Reflective thinking is the process of using the mind to search for meaning, to understand phenomena, to make decisions, and to solve problems. One of the most important ways to optimize Information-seeking behavior is to use higher-order thinking, especially reflective thinking. The study aimed to predict information-seeking behavior of medical sciences students based on their reflective thinking in English for specific purposes (ESP) courses. The present study is an applied research that adopted a survey method. The participants were 377 students of medical sciences of Kermanshah Medical University and Islamic Azad University Kermanshah branch. Two questionnaires namely, one researcher-made to assess information-seeking behavior and one to measure reflective thinking perceptions of ESP students were employed. The results revealed that the overall mean of information seeking behavior was lower than the expected value (3) indicating that the ESP students were not at an acceptable level of information-seeking behavior. In addition, the mean of reflective thinking was also lower than the expected value (3), showing that the participants’ level of reflection was not satisfactory. In addition, the result of regression analysis results showed that there is a significant relationship between the two variables of reflective thinking and information-seeking behavior. Based on the findings, paying attention to medical sciences students’ reflective thinking is an important issue. When learning ESP comes into play such an importance will be doubled. On the other hand, students would get benefit from information-seeking behavior if they use high levels of reflective thinking.

PurposeUsers' mental image of public libraries reflects their living experience in these places. The accurate understanding of the mental image can help to make accurate and effective policies. This study sought to re-investigate the public library mental image from the perspective of Iranian users.Design/methodology/approachThis research is qualitative research. Semi-structured interview method was used to collect data. In this study to analyze collected data the grounded theory has been considered as the main method. In total, 106 interviews with public library users were conducted in 11 provinces. The collected data were coded in 3 steps. The MAX QDA software was used to encode data. Sampling continued until saturation of the concepts, and finally, after receiving the 106th interview the sampling was completed.FindingsFrom the analysis of the interviews, 131 open codes, 49 primary categories, 20 categories, 10 axial codes were obtained. Results gained in this research shed light on users believe that the library is a place to acquire knowledge as well as a place to spend their leisure time. Also findings revealed the libraries space have not enough harmony. It seems that the negative alignment of user-librarian causes the user reluctance to go to the library. Originality/valueAlthough significant quantitative research has been done on user studies of public libraries, but the qualitative approach has been neglected. In addition, the emphasis on understanding the user's mental image distinguished this research from other research.

Introduction: Knowledge management, as one of the achievements of the age of knowledge and information, has strengthened its position by entering the realm of various sciences. Successful organizations today, by acquiring the necessary tools with a knowledge management approach, create good opportunities for optimizing their human and organizational resources. Universities and libraries are the main centers of knowledge production and storage, so the purpose of this study is to review the concept of knowledge management in how it is implemented in organizations (academic and library environments).Methods: This study was conducted by reviewing the sources and internal and external articles with the main subject of knowledge management in educational and library places. Also, search was used on the Internet, as well as scientific sites and databases. The range of articles selected was from 1995 to 2017.Results: The results of studies conducted by researchers in different aspects of knowledge management show a positive and significant effect on the usage of knowledge management components with important variables in universities and libraries. In these researches, the results are more favorable and some are reported to be weak, but in general, all of them consensus in the important role of using the knowledge management process.Conclusion: Universities, and especially university libraries as the main centers and knowledge production and storage organizations, should pay more attention to the knowledge management process and provide the necessary infrastructures to implement it in this regard.

The purpose of this paper was to investigate the effect of targeted organizational forgetfulness on the capacity to attract knowledge with the mediating role of human capital in Ministry of Sport and Youth. The research method was causal and applied in terms of purpose. The statistical population was 450 people of which 213 were considered as statistical samples. The sampling method was stratified random. Data collection tools were the Questionnaire for attracting the capacity of knowledge of Minbaeva et al. (2003), the questionnaire of targeted organizational Forgotten Moshabaki et al. (2012), and the human capital questionnaire of Pike et al. (2002). The sampling method was a simple random one. The validity of the questionnaires was again confirmed by experts and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the questionnaires was higher than 0.7. The results showed that targeted organizational forgetfulness has a significant effect on human capital and knowledge absorption capacity, and human capital has a significant effect on knowledge absorption capacity. In general, targeted organizational forgetfulness has a significant effect on the capacity to absorb knowledge through the mediating role of human capital. Knowledge acquisition is influenced by the release of unprofitable organizational knowledge and the creation of change and development by increasing the individual abilities and skills of employees. In fact, in order to attract new knowledge and apply new knowledge in the field of sports or sports organizations, it is necessary to make changes in the organization, which can be done with the help of staff empowerment.

Self-organization in the sense of the ability of biological, natural and social systems to change their structure by themselves during the process of their interaction with the environment is one of the most important cybernetic and conceptual principles at the core of systems science. Although self-organizing is rooted in biology and physics, but also social systems, the Internet and virtual social networks because of the characteristics of self-organized systems (such as complexity, dynamism, imbalance, spontaneity, interaction, recreation, self-preservation, synergy, positive feedback and Negative and...) Can be considered self-organizing. Society can be described as a self-creating and self-organizing system that is able to reproduce and organize itself through structural actions and interactions and social actors and based on human creative activities. The Internet is also a technological-social system (consisting of a technological subsystem or networks consisting of computer networks and social subsystems or networks consisting of social communication networks) and a network of networks in which the human factor plays a key role in web self-organization.The present study was conducted in a conceptual review manner with the aim of explaining the principle of self-organization in social systems, especially the Internet and virtual social networks.

The main purpose of university libraries as service and non-profit organizations is to connect the university community with knowledge and information through the provision of efficient services. measuring the quality of services and the performance of libraries also has its own difficulties and inequalitie. with the advent of technology-based electronic and digital services and the need to learn related skills, the quality of services and the performance of university libraries has changed. the aim is to identify the factors affecting the quality of services and performance of university libraries. Using the meta-syntesis method, 311 research indexed in internal scientific databases, were retrived and reviewed between 1384 and 1401, on the quality of services and performance of university libraries. After refining the retrived records, 59 works were selected. The result of applying the meta-syntesis is the extraction of five important and effective criteria on quality, finally to summarize and report in the form of tables and a systematic model.The results of this study consider the aspects of human resources, information resources and services, facilities, executive management and financial resources to be effective in improving the quality of services and the effectiveness of the performance of university libraries. Studies also show that little research has been done on the impact of components and managerial capabilities on the quality and effectiveness of performance, as well as the impact of financial resources and funding in improving the performance and success of academic libraries in achieving their goals and missions

The purpose of this research is to present the experience of Semnan University students in virtual education. The covid-19 pandemic caused the widespread use of virtual space capacities and technological tools in education, but the unpreparedness of students and information technology users has brought challenges for them. This qualitative research seeks to know the experience of Semnan University students in the psychology faculty who had positive or negative experiences in encountering the new information space. A semi-structured interview was used to collect data. The gathered data were analyzed via the qualitative data analysis methods by using the Grounded Theory method and by using Max QDA. More than 72 interviews were conducted until data saturation (after 52 interviews). The findings showed that despite various challenges and disadvantages such as the weakness of the Internet, and hardware and software problems, the students of Semnan University Psychology Faculty have welcomed this type of education due to the advantages of virtual education. Although there were different views about the future of virtual education among the students present in the present study, the interesting point in the findings of this study was that despite the desire for face-to-face education by individuals, the desire for integrated education was also widespread among the interviewers. The interviewers preferred virtual training with special conditions to face-to-face training. Conditions in which the problems and challenges associated with the use of virtual education are minimized. The current research is original in terms of the research community and research methodology.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine whether PlumX Altmetric scores can predict the Scopus citation counts for the field of Particle Physics. Also, to examine the relationship between the number of citations received by particle physics highly cited documents in Scopus and their Altmetric scores in PlumX. The sample consists of 103 highly cited documents in Particle Physics indexed during 2000-2019 in Scopus. In order to examine the relationship between Scopus citation counts and PlumX Altmetric scores, Spearman’s correlation test and multiple regression analysis used. The result of the Spearman’s correlation analysis shows a strong relationship between the number of PlumX citations and Scopus citations. Furthermore, PlumX Captures and PlumX Mentions have a significant relationship with Scopus citation counts, but there is no relationship between PlumX Usage and PlumX Social Media. The results of regression analysis show that PlumX Citations, Captures, Usage, Mentions, and Social Media, respectively predict 62, 60, 55, and 47 percent of Scopus citation counts. Based on these results, one can conclude that PlumX Altmetric scores can predict the number of Scopus citations, and an increase in activity in PlumX lays the ground for receiving more citations by documents in Scopus.

The export performance of companies is influenced by various internal and external factors, some of the internal factors, such as knowledge of target markets and presence in international production networks, are among the companies' intellectual capital. The purpose of this research is to investigate the impact of intellectual capital and its components on export and sales of the company. This research is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in terms of data collection. To estimate the intellectual capital, we used the Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAIC) method, and to measure exports, we used the ratio of export to total sales, and we also used multivariate regression analysis to investigate the impact of two variables. The data is for a 5-year period (2015 to 2019) from all the manufacturing companies present in the Tehran Stock Exchange (195 companies) were selected. The results of the hypothesis test indicate a positive relationship between intellectual capital and export as well as sale. Of course, contrary to the initial expectation, there was no evidence of the effectiveness of human and structural capital on the export and total. Also, physical capital, as one of the components of Value Added Intellectual Coefficient calculation, has a positive impact on the export and sales. These results can be indicative of the fact that among the major listed companies of the country, knowledge-oriented components of intellectual capital such as human capital and structural capital have not found their real place in influencing international performance in comparison with physical capital.

The present study aimed to identify the challenges of the purposefulness of academic research towards role-playing in solving the problems and issues in Iran. The researchers used a qualitative approach by content analysis to achieve this aim. The participants in the study included 16 connoisseurs from universities and research institutes who were selected based on the purposeful sampling method of the type of criterion. The tool for data collection was a semi-structured interview and the method of data analysis was an inductive content analysis. To check the credibility of the findings of the study, three methods; member check, triangulation, and peer check were used. The findings showed that the challenges of the purposefulness of academic research towards role-playing in solving the problems and issues in Iran can be divided into four main categories and eight sub-categories included; institutional challenges (the weakness of the promotion regulations of faculty members in not assigning special points to applied and problem-oriented research, the lack of a monitoring system and appropriate accreditation), organizational challenges (inappropriate distribution of the ratio of faculty members to students, lack of allocation of operational and problem-oriented budgets in universities, lack of attention to mission orientation in attracting faculty members and students), environmental challenges (incomplete cycle of science, technology, and innovation, low demand from institutions and organizations to conduct applied research) and individual challenges (inability and low willingness of faculty members to solve society's problems).

The present study aimed to investigate the effect of knowledge sharing on the metacognition of English as a foreign language (EFL) teachers with the mediation of creativity in the era of Covid-19. The research method was applied in terms of purpose and descriptive survey in terms of method. The statistical population of the research includes English language teaching faculty members who were teaching in state and non-state universities of Iran. Out of a total of 450 questionnaires sent to the teachers' emails, 300 were returned, of which 288 questionnaires were found usable. Therefore, the sample size was considered equal to 288 based on the available sampling method. Data collection was done using three questionnaires, include, knowledge sharing, creativity, and metacognition. The results of Cronbach's test showed a desirable level of reliability for the knowledge-sharing questionnaire (0.793), the creativity questionnaire (0.921), and the metacognition questionnaire (0.752). In order to analyze the data, descriptive statistics, multiple regression, and path analysis were used with SPSS 23 and Amos 21 software. The findings of the research showed that the variables of participation in writing, organizational communication, personal relationships, and group activity were able to explain the changes related to creativity. Among these variables, only participation in writing could explain the changes related to metacognition. In addition, the creativity variable was able to explain changes related to metacognition. In general, the results indicated that teachers who have higher degrees of knowledge-sharing are more creative in teaching and this may help to develop metacognition.

In terms of its nature and purpose, it was of an applied type and was done with a survey-analytical method. The studied population consisted of 562 faculty members of Allameh Tabataba'i University, and the research sample consisted of 226 people who were selected by stratified random method. The tool used for data collection was a semi-structured questionnaire. The validity of the questionnaire was confirmed by three subject experts, and the reliability of the questionnaire was estimated to be 0.90 by calculating the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS software. The findings of the research showed that the information-seeking behavior of faculty members is at an "average level" and is far from the desired level. As a result, it seems that the design of the databases, the suggested keywords and key phrases of databases, and the capabilities and facilities of the database search system for users for the purpose of conceptual searches should be designed more user-oriented to solve the information needs and improve the information-seeking behavior of faculty members. to help In addition, the faculty members' use of subject thesauruses in order to use specialized terms in order to retrieve information sources that match their information needs can also be a way forward.

the strategy of the current research is a survey that seeks to explain the relationships and the impact of the variables, the statistical population of the research includes members of the board. It is the Faculty of Sciences of the University of Tehran, whose number is estimated to be 151. Using the Sample Power software, the sample size was estimated to be 130 people. The analysis of the data obtained using the structural equation method through the software Amos software is done. The results of the current research indicated that organizational exclusion had an effect on Knowledge hiding and 46% of the variance of the Knowledge hiding variable was explained by the Organizational Ostracism variable. Instrumental thinking has had an effect on Knowledge hiding, and 18% of the variance of the Knowledge hiding variable is explained by the instrumental thinking variable, and in the relationship between instrumental thinking and Organizational Ostracism, Self-Sacrificial Leadership has a partial mediating role Knowledge hiding. According to the findings of the research, it can be concluded that the problem of Knowledge hiding among university professors is affected by two factors: Organizational Ostracism and instrumental thinking, and not paying attention to the growth of these two components can endanger the cycle of improvement and sharing of knowledge in the long term, therefore attention to the component Self-Sacrificial Leadership and helping to improve it can play an important role in instrumental thinking and Organizational Ostracism.

Purpose: The purpose of the present study is to investigate the mediating role of innovation in the relationship between organizational wisdom and knowledge management in public libraries in Qom province. Method: The present applied research was conducted with a descriptive and correlational method. In the current research, the data was collected through three standard questionnaires (Lawson's knowledge management questionnaire, Albrecht's organizational wisdom and Jazni's job innovation). The statistical population included 112 librarians of public libraries in Qom province, 86 of whom were selected as samples by simple random sampling. The reliability of the research tool was determined using Cronbach's alpha test. Findings/Results: The results showed that the score of the study participants in the three variables of knowledge management, organizational wisdom and innovation is significantly different and higher than the average. The results indicate that organizational wisdom and innovation were significant predictors of knowledge management separately. The results showed that there is a significant positive correlation between organizational wisdom and innovation. The results indicated that organizational wisdom is a significant predictor of knowledge management and innovation, while innovation did not play a mediating role in the relationship between organizational wisdom and knowledge management.

The purpose of the current research was to investigate the impact of the intergenerational culture of the organization on innovation with the mediating role of knowledge sharing among employees of Shiraz University. The research method is descriptive correlation type. The statistical population of the research included all the employees of Shiraz University in the number of 700 people, of which 248 people were selected using simple random sampling method. The tools of this research included the intergenerational culture questionnaire of King and Brandt (2017), knowledge sharing by van den Hoof and de Ryder (2004), and Holman et al.'s (2012) innovative behavior. The content validity of the questionnaires was approved by the experts and the reliability of the questionnaires was estimated by Cronbach's alpha method as 0.91, 0.81 and 0.84 respectively. Data analysis was done at two descriptive and inferential levels including Pearson correlation coefficient and structural equation model. The results of the research showed that the existence of an intergenerational constructive culture has a positive and significant effect on the growth of knowledge sharing behavior. In addition, knowledge sharing behavior also has a positive and significant effect on the growth of employees' innovation. Also, intergenerational culture in university has a positive but insignificant effect on employee innovation. Therefore, the intergenerational culture in the university can influence the innovation of the employees due to the knowledge sharing behavior.

The aim of the present research is to determine and rank the factors affecting the implementation of an electronic city plan using the Analytic Hierarchy Process. The research method is descriptive in nature and, given its purpose, is applied, quantitative, and survey-based. The statistical population in this research includes 21 experts. Due to the limited statistical population, the sample size is considered the same as the statistical population (21 individuals). Purposeful sampling was used in this research through both library research and questionnaires to collect data. In order to assess the validity of the research questionnaires, experts were consulted. The questionnaires were distributed to several experts and management professors, and their feedback was taken into consideration. The validity of the questionnaires was ultimately confirmed. In order to determine the reliability of the questionnaires (pairwise comparisons), the inconsistency rate was calculated for each pairwise comparison matrix. The overall inconsistency rate was 0.06, which is acceptable with a scale of 0 to 1, indicating that the matrices are reliable. Data analysis was conducted using Choice Expert software and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP). According to the expert opinions, organizational factors are the most important (weight 29.0) and political factors are the least important (weight 19.0).
