Research evaluation is an important part of the research management process and is in the area of interest and needs of research institutions. These assessments are mainly based on the citation counts that have their own strengths and weaknesses. With the development of social media on the Internet, which provides an interactive environment for users and content producers, new opportunities have now emerged to evaluate research products. On the one hand, producers of research works can share their works in these media, and on the other hand, users can react to such works through activities such as liking, commenting, sharing, downloading, and marking. Attention to these activities has become the basis for the formation of a new method for evaluating research works, which is called altmetrics. In this article, while referring to the emergence of social media, the concept of altmetrics is introduced and its relationship with social media is expressed. Altmetrics tools for collecting the required data as well as the strengths and weaknesses of altmetrics are other points that have been mentioned in this article.

This research has been carried out in the field of scientometrics and its main purpose is to identify the scientific production of Iranian researchers in three thematic areas of weeds plant pests and plant diseases, until 2017 in Scopus database. Quantitative indicators have been used to conduct this research. The statistical population of the study is 5002 scientific works produced by Iranian researchers. To conduct the research, first the specifications of the scientific works related to these three subject areas were extracted and refined, and then the obtained results were analyzed. On average, the annual production of scientific works by researchers is 87.7. More than 84.3% of scientific papers have been prepared in groups and only 15.7% of articles have been written by one author. About 65% of articles are written by two or three authors. The results of the research show that the growth of articles is increasing.

One of the major challenges in camel husbandry is the lack of records and registration. The camel breeding system in the country is Extensive and dependent on rangelands and the long distances and high dispersal of herds have added to the problems of recording and the establishment of net. On the other hand, recording, especially in weights of camels, is very difficult and it is necessary to use statistical models and estimation of body weight by body measurements. Networking to communicate camel breeders with each other and education and research centers can provide camel productivity in the country. therefore, it is necessary to use ICT in camel husbandry. In camel breeder assisted system, by communicating through the SARBANYAR app, in addition to communicating and providing skill training, camel breeder knowledge in the mobile platform will be enhanced. The camel herd is also tracked online using the GPS hardware and this APP.

The main purpose of this study is the feasibility study of illustrating the scientific information of the Agricultural Research, Education and Extension Organization. Using the document study method, visual characteristics (mapping) of scientific information, effective fields (selection) in illustration of each of the scientific information systems and practical diagrams in illustration of scientific information of the organization were identified and approved in the form of a questionnaire using Delphi method. Specialists were placed. Findings show that one of the most important visual features (mapping) of scientific information approved by experts are the characteristics of user-friendliness and transmission of the most concepts with an average of 4.85, representation of information, regular organization of information and maximum efficiency of information with an average of 4.80, and better retrieval. Information and purposefulness and reasonableness with an average of 4.60. Not all information fields in the organization's systems need to be illustrated, and for each system, the scientific information in these fields is variable. However, some fields, especially titles and keywords in all systems are more important in information visualization. The most confirmed is the tree map diagram for all information fields of scientific systems. The results indicate that in the field of agriculture, information imagery can have many effects on information retrieval, and finally a proposed model for illustrating the scientific information of the organization was proposed.

citations and H-index moreover the top researchers of the two citation databases, Web of Science and Scopus since 2020 have been identified. The population of the study composed of 304 researchers from 4 countries that wereunder the auspices of the Tat Organization. First, the information collected from the scientometric system of the Tat organization subsquently research communitys related articles were retrieved from Scopus and then quarters of relevant publications were extracted from the Saimago database. Indeed the charts were made by Excel.Based on the average citations to the scientific productions of the centers, the first rank of the Scopus and Web of Science citation databases was signed to Iilam and Lorestan, respectively, According to the H-index, bita naseri (from Kermanshah) took first place in the Web of Science citation database and Bita Naseri and Seyed Hossein Sabbaghpour (from Hamedan) in the first place of Scopus citation database. Majid Tavakoli (from Lorestan) has the first place in the G-index in both citation databases. Along with quartile analysis, Mohammad Jafari (from Lorestan) had the most first quartile scientific production. Mohammad Jafari and Majid Tavakoli (from Lorestan) also had the most second quart production. Overall the publication of 54.95% of the articles in the top two quarters publications indicates the qualitative growth of these articles
