The present study aims to compare Iran's scientific productivity in different disciplines during 1991-2011 based on their publication per capita. Using a scientometric method, data were obtained from the Thompson-Reuters citation websites using the SCI. The researchers’ subject matters were classified in two different ways: (1) based on the journals’ subject categories and (2) based on the researcher’s educational or research department as reflected in his/her affiliation. The findings of this study revealed that the overall publication per capita for Iranian researchers was 51.7 in a 21-year period. The chemistry and agricultural sciences subject categories had the highest and lowest publication per capita respectively. The highest and lowest rate of publication per capita also belonged to the biophysics and the pathobiology departments respectively. Test results showed a significant difference among various subject categories and departments in terms of publication rate per capita. This difference was observed among the biology and biochemistry, chemistry, engineering, material science and several other disciplines. Such a difference was also observed between the chemistry department and some of the other departments. Results indicated that paying attention to the standard of the absolute number of scientific papers had failed to provide a comprehensive picture of the reality of research, and that paying attention to other standards such as publications per capita in which the number of researchers is taken into account in addition to the number of papers can provide a more accurate and comprehensive picture of scientific productivity.

Introduction and Correct-writing is the common principle of writing in a language. Correct-writing, especially in scientific writings is a necessity and results in text fluency and perspicacity. This study aimed to critically overview the editing problems in the articles published in the current Knowledge and Information Science Persian Journals. 89 articles published in the last published issue of 11 journals of the field were undergone content analysis and studied from editing viewpoint in three editing types (including that of technical, structural-lingual, and professional) in the summer and autumn of 2013. There are enormous deficiencies in this context and prevalence of “bad-writing custom” into the writings in each of the three editing types. Applicable education of Persian in academic studies, authors’ accuracy in writing and the deep care of reviewers and editors are needed for relatively removing these deficiencies.

tools that many people use it to access information. The World Wide Web plays an important role in various applications such as business, education, industry, recreation. Websites has a significant role in information diffusion.Websites assessment methods can use to control developed content and recognizemore accurate them. Goal: The goal of this study is to introduced webQEM and WAI. The method of this study is librarian study. Benefiting from quantitative methods to evaluate the quality of websites is important, because it reduce confounding variables and human errors and then can save time and gain accurate results in the evaluation of web sites.
