities and social science research through improving processes and capacities.

 The purpose of the present study is to compare the thematic trends of scientific productions related to Covid 19 in the fields of humanities and social sciences in Iran and the leading countries of the five continents based on the studies of Web of Science. 

 The present scientometric research has a descriptive-analytical interdisciplinary approach through social network and co-word analysis techniques which is one of the methods of content analysis. Bibexecl, Gephi, and SPSS software were used to analyze the data, and VosViewer software was used to draw thematic clusters.

 The United States, England, China, Australia, and South Africa are the leading countries. Iran ranks 37th in the world and 13th in Asia. Co-word clustering in US studies consisted of 6 clusters, in Chinese and South African studies, 7 clusters, in British studies, 8 clusters, in Australian and Iranian studies 10 clusters. The clusters of "China and Australia", "The UK, and the United States" have thematic overlap, however, there are more clusters in the studies of Australia and Iran. There is a positive and significant relationship between the amounts of scientific production related to Covid 19 in humanities and social sciences and the prevalence of the disease (number of patients) in Iran and the leading countries. There was no significant difference between countries in terms of the number of citations received; The number of scientific productions of countries in the fields of humanities and social sciences and health is not significantly different from each other; There is a positive and significant relationship between the rate of scientific production of Covid 19 in the fields of humanities and social sciences and the prevalence of the disease (number of patients) in Iran and leading countries.

 Based on the results, the emergence of Covid-19 as an important health and social issue has made the management of various economic, social, cultural, and political complications inevitable. It is in this direction that in the results of this research, the repetition of concepts such as empowerment, participation, governance, management, and crisis management, etc. can be seen. This shows the existence of new thinking and policies in the post-coronavirus era to control and contain such a crisis. Also, according to the results of the research, "depression, mental health, risk, social media, crisis management, influence" are frequent in Chinese studies from the Asian continent. The most centrality of degree, closeness, and betweenness is related to the concept of "resilience". In England, from the European continent, "higher education, online learning, management, innovation, mental health, depression, society, engagement, motivation, knowledge" are the most important trends of researchers. The most centrality of the degree, closeness, and betweenness is related to the keywords "crisis and motivation". In the United States of America, "depression, stress, social support, education, participation, influence, management, leadership, employment, self-education, distance education, and science" are more common and the most important subject tendencies of researchers in this field. The most centrality of the degree, closeness, and intermediateness is related to the keyword "distance education". The most centrality of the degree, closeness, and intermediation is "distance education". "Social media, education, literacy, society, satisfaction, influence, mental health, poverty, governance, and humanities" are frequent in South African studies from the African continent and constitute the most important intellectual tendencies of researchers in this field; The most centrality of degree, closeness, and intermediateness is "higher education and poverty". In the studies of Australia from the Oceania continent, "education, technology, tourism, management, science, culture, social work, mental health, depression, anxiety, neoliberalism" are frequent and important and are the most important trends of researchers; The most centrality of degree, closeness and intermediateness is related to "crisis and gender". In Iranian studies, "depression, influence, behavior, perception of risk" have a central place among the most important tendencies of researchers; In the studies of this country, the most centrality of degree, closeness, and intermediateness is related to the keyword "simulation". In this way, in the subject area under discussion, there are also differences in the subject tendencies between countries. However, in a general look at the results of the cluster analysis of the studied countries, it can be said that the clusters of the countries of China and Australia with topics such as "technology and media, management and mental health" and the clusters of the countries of England and the United States with topics such as "depression, society, education, participation, management, online learning, and science and knowledge" have thematic overlap.

Performance indicators are a suitable tool for the implementation of infrastructural, research and process-oriented management projects in universities and higher education institutions, as well as the evaluation of these institutions, which can be used to compare the past performance, current and desired status of the institutions with the standards. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of non-governmental research institutions in Iran in the fields of humanities and engineering. This is an applied research that was conducted with a scientometrics approach and based on the evaluation model of the Sanandaj handbook. The research community are non-governmental research institutions that have received permission from the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. In this study, two institutes from both fields that had better performance among their peers were selected for comprehensive evaluation. In general, the evaluation results showed that the "B" engineering field institute has a good situation compared to the "A" humanities institute. Undoubtedly, the use of short-term, medium-term and long-term strategic plans and the promotion of research activities in the Institute of Engineering have not been without influence. It is necessary for non-governmental research institutions to prepare or revise the strategic plan and annual self-evaluations in accordance with the dimensions and indicators of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, to provide the basis for growth and promotion in order to be effective and fulfill their mission in the research field of the country.

The present study intends to explain the criteria for measuring specialized books, to provide criteria for book ranking so that experts can evaluate and rank the book using the presented criteria.

Methodology/Approach: 

This study, because it uses library-based texts as well as the perspectives of experts from large universities to gather information, is categorized as descriptive-survey research in terms of how data is collected. The statistical population of the present study is 2449 experts in the fields of humanities and behavioral sciences of the country's major universities. The collected information was analyzed and analyzed through a questionnaire with SPSS software. Descriptive indicators (frequency, frequency and mean) and inferential tests (Friedman) were used to analyze the data.

The present study showed that from the point of view of experts in the field of humanities in major universities, publishing and publishing criteria, creator, translator, authored content, translated content, structure and appearance in evaluating and ranking specialized books in the field of humanities. It can be fundamental.Discussion and

The result of the present study is to provide evaluation criteria that can be very important for both professionals and librarians to collect resources, resource ranking criteria can be useful for publishers to produce quality resources. Using the views of experts in the present study, it is possible to qualitatively rank the works by prioritizing the criteria by the experts in each field of knowledge. These rankings can help readers and researchers find higher quality resources, and librarians can help select and purchase higher quality resources if a large organization has ranked them. With the use of new tools, the speed of access to information may have improved, but the problem of finding reliable and quality resources remains strong, and ranking resources can play a role in solving this problem. Resource ranking criteria can also be useful for publishers to produce quality resources. Using the views of experts in the present study, it is possible to qualitatively rank the works by prioritizing the criteria by the experts in each field of knowledge. These rankings can help readers and researchers find higher quality resources, and librarians can help select and purchase higher quality resources if a large organization has ranked them. Criteria can also be important for libraries that self-evaluate resources. Using the criteria, libraries will be able to evaluate their collection and provide the recommended book quality rating to their users. It may not be necessary for libraries to review all of the criteria mentioned in the present study, especially since it has been clearly demonstrated in the prioritization made by experts that some criteria are more important than others in a field of knowledge. In library policy, the ranking can only be limited to important criteria, or non-important items can be removed from the set of criteria in each field and the final ranking can be given from the total number of evaluated criteria. ,

Scientific authority is one of the keywords that are frequently used in upstream documents and macro policies of science, technology and innovation of the country, but usually appropriate evaluation indicators of its measurement are not transparently presented. Approval of the executive regulation of Iran's science, technology and innovation monitoring system in the Supreme Council of Science, Research and Technology (CSRT) in 2017 is a turning point in Iran's science, technology and innovation system. However, due to the soft nature and complexity of the fundamentals of the Humanities, monitoring and evaluation of science, technology and innovation in this field has been accompanied by difficulties. Therefore, setting a framework for the indicators of scientific authority evaluation in the Humanities is more important than ever before. From the perspective of the purpose, this paper seeks to provide an appropriate framework for monitoring and evaluation indicators of educational, scientific and developmental authority of the Humanities using upstream documents and related international experiences. In reviewing the background of the research, this section includes two subdivisions including the International Monitoring and Evaluation of Science, Technology and Innovation Experiences in the Field of Humanities (in which the experience of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences, International Social Science Council, European Commission, British Academy and the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences have been studied in the field of Humanities monitoring), as well as analysis of upstream documents related to the research (General Policies of Science and Technology Announcement of the Supreme Leader, Science and Technology Roadmap, Document of the fundamental transformation of education and also Document of the Islamic University) that the results extracted in accordance with the executive regulations of the system of monitoring and evaluation of science, Iran's technology and innovation has been examined. The research method in this paper is applied in terms of type, its basic strategy is qualitative and descriptive. For this purpose, both primary data (policy documents, reports, and international dashboards) extracted from study sources and secondary data (holding 8 expert panel meetings and structured interviews with 5 selected members of panels) have been exploited. In order to examine the findings, indicators derived from the analysis of relevant international experiences and policy documents (background review) following the executive regulations of Iran's science, technology and innovation monitoring system which includes eleven criteria have been investigated. According to the specific topic of this article, which is the explanation of the indicators of monitoring and evaluation of educational, scientific and extension authority of the Humanities, four categories of the mentioned regulations including a. general and professional education, b. higher education, c. scientific publications and d. promoting science, technology and innovation are considered. In the final section, the final framework of the indicators of educational, scientific and extension authority in the field of Humanities is summarized in the following four categories: General and professional education of Humanities (including quantity and quality of general and professional Humanities education); Higher education in the Humanities (including the quantity and quality of higher education in Humanities); Scientific publications of Humanities (including publication of books, quantity and quality of research, and quantity and quality of scientific articles in the field of Humanities); Promoting science, technology and innovation in the field of Humanities (including publications (magazines, and public books), events (specialized exhibitions, conferences, etc.), cyberspace (including databases, social networks, etc.) in the field of Humanities and promotion centers); The novelty of this paper's compared to the previous studies is considering Iran's peculiarities in monitoring and evaluating humanities toward attaining scientific authority. We also note that achieving the desired results in evaluation and monitoring of the status of scientific, educational and extension authority of the Humanities depend on cooperation and unity of procedural practices of the trustee organizations and institutions. It is expected that responsible entities, while executing their responsibilities, collaborate in collecting and analyzing relevant data to minort and assess scientific authority of humanities.

The purpose of this study is to determine the status of knowledge management in the titles of specialized doctoral courses in the humanities of higher education.

The present study is a type of mixed exploratory research projects. Hence, a combination of qualitative and quantitative methods has been used. First, the components of knowledge management were extracted by content analysis method with inductive approach, and based on that, a questionnaire in the form of 9 main components and 44 questions was prepared and provided to the experts. In addition, the checklist was prepared in the form of 442 sub-items..

In content analysis of 2250 specialized courses in 11 humanities disciplines in the doctoral program, 3260 identifiers were extracted. This study showed that knowledge sharing 25.46%, knowledge application 17.48%, knowledge change 12.73%, knowledge creation 11.75%, knowledge identification 9.97%, knowledge organization 7.73%, knowledge development 23 6.6% obtained knowledge presentation, 4.97% and knowledge protection obtained 3.68% of the data.

In order to prepare graduates as capable future leaders, higher education needs to play a pivotal and effective role in teaching knowledge management to students. Utilizing knowledge management-based curricula facilitates the skills needed to apply and rely on knowledge. Applying standard methods in education and research prepares future managers to present and share knowledge in organizations. Knowledge management promotes a comprehensive approach to identifying, capturing, retrieving, sharing and evaluating the knowledge capital of organizations.

Since 2001s (1380s according to the Iran’s solar calendar), the increasing rate of writing and publishing scientific articles in Iran has become very intense. This caused in addition to the governmental organizations, such as Irandoc & the National Library and Archives of the Islamic Republic of Iran, numerous other online systems, such as the General Portal of Humanities, Noormags, Magiran, Elmnet, Civilica, etc, to manage knowledge and to provide structured archives of the scientific documents. Each of these archives provides facilities to the user. One of these facilities is searching on the documents. An accurate search can greatly improve the usage of these online systems. To increase the accuracy of the search result, it is necessary to determine the scientific field of articles. Classifying large volumes of scientific resources in different fields is very time-consuming. Using machinery methods can be a solution to reduce the severity of the task.The main contribution of this paper is to provide a classification model to classify Persian scientific articles. Although in previous studies, the classification task has been mainly used for simple texts, in this study, the neural network-based classification models, such as convolutional and perceptron neural networks, are used with the contextualized semantic representation, such as ParsBERT; and the results are compared with the other common method utilized for vectorization, namely Word2Vec. To this end, we use the data from the General Portal of Humanities, which includes various articles in the Humanities and each article contains the label of the field. One of the neural network characteristics is that a set of hidden features from the data in the vector space is created and used to train the model. According to the experimental results, the Perceptron classifier that utilized ParsBERT representation obtained the highest performance which is 74.71% based on the Micro F-score, and 72.55% based on the Macro F-score.

The purpose of the present study is to analyze the publication       patterns of the humanities and social sciences domain (HSSD) in the top 50 leading countries in comparison with their total publications at the Web of    Science (WoS) during the years of 1990-2017.

This study was conducted by scientometrics approach. Data were collected from WoS and entered into Excel software and analyzed with descriptive and inferential statistics.

The findings showed that out of 48329064 publications in 50 under-studied countries, 8517586 records (17.62%) have been published in the HSSD. The average growth rate of publication for the 50 countries in all disciplines was about 37% and in the HSSD it was about 45%. In all scientific disciplines, the Iranian publications’ growth rate was 117%, which is 3.16 times larger than the average global growth rate. Also, the investigation of growth rate in the HSSD showed that China is at the top with 103%, while Iran with 100 % and Indonesia with 98% ranked second and third respectively.

The humanities and social sciences publications in the 50% of under-studied countries is lower than publications of Pure Science, this shows the need for serious attention of these countries to HSSD researches.

The objective of the present study was to explore the views and experiences of Shiraz University’s Humanities and Social Sciences faculty members who are associate or full professors and have membership in Shiraz University Promotion Committees; it focused on four dimensions of challenges and weaknesses, strengths, consequences of implementing the regulation and the proposed implications.

In this qualitative descriptive phenomenological study, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 14 professors in Humanities and Social Sciences faculties. After transcribing the audio files of the interviews, the data were coded through three stages of open coding, axial coding and selective coding. Finally, 114 open codes, 21 axial codes, and 4 selective codes concerning the Promotion Regulation were discovered.

Findings showed that the challenges of Promotion Regulation include the victimization of the humanities, great emphasis on research and exclusion of other aspects, especially education, emphasis on quantity and lack of attention to quality, taste of committees concerning the Promotion Regulation, and a uniform regulation for all fields.

Previous research on Promotion Regulation in Iran have been quantitative research and most of them addressed the viewpoints of faculty members generally; However, the present study was a qualitative one and, more importantly, the Promotion Regulation was inspected in terms of humanities and social sciences experts’ perspectives

Conducting research in humanities sciences in Iran is faces with different barriers, including the small number of researchers, financial resources shortage, weak research infrastructure, etc.  Adressing these barriers is required for advancement in humanities sciences and exploring these barriers is the first step to address them, properly. The purpose of this study is to identify the key challenges of and barriers to research in the field of humanities in Iran. Several studies have been shed light on challenges of conducting research in humanities in Iran, which contain relevant data. In this research, through a "systematic review", 32 relevant studies (such as theses and dissertations, journal articles, and conference papers) were sampled for fulltext reading and analysis. Collected data were analyzed by coding method and dimensions of barriers were identified. Nearly 200 barriers to research in the humanities have been highlighted in academic literature, which can be summarized into 93 indicators and seven broad dimensions, namley poor social context, weak infrastructure, inefficient organization and management, inappropriate policy-making, incompetent researchers, incompatible rules and regulations, and distinct nature of humanities sciences. Perhaps policy-makers have been played a significant role in emergence of barriers. This study is the first attempt to take a comprehensive view on the barriers and challenges of conducting research in the humanities in Iran. The research policy-makers and decision-makers must be aware of the barriers and challenges that are impactful on research in order to design and implement appropriate and efficient policies and plans. The findings of this study can provide a better understanding of the barriers to reaserch in humanities sciences in Iran.

Increasingly, researchers and universities are demanded to demonstrate the relevance of their publicly funded research projects to societal challenges and development. This societal contribution is referred to as research impact in Iran. The primary purpose of the present study was to evaluate the challenges of creating research impact in Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) in Iran’s context. To do so, we investigated participants' viewpoints from the research community and potential research users.

This was a qualitative study with an explanatory orientation to address the study aim. Participants were SSH researchers and research managers at Iranian national universities as well as representatives of governmental organizations that had direct roles in the production or the use of research results. We used purposeful snowball sampling to identify participants with relevant knowledge and experience. Accordingly, we carried out semi-structured interviews with 16 participants. For analyzing the data, the grounded theory method was used, and then a final theory was formed.

Data from the interviews represented broad challenges in the process of research to impact. Specifically, these challenges were classified into six categories, namely, the core phenomenon, causal, contextual, and intervening conditions, strategies, and consequences. Each of these categories relates to a different aspect of challenges that researchers or potential users face in knowledge mobilization and uptake of research evidence.

The study revealed that the main obstacle to creating research impact in SSH in Iran is the lack of a definition for knowledge mobilization that is appropriate to SSH research. The current definitions and structures in universities are not consistent with the characteristics of SSH research and its audience. Furthermore, since this definition is not consistent with the nature of SSH research, researchers do not receive the necessary incentives and support for this purpose and are not able to integrate knowledge mobilization activities with their current academic activities and responsibilities. These findings emphasize the role of universities in facilitating the impact creation process by employing appropriate definitions and structures for knowledge mobilization.

The purpose of this study was to identify the indices of creation and development of knowledge-based companies in the fields of humanities.
This is a descriptive and quantitative study. The statistical population of the present study included experts, experts, and expert managers based in Khuzestan province who were active in knowledge and commercialization companies. The researcher-made questionnaire was randomly distributed among 160 subjects who were selected through a census method. Since the population size is equal to the sample size, the whole number method was used. In the questionnaire, the relationships between the elements and the identification of indices were analyzed using Smart PLS3 software and the indices were ranked using SPSS 25 software and the results were tested using Kendall's coefficient of correlation.
To achieve the goal of the present study, in the first step, with comprehensive library studies and evaluation of the results of relevant past studies, a number of dimensions and indicators of creation and development of knowledge-based companies in the humanities were identified and extracted. In the second step, using the Delphi method and distributing a researcher made questionnaire among 20 experts who were experts in the field of knowledge-based economy, another group of dimensions and indices were extracted. Then, by combining the results of these two steps, the final effective components were developed. The results of the research showed that six main indices and 22 sub-indices influence the creation and development of knowledge based companies in the fields of humanities. The results of ranking the indices of establishing and development of knowledge-based companies in the humanities showed that the indice of educational and research activities is the most important and the indice of publishing and disseminating knowledge is the least important.
The results showed that the research indices are as follows: Educational and research activities index, Management and policy index, Platform and infrastructure index, Communication and scientific networks index, Knowledge dissemination and dissemination index. The overall result showed that the humanities could be the catalyst for commercialization in the creation and development of knowledge-based companies. Knowledge-based companies also provide an opportunity for the humanities to depart from the theoretical field and play a role in the application of humanities in the field of practice and the real environment of society. Finally, a model of indicators and factors for the creation and development of knowledge-based companies in the fields of humanities was presented. The obtained model states that all these indicators are necessary for the success of the applied approach of the humanities in the knowledge-based companies and in the absence of any of these indicators, commercialization and application of the humanities can be challenged. The obtained model indicates that all indices are necessary for the success of the approach to the application of humanities in knowledge-based companies; the absence of any of these indicators can challenge the commercialization and application of the humanities. It is recommended to strengthen the approach of application in the humanities compared to other natural sciences.

The purpose of the present study is to review the findings of the researches of Iranian and world research on the evaluation of scientific products in the fields of humanities and social sciences and suggested methods and indicators for evaluating scientific products in these fields.
This study was conducted using a systematic review method. For this purpose, relevant researches were searched in international and domestic databases without regard to time limit and finally, a total of 45 articles were analyzed.
Given that publishing and citation patterns in the humanities and social sciences are different from basic, natural and engineering sciences, they cannot be compared and evaluated with the same methods and indices. The unique nature of humanities and social science research is such that quantitative methods such as bibliometric and scientometric methods cannot be used to assess the quality of research in this field.
Conclustion: In order to evaluate the quality of the scientific outputs of humanities and social sciences, quantitative approaches should be considered as complementary methods along with qualitative approaches. The indicators and criteria used for these areas should be a combination of quantitative and qualitative indicators.

This study aims to investigate and analyze the altmetric indicators of journals in the field of "Social Sciences and Humanities" in the Sage Scientific Database, as well as examine the relationship between the altmetric indicators and the qualitative performance of journals in the Scopus database.
The study is applied research in terms of the purpose, including an analytical approach that uses Altmetrics quantitative indicators from "Altmetric Explorer" database and quality performance indicators of publications through "Scopus" and "Sage" database gathered in Excel at the journal level. Both descriptive and inferential statistics utilized to analyze data in SPSS software.
11.56 % of the surveyed journals, did not have altmetric attention Score. Just 3.26 % of the journals had altmetric coverage of 100%. Sub-field of Psychology and Counseling based on two quantitative indicators allocated significant contribution. Twitter was by far the most important social media (66.49%). There is a positive significant correlation between the altmetric coverage indicator and quality performance metrics, as well as mean altmetric score and quality performance metrics.
Conclustion: Higher quality journals in the field get more visibility via social media. Paying attention to this point is useful and applicable for researchers and policymakers in order to improve the quality performance of journals.
