This study aims to identify the status of the input, processing and output of information flow in the research centers affiliated to the Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education and recognize the influencing factors and technical obstacles which make significant decrease in information flow.
The research is an applied research and survey method was used. The population consisted of research assistants, managers of affiliated research centers, heads of academic library administrators and faculty members in 62 research centers affiliated to the Ministry of Health, Treatment, and Medical Education. The data collection tool was a questionnaire. After confirming its validity and reliability, 306 questionnaires were distributed between researchers. Finally, 222 (72/55%) of the questionnaires were returned.
Findings: The overall status of information flow in the research centers, in the "collection and use" stage was appropriate and in the "production and storage", and the "dissemination" stages were inappropriate. In the "collection and use" stage, electronic forms were used more than printed formats and in the "production and storage" and the "dissemination" stages, printed forms were used more than electronic forms.
The results of the study may be helpful to the managers of research centers in planning to improve the national and international information flow, use of information, skilled manpower and funds to support research.

This study aims to identify the flow of information in the research Institutes of Islamic Azad University from the perspective of researchers, conducted using a researcher- made questionnaire. The methodology of research was survey method. The population of the study consisted of 7 research institutes affiliated to Islamic Azad University includes research assistants, heads of scientific groups, library administrators and faculty members as members of study population. 25 questionnaires had been sent and 24 questionnaires (96 percent) had been returned. The results showed that in the input stage (collecting and using information), electronic forms more than printed formats and in the processing stage (production and storage of information), printed forms more than electronic formats and in the output stage (dissemination of information), printed forms more than electronic formats are used. Further. The researchers use electronic resources more than print sources, but this situation is reversed in the production and dissemination stage and the printed format are used more than electronic formats. analysis using ANOVA showed that the difference between use of different types of formats in three stages: input, processing and output, in the most items, were not significant and little difference has been. The overall status of the information flow is acceptable in input stage and poor in the processing step.

This study aimed to investigate the inputs and outputs of Iranian research Institutes. Data were collected using a researcher-made questionnaire distributed among the Managers, Deputies, Researchers and Librarians of institutes affiliated to the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology (MSRT), Ministry of Health and Medical Education, and Azad University. Findings indicated that in the "input" stage, electronic materials were used more than Printed Materials but in Both "Process" and "output" stages non-electronic materials were major information formats in use. ANOVA test results also revealed significant difference between three types of information in research institutes. Overall analysis reported in the main article indicates that the input phase of information flow in research institutes works better than the process and output phases.
