Purpose: The purpose of this study is to determine the extent of scientific cooperation in Iran from the viewpoint of university-industry and government communication in the ISI Web of Science Information Center. Methodology: The research method is evaluative and applied. In this research, a triple-spiral model was used to measure the relationship between university, industry and government in the scientific production process of the country, and interactions between the triangular spiral organs were identified using Th.exe software. The statistical population consisted of all Iranian articles indexed in the World Wide Web of Science from 1983 to 2017; collecting information by census and reviewing all 348.047 Iranian articles indexed in the Web Science Database. Data analysis was performed using descriptive statistics and Excel 2010 software, drawing tables and graphs. Findings: The findings showed that T (UIG) in the total scientific output of Iran was 3.12 The highest scientific output of Iran in all sciences related to scientific products with organizational affiliation was exclusively university (93.88%), the lowest scientific output Also, industry-government cooperation was close to zero percent (8 papers) and the degree of cooperation between the university and industry was 0.81 percent. Conclusion: The results of this study showed a low level of interactions between the three universities-industry-government institutions. Also, in Iran's scientific production, the role of the two institutions of industry and organization is very small and the main role of science production is in universities.

Purpose: The aim of this research was to investigate the role of the components of information literacy in acceptance of e-learning in students of Ferdows College of Engineering and Technology. Methodology: This was a descriptive-correlational piece of research in terms of method, conducted as a field study, a quantitative piece of research in terms of quality, and a practical investigation in terms of aim. The research population was selected from among the students of Ferdows College of Engineering and Technology, including 392 students when the research was conducted. A sample of 199 participants was selected using stratified random sampling. A test of correlation, the T test, and the method of regression analysis were used simultaneously for analysis of the data in SPSS 24. Findings: The research findings demonstrated that 11.8 percent of e-learning acceptance was explained through the subcomponents of information literacy. None of the above components, however, exhibited a unique significant contribution to e-learning acceptance. Moreover, no significant difference between the two genders was obtained with respect to the relationship between information literacy and e-learning acceptance in the students. Conclusion: For increasing students’ acceptance of e-learning, all the components of information literacy should be enforced in students, with some of them holding greater priority of course. Therefore, it is suggested that training workshops be included in their curricula for enhancement of their levels of information literacy.

The sample of this study, 23 Librarian and 334 students (of 9000 students) are members of the libraries that have been randomly selected. Findings: According to the analysis, we observe that the mean grade of the minimum level of desired service quality is 5.98, the mean grade of the maximum level of desired service quality is 7.44 and the service quality level offered to students is 6.72. Investigating the results of the gap between the three modes (minimum level, maximum level, and the offered level) showed that in case of every 9 indices (as well as the total service quality) the exam is meaningful for both of comparing the gap of services sufficiency and the gap of services positive and supremacy. Also, the five domains of emotional intelligence, were at a desirable level. Conclusion: The librarians have emotional intelligence and its components is a desirable level. The quality of services Libraries indicates the relative satisfaction of users of services.

Purpose: Infodemiology tend to use internet and web 2.0 services to collect and analyze health-related data on web automatically. The basic assumption is that these data likely represent a high compatibility with health information need of different categories of people. The constant monitoring of information provides a health information-seeking behavior model for policymakers. The current study aimed to investigate the origin of the term “infodemiology” as well as its application in big data area. Also the study focused on the weakness of the traditional health information systems. Finally, this research studied the state of the social networks and internet search as an infodemiological tool. Methodgy: This research conducted by review study as well as the comprehensive and systematic review related to infodemiology. Findings: The results showed that policymakers receive critical and useful data about public health as late as possible by the use of traditional methods. So infodemiology design new methods using computers, internet, web-based services, and information technology to improve public healthcare. It could be applied for problem solving in medicine, medical education, and research-based services in electronic media. Conclusion: Infodemiological methods and measurements could save the common costs of public health infoveillance by constant monitoring of data in digital environment.

Purpose: The aim of this research is to find (recognize) the effect of keywords documentation by using Persian medical thesaurus in citing articles from IranMedex and Medlib databases. Methodology: In terms of its aim, this research is practical; and is done semi-experimental methods. To assess the relevance of search results, using of both ordinary language and documented keywords with Persian medical thesaurus is observed and recorded in table, by Guilan University of Medical Science and also researcher. Findings: Based on the obtained results, the significance level of the test for both Iranmedex and Medlib databases isrespectively 492% and 367%, according to standardized and ordinary languages. Based on this, there is no significant difference between rate of cited articles with ordinary language and standardized keywords in IranMedex and Medlib databases. Conclusion: Documentation of keywords in the Iranmedex database has no significant effect on the precision of cited information. Also, documentation of keywords in the Medlib database has no significant effect on the precision of cited information. Documentation of keywords in the Iranmedex database has negative effect on the Recall of cited information. Documentation of keywords in both Iranmedex and Mddlib database has no effect on the rate of cited articles.
