Iranian government suffered growing economic and political problems during Ahmad Shah's reign. To overcome financial difficulties, some statesmen and parliamentarians suggested to put to mortgage or sell the collction of Crown Jewels. With the restoration of the constitutional rule after Mohamad Ali Shah was forced to resign, the collection was transferred from royal court to the ownership of the state. As the public was highly sensitive about the jewels, the case was discussed repeatedly in the parliament. Meanwhile, the opponents of Ahmad Shah and the Qajars, spread a rumor that the Shah wants to sell the jewels.  They used this as a pretext for disrediting Qajars and ending their rule. The attempt to sell or to mortgage the Crown Jewels was not successful, however, due to disagreements between the government and the parliament, as well as the pressure of public opinion which stressed on national and cultural value of the Crown Jewels.

To analyze the process of issuing printing and publishing licenses and to study its formal and content structure from the beginning of Nasser al-Din Shah to the end of the Qajar rule.

The data are extracted from library and archival sources and mainly from the archives of the National Documents Organization, and considering the nature of this type of documentary research, the research method will be descriptive and analytical.

Publishing licenses are of special importance as the initial stage of publishing a magazine and a book. Books and especially newspapers in this period went through a special administrative process for publication. Examining the relevant licenses along with the laws and administrative procedures affecting the licensing process is one of the main and important issues in this article. It should be noted that these documents, in most cases, followed a specific structure, but in some from publishing licenses due to non-completion of documents by the applicant, it is possible to see differences and distinctions in the structure and content of licenses.

To report the role of Shadloo tribe chiefs and clans residing in Aladagh region in the military and political developments in Afsharid era.

archival documents and library materials are the resources data for analysis was collected from.

Aladagh was the center of the Shadloo tribe and dozens of clans who were moved by the Safavids Kurdistan to the north of Khorasan during the Safavids (1501- 1736). Apparently, their chiefs enjoyed a serious influence in the Afsharid government. The tribe and the clans were powerful rulers throughout Khorasan territory. They became close allies of Nader Shah and his successors after some years of enmity. In addition to the protection of borders, they participated in battles against Ottomans, Afghans and Turkmens.

To identify patterns of self-archiving by academics with emphasis on the impact of their familiarity with publishers' policies. .

 A random sample of 160 faculty members in basic sciences, humanities and engineering from University of Shiraz (Total population: 505). Two researcher-made questionaires in 5-point Likert spectrum with Cronbach's alpha coefficients. 89 to 91 were used to collectd data. 9 statements with two aspects examined “familiarity to publishers’ open access policy”; 36 statements with 9 aspects tested self-archiving behavior. Descriptive and inferential statiscs Univariate Regression, T-test, Analysis of Variance, Kolmogorov Smirnov and SPSS ver 22 were used for analysis.

Familiarity with publishers open access policies was relatively low. Self-archiving behavior patterns were not desirable. Significant correlation was found between researchers' familiarity with publishers open access policies and their self-archiving behavioral pattern with 38.5% variance. There was significant relationship between academic rank, field and gender with research variables. Self-archiving facilitates open access by eliminating digital gap and visibility of works, as well as increasing scientific communications. Lack of familiarity with the open access policies and undesirable self-archiving behavior may cause challenges. The issue merits the attention of policy makers.

Despite the emphasis of experts and general recognition of the importance of performance measurement systems and application of key performance indicators in organizations, no standard has been developed or scientific study found national archives.Here wepropose a structural model for this purpose.

In the first phase, which lasted about a year, strategic records, performance management system records and performance measurement indicators of twelve national archives were collected. In the second phase, using the thematic analysis method (context-based) in Nvivo10 software, the structural model of performance measurement indicators of these national archives was designed and developed.

236 significant performance measurement indicators were coded at different levels of structure and content. These codes were classified into 33 sub and 6 main themes (identification and appraisal, description and organization, records-archives interaction, preservation, staff index and archival authority).By reviewing the relative frequency of the main themes, it was found that the records-archives interaction theme with 42% had the highest and the main theme of description and organization with 3% had the lowest importance among the performance indicators in the national archives of the world.Due to the lack of a scientific sample or a specific standard for the performance measurement system, there is no aggregated and citable pattern and benchmark for practical action. So, this is the first step to cover the theoretical-practical gap by extracting performance measurement indicators of twelve national archives to understand the relative importance of designing a performance measurement system.

Reports growing areas of growing and/or planting flax, hemp, kenaf and cotton that supplied fibers for papermaking in the middle Ages.

  Data was collected from library resources, and archival documents.

Flax, hemp, kenaf and cotton were planted since the ancient times in Iran to support industries such as textile and flax trade. Cotton in Fars, flax in southwest of lands and in the mountainous Kohkilouyeh region, Darband, Hemp in Lorestan, Kazeroun and Shiraz, Kenaf plant in Golestan (Gorgan), Mazandaran, and Gilan were cultivated. Therefore, paper makers not only had access to raw fiber plants, but could also use them in raw form, processed strings, or worn plant clothes to make paper.
