Publishing contracts include a wide range of contracts, each of which defines the relation between the varity of factors and issues involved in the publication of works. The publisher's contract with electronic content providers or intermediaries is often related to other publishing contracts. In this article, we will mention some issues and challenges of contracts regarding the electronic publication of monographs, such as books. A large part of these issues and challenges can be considered pre-publishing; such as those related to the content producing and conntent producers (authors, editors, etc.). Another challenges are related to the post-publishing, that may typically be related to publishers, content producers, and consumers; Most of the conscious and unconscious problems of these challenges may be transferred to the others parts. In this article, an attempt is made to point out those issues and challenges that should usually be foreseen in all kinds of publishing contracts, emphasizing the contract with all kinds of electronic intermediaries.

A smart greenhouse is a greenhouse that is often remotely and automatically managed with a variety of interconnected hardware and software. Infact, tools and processes are knowledge based and this is the biggest feature of smart greenhouses. Various data are collected through using a variety of tools and methods, and sent to the system or platform via the communication tools and channel. The function of these softwares or platforms is data analysis and decision making. Therefore, like all information systems, it includes hardware, software, and communication tools. Other tools in smart greenhouses are also mainly automated with various information and communication technologies, including a variety of sensors. The main duty of sensors is to collect data from the environment. Tools such as cameras, satellites and drones are also used in different environments. Sensors and cameras are also installed on a variety of vehicle, agricultural machines, etc., to collect data and information necessary for analysis, decision-making, and implementation.The point that is often overlooked is that, smart systems requires the development of its infrastructure through out the country; especially educational and research infrastructure. Reforming social and economic structures is also one of the infrastructures. The importance of paying attention to inter-departmental and intra-departmental relations during smarting is high because all scattered and distributed departments are supposed to be connected and even integrated with the help of information and communication technology. In smarting systems, not only the weaknesses and needs are highlighted, but they must become integrated and related scientific and technical solutions. In this way, both the function of each part and its components are improved, as well as the function and efficiency of the whole system

Despite the appropriateness of the country's land for olive production, the export of this product is very low, compared to neighboring countries. The main problem of Iran's olive export is its delivery system, in which the large transportation companies have turned into the main networks for olive trades. This situation has taken away the power of negotiation from the producers. Using information and communication technologies is one of the possible solutions to solve this problem. Bearing in mind the low export and the increasing inefficiency and confusion of the olive market, in this research, the factors affecting the economic efficiency of olive exporting companies are investigated by emphasizing the use of information and communication technology (ICT). Olive managers and exporters are suggested to make a fundamental change in their export management by diversifying olive export products and strategic planning to take advantage of the capabilities of these technologies.

a brief introduction of blockchain, its unique features and applications in libraries and information centers are described in this article. According to the characteristics of blockchain, this technology is used in various services such as providing information, cataloging and organizing information, lending and interlibrary loan, storage, information security and copyright. Blockchain technology in libraries can be a useful for storing, preserving and sharing information. Blockchain can secure the rocords of users and members, and enhance the privacy of users, data and information. Blockchain technology also increases collaboration between users and librarians. This article aims to introduce these applications and go into more details about how to use blockchain in various library activities.

The aim of this research is to identify the influential elements in determining the theoretical framework of science, technology and innovation indicators in the field of vaccin and biological products and explain the relationships and dependencies between these influential elements. Library and documentary method is used in this research. The results show that the essential elements of the conceptual model are: “upstream documents”, “thematic documents”, “Society needs”, “Main activities in the field of vaccines and biological products”, “Related thematic areas”, “Health missions”, “experts”, "long, medium and short-term strategic plans" and “monitoring and evaluation of activities based on these indicators”. Finally, the conceptual model for identifying specific indicators of science, technology and innovation in the field of vaccines and biological products is proposed.

In order to identify, register, certify, control and protect the country's livestock and poultry genetic reserves, a comprehensive system should be designed, which consists of the sub-sections like “preparing a comprehensive atlas”, “distribution map”, “accurate statistics and monitoring of the existing populations of the country's indigenous livestock and poultry genetic reserves”. . Therefore, this study has been conducted to introduce the population and breeds of livestock and poultry of the country aiming at designing of the "Atlas of genetic resources of livestock and poultry of the country" application program. In this application, the users can easily get to know the livestock and poultry breeds of each geographical region and observe their breed and breeding characteristics. Also, this app has a user-friendly search feature. The information can be updated from the application panel. In this application, there is a section called "Registration of new species" that can be obtained from the population and breeds of livestock and poultry all over the country with the voluntary participation of people. This information will be used in the database after filtering on the management panel.
