The present study seeks to identify and analyze the most important events and possible events affecting the thematic process of future research in the field of information science.

The present study was conducted using resource review and Delphi methods. The research community is professors of knowledge and information science at the international and Iranian levels with study backgrounds in the field of the future of this field.

The research findings showed that 78 future events will affect the thematic process of knowledge and information science research. These events come in 6 general dimensions including teaching and learning events; Scientific and research; Innovative and technological; Social and cultural; Political and legal; And economic and employment were categorized. Among the future events, from the experts' point of view, innovative and technological events will have the greatest impact on changing the course of future research topics.

Information and communication technology is a dynamic field that has rapidly expanded its influence in most scientific fields, including knowledge and information science. It is obvious that developments due to information and communication technologies will play an important role in the content of future research in this field.

This study aims to compare the researchers' views in two fields about the importance of criteria for submitting an article to the journal and the degree of thematic relevance of the proposed results of the RICeST Journal Finder.

The research is a survey in terms of applied purpose and the data collection method and was done in two steps; First, due to the lack of a standard questionnaire, while studying the literature, important and common criteria for the researchers of the two fields were extracted and a researcher-made questionnaire consisting of 13 criteria was prepared. The face and content validity of the questionnaire was done by 10 experts in information science and epistemology. Then, in order to identify the importance of the criteria as well as the thematic relevance of the system's proposed results, subject matter experts (reviewers) in two fields from all over Iran were used.

Criteria of Peer review, thematic relevance of the article with the thematic scope of the journal, and having an impact factor from the perspective of researchers in both groups, were the most important and the age of the journal was the least. Measuring the thematic relevance of the results suggested by the system using the opinions of experts showed that in more than 85% of the queries, the proposed publication for the article is completely relevant. There is no statistically significant difference between the opinions of experts in these two areas. It is necessary to explain that the evaluation of the thematic relevance of the results was done after improving the existing challenges in the RICeST journal finder.

There are many Journals in various scientific fields, so authors are facing challenges to find the most appropriate journal to publish their research findings. The results showed that the importance of the criteria of selecting the journal, from the viewpoint of national researchers, is consistent with the findings of international studies. However, considering the mental variables of researchers in different conditions, it is not possible to consider a single factor category to choose a journal to publish a manuscript; However, the possibility of refining the results, based on the priority criteria of the researchers has been introduced the use of Journal finder systems as an auxiliary tool that can be found more quickly and easily to a list of related publications. Among the other factors that can be examined objectively and are important, regardless of the author's priorities and limitations, is the thematic connection of the manuscript with the journal to which the manuscript is to be sent and published, which is the basis of the performance of the Journal finder systems. In general, according to the obtained results, the authors can use the RICeST journal finder at the national level to obtain relevant journals to publish the manuscript.

the purpose of this article was to investigate green human resource management activities, effective factors, and their consequences in government organizations.

To achieve the purpose of this article, a qualitative research project was selected and the dimensions, components, and indicators of the green human resource management model were identified using the meta-combination method and theme analysis. Then the identified dimensions, components, and indicators were validated using the fuzzy Delphi technique.

The results of the meta-combination led to the identification of the dimensions of leadership, technology, budget, and culture as prerequisites for the establishment of green human resource management. The dimensions of recruitment, training, performance appraisal, and compensation of green services were identified as the executive processes of establishing green human resource management. Finally, the dimensions of economic, social, organizational, and environmental consequences were identified as the consequences of the establishment of green human resource management.

that green human resource management activities can have positive consequences for the development of Iranian government organizations, this article was conducted to identify the prerequisites, processes, and consequences of establishing green human resource management in government organizations and led to the design of a model in this regard.

Knowledge problems in business processes refer to those problems result from the lack of proper implementation of knowledge management processes, such as creation, deployment, sharing and storage. The existence of knowledge problems during process execution will lead to a deviation in the process path. Identifying and detecting these deviations requires a precise tool that can detect the actual process from event logs. process mining is a new smart approach that examines business processes from different aspects, using data mining techniques, social network analysis, and some of its own techniques. In this study, by selecting a contact center of Water and Wastewater Organization have compared the design process and the extracted process resulting from the discovery phase of the process mining, which has led to the identification of the deviations in the process pathway and the bottlenecks in the process. For this purpose, the three months data were gathered and after the preprocessing, each of the three views of the process, organization and case was implemented on the data. The results of the research indicate that there is a lack of conformity of the process in some cases with the main process and the presence of key people in the center.

Given the growing desire of people to obtain health information through the Internet, examining the web search process will provide valuable information to health professionals and policymakers. Analyzing the search terms of Google users can show their interests and tendencies. The present study studies the global trends in stem cell therapy in the last 5 years using Google Trends. In this research, the global search trends, the geographical distribution of search, the preferred search terms of users that can express the treatment preferences of treatment applicants, and the importance of treatment cost for potential treatment applicants have been considered.

This is an applied and analytical study and data were collected and analyzed using Google Trends. Google Trends is one of the services of the Google company through which the needs and behaviors of Google users can be analyzed. The results are from July 19, 2015, to July 12, 2020.

The findings indicated that the search for "Stem cell therapy" has been an increasing trend in the period under review. Most searches were in the US, Singapore, and the Philippines. Also, the Asian countries of Bangladesh, Pakistan, India, Qatar, Malaysia, Kuwait, South Korea, and Hong Kong, the countries of Canada, New Zealand, England, and Ireland, and the African countries of Nigeria, Kenya, and South Africa are also among the 20 countries with the highest search volume index in the field of Stem cell therapy.
Iran was ranked 25th in terms of the search volume index. Stem cell therapy for knee pain, pain, autism, arthritis, Mesenchymal stem cell therapy, and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease has attracted the attention of Google users. The results also indicate the importance of treatment costs for stem cell therapy in different countries. The most relevant searches in the field of treatment costs were conducted in the United States, Australia, India, Canada, and the United Kingdom.

Google Trends is an effective tool for investigating the process of Google users searching for stem cell therapy. The data provided can be used to identify countries in which treatment is sought, treatment priorities, and treatment demand. Accordingly, appropriate policies can be adopted to attract stem cell tourists. In this regard, information specialists can use the Google Trends tool to extract user search data in various fields related to health and provide it to health experts and policymakers for future planning.

The method of the present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive-survey in terms of data collection method. The statistical population of this study includes all users and librarians of public libraries in Hamadan province. The total number of these libraries, according to the Statistical Research Office of the Provincial Public Libraries, is equal to 113 libraries (100 institutional libraries and 13 participatory and independent libraries) with 170 librarians and 67,339 active members. In this study, due to the large number of librarians, all of them were selected as a sample using the census method. The sample size among users using the Cochran's formula was equal to 382 people. Two researcher-made questionnaires with 22 items were used to collect data. In order to analyze the data, t-test of two independent samples was used in SPSS software version 22.

The results of data analysis showed that there is a significant difference between the two groups of librarians and users in terms of the use of the component

Digitization is a way to better organize and present information that will make it easier for the general public to access it. Nevertheless, intellectual property rights based on author-centered perspectives pose challenges for libraries; To the extent that today it is a necessity to say that these rights need an intellectual revolution to always ensure a balance between the rights of the owners of works and society.
Traditionally, when a library buys a book from a publisher, according to the "first sale or exhaustion" theory, the purchased copy is no longer subject to copyright control rules. Lending books in libraries is based on exactly the same legal basis. But this basis is not very effective in lending books to e-libraries. So from the point of view of some, At present, copyright law presupposes the or exhaustion of rights only to tangible objects, such as printed books, and vice versa; The status of digital works is ambiguous. The main goal of the present research is to resolve these ambiguities as much as possible by categorizing the sources.

This research is practical in terms of purpose and qualitative-descriptive in terms of the method of data collection and analysis.

Books and digital works Digital libraries are divided into three categories in terms of the status of publishing rights and especially the legal status of access to them; First, copyrighted works (sponsored); Second, Orphan Works And finally, Out-Of-Print Works. The solution that strengthens digital libraries is to assign Orphan and Out-Of-Print Works to the public domain. The transformation of these works as part of public ownership does not sever the connection of the work with its creator, and in fact, these works generally have a family and this family (society) will enjoy it and benefit from its benefits.

The existence of a comprehensive regulatory framework supporting online digital libraries and protecting and expanding public knowledge and awareness is a fundamental need and necessity. Today, digital libraries are considered the main means of access to knowledge and awareness, and removing monopolies and enriching digital libraries is very decisive in this field.
It is necessary to review the strict laws of authors' rights in favor of the production of knowledge and information and public culture, as well as the expansion of copyright laws in order to help the production of knowledge, information and culture. Many legal proposals have been submitted to resolve the issue of copyrighted works. These proposals include, Legislative amendment of copyright law, special library exemption and Courts’ intervention to uphold digital exhaustion.

To investigate the effect of organizational culture dimensions on the development of knowledge management in ACECR as a necessity in research-based organizations.

The present study is a quantitative one with an applied purpose and in terms of descriptive-correlational data collection. Its statistical population consisted of middle and basic managers of ACECR and based on Morgan table, a sample of 148 people were selected by non-random-purpose sampling method. Data collection tool was a questionnaire and its analysis was performed using multivariate structural equation modeling method using SPSS and AMOS software.

Each dimension of organizational culture in ACECR research-oriented organization has a direct and high relationship with the development of knowledge management. The effect of adaptation dimension with the development of knowledge management is more than other dimensions.

Considering that the factor load is a positive value, there is a direct, significant and positive relationship between the dimensions of organizational culture (involvement in work, adaptation, adaptability and mission) and the development of knowledge management. Therefore, by further supporting and developing the dimensions of organizational culture and creating infrastructure in ACECR, better implementation of knowledge management development can be achieved.

This research is exploratory from the perspective of purpose and has multi-method quantitative methodology due to the use of quantitative methods. The population of research is experts of the banking system. The sampling method was judgmental. The sample size was 15 people. Binominal test, Dematel and Codas were used for primary screening, secondary screening and final prioritization, respectively.

22 factors influencing the banking system's resilience were initially identified. The desired factors were screened using Binominal test. 13 factors with a significance coefficient above 5% were excluded and the remaining 9 factors were analyzed using the dematel. 5 factors were evaluated as effective. Finally, the 5 factors were prioritized using the Codas.

Future thinking, strategic partnership with fintechs and the existence of a risk analysis system have the highest priority in banking resilience. proposals were developed based on these factors.

The Aim of this study is to design a model for evaluating and improving ICT skills (software, hardware, networking and communication skills) of public library librarians.

The aim of the research was achieved by simultaneously using the meta-combination technique, content analysis, Delphi technique, structural validity and modeling. Using content analysis the extraction of 129 concepts from 15 articles was done. These concepts have been transformed into a questionnaire consisting of 35 criteria with reliability (0.978) and validity (0.90) by implementing three stages of Delphi technique and with the approval of 20 experts Delphi panel. The statistical population for implementing the questionnaire, included 327 librarians of Khuzestan province in 1399. By proportional attribution sampling method, 100 people were selected among them as the sample.

The findings also show that software skills with Factor load (0.95), hardware skills with Factor load (0.88), network skills with Factor load (0.91) and technical skills Communication with communication Factor load (0.87) in a correlated relationship, affect the improvement of information and communication technology skills of librarians.

According to the results, first the software skills are important for the librarians, thennetwork skills are mentioned more useful for them and at the end hardware and communication skills are regarded. Fit indicators also confirm that the proposed model has a very high validity.

The main purpose of this study was to identify and categorize active startups in the field of periodicals and to formulate possible scenarios for their future development.A descriptive survey method was used to identify and evaluate the status of periodicals startups. In the second part of the research (qualitative part), the developmental scenario method was used to develop scenarios. 61 startups were identified and surveyed, and in the qualitative part of the research, 8 academic and executive experts in the field of periodicals were interviewed. Developmental scenario writing method was used to analyze the data and formulate scenarios.The results of the present study showed that active startups in the field of periodicals have a lifespan of less than a decade and the weakness of investment and activity is one of their major weaknesses. On the other hand, they focus only on reporting and producing tools for managing and disseminating the periodicals. Startups face many problems to work in this field, including infrastructure, industry weakness, advocacy for change. Geographically, startups in this field are more concentrated in Tehran, and thematically, startups are more focused on public news and have not been able to cover the entire press industry.

The economy of libraries and information centers in oil-dependent countries have always been directly related to price changes for this product. Declining or rising global oil prices have had a direct impact on various processes related to libraries and information centers. Economic resources play a key role in the stability of libraries and information centers and their survival. If libraries and information centers rely solely on the country's oil revenues, their continued operation will be seriously challenged by oil price fluctuations and budgetary problems. In this article, which has been prepared as a "letter to the editor", the issue of economy of information has been considered as an important and serious alternative in providing revenues for libraries and information centers.
