Given the significance of universities, their rankings, research outputs, and the impact of leading researchers in the field, the research aims to address the following questions: 1. What factors do top researchers adhere to in order to achieve success in their endeavors? 2. What factors will the university follow, based on the experiences of top researchers, to ensure success in their research activities? 3. How can students be effective in their research activities based on the experiences of top researchers?

The current research is of an applied nature and utilizes the qualitative content analysis method. The research community included all the working and retired faculty members of Isfahan University. A total of 40 individuals (5 women and 35 men) were selected using purposeful and snowball sampling. Based on data from the SciVal database, the top 10 researchers at the university were identified in terms of the number of international outputs (ranging from 243 to 87) and citations (ranging from 3690 to 1037). These researchers come from various fields. Additionally, using the Research Specialists database, other top researchers at the university were identified through interviews conducted using the snowball method. These researchers were selected based on their quality research, social impact, effective scientific communication, fundraising abilities, collaboration with other institutions and organizations, engagement with the industry, mentorship of selected students, and effective management and entrepreneurship in the field of research. The interview was terminated when the data reached saturation and repetition, and no new points were extracted from the content of the subsequent interviews. A semi-structured face-to-face interview was conducted to gather the opinions of the participants in the research. The findings were analyzed in three stages: open coding (extraction of sub-components), central coding (formation of components), and selective coding (selection of concepts) using MAXQDA 2020 qualitative data analysis software.

The items mentioned by the participants in the interviews as factors influencing success in research activities can be categorized into three concepts based on their frequency and importance: factors related to faculty members (265 codes), university-related factors (244 codes), and factors related to students (12 codes). Each concept includes various components. The factors related to faculty members include students, individual characteristics and motivation, scientific communication, research orientation and purpose, research area, industry and society relationships, skills, research outputs, adherence to professional ethics, and thesis. The components related to the university factor include communication with industry and society, research policies, promotion regulations and policies, policies and programs, students, facilities and infrastructure, skill development, support and respect for faculty members, internationalization, financial issues, management, recruitment, research groups, administrative issues, and mission orientation. Skills and determination are also considered essential components of a student.

In order to promote research activities at both the individual and organizational levels, it is necessary to address them from various dimensions and provide comprehensive conditions. On the other hand, the university is considered a fundamental institution for this purpose, due to the expertise and knowledge of its faculty members and students. On the other hand, the activities of faculty members and students depend on the university platform. Despite the influence of the context and environmental conditions of each university in the planning process, the individual and organizational factors mentioned can be generalized to other individuals and universities facing similar conditions. These factors can also be adjusted to fit the specific context of each university. On the other hand, there are upstream factors that are policy-based and implemented at the macro level, which can be utilized and adapted to various academic institutions.

This study was conducted with the aim of "identifying and analyzing the research activities of faculty members in the field of political science of public universities in Tehran within the framework of the regulations for promoting the rank of faculty members. 

The current research is a type of analytical evaluative research, which was carried out using the library study method. The population of this research includes all the members of the political science faculty of the government universities located in Tehran, whose number was 174 at the time of the research. To select the sample, the stratified sampling method is used according to the volume. Among the statistical population, 119 people were estimated as a statistical sample using Cochran's sampling formula. The data collection of this research is related to the time efficiency of 2015 from the time of the implementation of the latest scientific promotion regulations until the end of 2019. The data has been analyzed using SPSS version 26 and Excel software. 

The results of research activities based on the promotion regulations showed that the number of research articles in the study period with a maximum of 43 articles, with the number of 43 articles indexed in the ISC database, 8 articles indexed in Scopus 2 articles are indexed in Web of Sciences and 2 articles are indexed in JCR. During the study period, a maximum of 7 articles were analyzed, with 7 of them being related to promotional articles and 2 related to promotional articles. The study period yielded a total of 19 complete articles from valid scientific conferences. Out of these, 12 articles were related to domestic conferences, while 17 articles were related to international conferences. Carrying out research projects in the study period with a maximum of 4 research projects, of which the number of projects inside and outside the institution is 3 and 4, respectively. The publication of books in the studied period is with a maximum of 37 book volumes, of which the authorship and composition of the book is the most with the number of 12, followed by the translation of the book with a numerical number of 8 and the title of book correction with a numerical value.contract Guidance for theses and doctoral dissertations with a maximum of 41 items, which are 32 and 15 respectively for the master's thesis and doctoral dissertation. The maximum presentation of theorizing chairs of the course under study is with a numerical value of 2, which is scientific-promotional chairs of criticism and scientific innovation in the scientific field, theorizing in the scientific field with a numerical value of 2 and presenting the results of the chairs in conferences with a numerical value of 0. Also, the ratio of books to articles in the study period is one fifth. The frequency of article publication, based on the academic rank of professors, associate professors, and assistant professors in the course under review, is 43, 33, and 17, respectively. In the field of specialization, almost the most areas of lack of expertise and international relations among faculty members in the field of political science are related to these two fields. The meaning of the field lacks research expertise, lack of order, intellectual coherence and a research procedure and focus, and a special and central specialized field with a numerical value of 24, which means that (20.16%) faculty members are in no specialized research field. They do not have them and also the field of international relations with a numerical value of 24 (20.16%) followed by political thought in Islam and Iran with a numerical value of 6 (5.04%) has the highest specialization field.

The promotion system of faculty members plays a crucial role in organizing their performance and is considered the most objective manifestation of scientific board. The literature suggests that improving the scientific order requires attention to both the quantity and quality of joint efforts. The study's results indicate that the promotion system includes multiple elements, but the imbalance in evaluating activities and the excessive weight given to research papers without any limit undermines its effectiveness.

Rresearch centers carry tavariety of research activities to formulate policies based on knowledge، science and technology. However، we haven’t yet seen an enormous growth in the research unit of the Research Centers of Ministry of Science، Research and Technology. The present study identifies and prioritizes the barriers to research activities the researchers at the Research Centers encounter. At first، the barriers and the factors concerned with them are selected based on the literature review (Individual، organizational، environmental and technical barriers). Then، the conceptual model is developed and assessed by using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Finally، we testthe hypotheses by applying one sample T-test and also rankthe identified barriers by using the Friedman Test. Based on the result، all 4 barriers have influence on the conduct of research activities. The barriers based on their importance are، respectively، environmental، individual، organizational and technical. Furthermore، the result indicates that lack of research culture has the greatest impact on the conduct of research.

This paper aims to investigate the visibility, the Web Impact Factor (WIF), the relative WIF (RWIF) and the collaboration rate of the websites of nuclear research institutes of IAEA member countries via webometrics.Design/Methodology/Approach: The study included 103 websites of research institutes representing 42 IAEA member countries. The data was collected in two phases: Firstly, using the AltaVista directory, all of the investigated research institute websites were retrieved and stored on a PC; and then the various links of the websites were extracted and analyzed. The website of the French National Centre for Scientific Research had the highest visibility and the website of the Institute of Nuclear Physics, National Nuclear Center of the Republic of Kazakhstan had the least visibility. Websites of the LAN and Fermilab centers in USA had, respectively, the highest and lowest WIF and RWIF. 16 websites were selected as core websitesResearch limitations: The variability of search engine results and the unavailability of the websites of some research institutes were limitations to the study. the visibility of the studied websites was low; this may be due to factors such as language, the amount of information presented in relation to the needs of special users, up-to-date-ness of the information, accessibility, and the possibility to interact with researchers. A high percentage of the studied websites had low WIFs and RWIFs and this may be a result of the quality and quantity of the information they presented.
