The purpose of this research is to determine the degree of adaptation of scientific researches of the Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization by indexes of Scopus Citation Database. Therefore, the selection process was scrutinized at the Scopus Citation Base and the journals were validated based on the criteria to identify the weaknesses of the scientific research journal of the Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization for indexation at this site.

The present research is a descriptive-applied research that has been carried out using scientometric methods. The data collection tool is an assessment log, which is based on the structural criteria expected from the Scopus International Index.

The main criteria for standardizing magazines for indexing in Scopus citation databases were based on five main criteria (journal policy, content, scientific rank, order and online access). Major forms of journals include the absence of a codified policy, the ethics of publishing, the geographical diversity among editorial staff, the arbitration process, and the type of alignment, the timing of publication, the abstract, and the list of resources and the keyword in English, the number of citations to articles. Among their strengths is the English website, free access to full text of articles, the existence of a standard international number, consistent with the goals and subject area.

To explain the approach and reasons for considering the agricultural innovation system as an instrument for agricultural development and the role of governments in its development and enhancement.Methodology of research: This paper, with an overview approach, seeks to highlight the agricultural innovation system, its affecting from agricultural policies, and the characteristics of the agricultural innovation system, with examples from the OECD and selected economies.

Governments, in light of the components of the agricultural innovation system, play an important role in maintaining knowledge infrastructures (such as biotechnology infrastructures ,Gene Bank, Agricultural Research Institutes, scientific networks and poles, and Databases) in both fields create and transfer knowledge that allows for joint efforts both with the private sector and internationally. Also, governments and international communities have recognized the importance of innovation for sustainable growth of productivity, and agreed that innovation in order to achieve sustainable growth, including through organizational change, mutual cooperation of economic sectors, more public and private investment in research and development, technology transfer and acceptance, education and counseling services should be prioritized.

The public sector continues to be the main source of financing for R & D in public or private organizations globally.

Food security along with sustainable agriculture development is one of the most important challenges of the present century. Food security, despite resource constraints, climate change and environmental problems, requires changing methods and approaches for producing agricultural products. Increasing productivity in the production of agricultural products requires the application of new methods and technologies. One of these technologies is intelligence in agriculture. Smart Agriculture is a good way to solve agricultural challenges and provide food security. Intelligent (Smart) agriculture provides the opportunity to farmers and operators to increase their productivity and manage better their production resources. Considering the importance of using intelligent technologies in the field of agriculture, this paper attempts to introduce this technology and present some of its application in agriculture. So, the beds for development of this technology are introduced. Also, in this article, the requirements for the proper development of this technology in the agricultural sector with regard to the current situation have been addressed.

Global climate change and the increasing human population have challenged the global food production system. Plant germplasm are highly valuable in terms of plant breeding, conservation and preservation of biodiversity in the food and agriculture industry.

This research is an overview and provides all the international databases and several important national databases and the access of these portals to the gene banks for ordering of diverse plant materials.

Plant Gene banks hold the biodiversity around the world, and databases are the way users connect with gene banks at the national and international levels. The main purpose of designing these databases is to facilitate communication in this system. Almost all of these online systems provide only initial identification of plant material (passport data) and do not include information in all conspectus of international standard data (multi-purpose passport descriptors). These portals provide opportunities to facilitate the connection of new systems, while enhancing and linking existing systems, and increasing the limited information available in current systems. These protocols will extend and transform data types into phenotypic (detection and evaluation) data, environmental and spatial information, and, if possible, genetic information as well as actual access to expected performance.

International portals are currently under development for passing through limited (state or national) search systems and providing integrated and structured solutions that are accessible and permanent and some of these genealogy banks provide free services to researchers to ensure that the unique variety is effectively and efficiently available for use by researchers.

The study of the thematic trends of articles published in Persian in the field of plant pests and categorizes them based on specified fields to determine their issue and evaluate them based on the priorities and requirements.

This research is a qualitative research based on content analysis and a descriptive-analytical approach has been used to describe and evaluate the content of the target community's articles. The research population consisted of all articles (2028 articles) published in seven prestigious scientific journals from 2008 to 2017. The articles were categorized and coded according to the subjects (6 subjects) and features of the authors (the first or the rest authors). Then, the obtained data were sorted and analyzed by means of software Excel, and tables and charts were prepared

From the point of view of number abundance, the articles with the laboratory subject were ranked first, the molecular subject the last (sixth) and the applied field the fifth. About 30% of the first authors were from the Research, Training and Promotion Organization of the Agriculture and 70% from universities.

The topic selection and design of the research were more based on the article preparation.

The main purpose of this article is to study and analyze the status of Iranian researchers' scientific production of plant pests from the beginning to the end of 2017.Research

This is a scientometrics research method. The statistical population of this study consists of 744 titles of scientific works produced by Iranian researchers extracted from Scopus database.

A total of 744 scientific works were produced by 159 Iranian researchers, the most of which (106) were produced in 2017.The research paper with a total of 682 titles are the type of works and the subject area of agriculture (550 works) covers the most. Tehran University with 150 works, Islamic Azad University with 67 works and Tarbiat Modarres University with 64 works were the most collaborated. Researchers in the United States (23), England (14) and Canada (13 articles) had the most collaboration. About 93% of the scientific works were co-authored and 7% were single authored. The 3 authors with 189 works and the 4 authors with 188 works constitute the most produced works.

The results show that the scientific output of Iranian researchers has a relatively growing trend. Interaction of Iranian researchers with their domestic counterparts and external researchers has been acceptable. Out of 744 works, 93% have been produced collaboratively and co-authored, and 27% of them have been collaborated with foreign production researchers.
