Psychology of theology has a great deal of scope and subcategories, and the study of the relationship between these sections as well as the dimensions and structure of each of its subclasses can help to understand the structure of this knowledge. for this reason, this study has been done to explore the Intellectual Structure of the Positive Psychology studies. The present research is applied in a practical way. It uses scientometric techniques and, in particular, the both occurrences of vocabulary method and text mining, to explore the internal structure and subject relations of positive psychological studies. The community of this research is the articles of the positive psychology field indexed at the Scopus base. The total number of articles in the period from 2000 to 2012 was 1086 articles. By extracting related terms from the title, abstract and keywords of the articles and applying the methods of text and rooting, a coincidence matrix with 43 × 43 dimensions was created. Results: The results of this study showed that among the 7 optimized clusters, the cluster 2 with 10 words and the cluster 4 with 9 words, are recognized as the main clusters. The cluster 5 has the largest number of main subjects among the selected concepts, and clusters 2 and 1 have the least distances, which indicates that the connection between the main and minor issues in these clusters is greater. In contrast to cluster 7, it has the greatest distance from most clusters, indicating at least the similarity of cluster threads with other cluster themes. Conclusion: Based on this, the most correlation was found between the internal structure of positive psychology between the concepts of adult, construct, individu, positive psychology and strength in cluster 1 with the concepts effects, chang, develop, educ, emot, model, optim, posit, role and support in cluster 2 is established. In this regard, it is anticipated that cluster 7 with its concepts will become an independent study area in the future.

Aim: The aim of this research is to study the place of Middle Eastern countries and to determine the informationally powerful, dependent, and weak states, based on the scientific production and cooperation quartile, in the geopolitics of information. Method: This research is a scientometric one and objectively applied which has been conducted using documentary methods and content analysis. The research community consists of 16 Middle Eastern countries which have been studied based on their regional and trans-regional scientific production and cooperation between the years 2008 and 2017. The data was extracted from the scopus, the world bank and the Palestine center for statistics databases, and Excel and SPSS software were used for the data analysis. Findings: According to the findings, Turkey, Saudi Arabia, Iran, and Egypt, respectively, are placed the first to fourth in the Middle Eastern geopolitics of information, and by allocating more than 75% of the quartile (Q3) indicators are among the most powerful information countries. The countries, Israel, Qatar, United Arab Emirates, Jordan, Oman, Kuwait, Iraq, and Palestine respectively, are placed fifth to twelfth in the Middle East, and with allocating 25 to 50 percent of the quartile (Q2) indicators make up the community of dependent countries. The four countries of Lebanon, Bahrain, Yemen and Syria, ranked thirteenth to sixteenths in the Middle Eastern geopolitics of information, with assigning 25 percent of the quartile (Q1) indicators form the Middle Eastern weak countries. The findings also show that there is a huge gap between the status of powerful, dependent, and weak Middle Eastern information countries (between the first, second, and third quarters) in the geopolitics of information. Innovation/ value: The value of this research is in determining the powerful, dependent and weak Middle Eastern information countries in the geopolitics of information in terms of innovation and also in being the beginning point of attracting the attention of politicians, researchers and specialists in fields of information science and knowledge, scientometrics, political science, communication science, management, and sociology to conduct better research in the field of geopolitics of information and to identify its components.

Three institutes (i.e., Islamic Research Institute for Culture and Thought (IICT), Institute for Humanities and Cultural Studies (IHCS) and the Research Institute for Humanities and Social Science (IHSS) of Academic Center for Education, Culture and Research (ACECR)) were selected for the survey. A total of 116 researchers were identified affiliated to the above research institutes who published 575 items from 2007 to 2013. Using scientometric techniques, the trends and frequency of the collaborations within each institute, between three institutes and external ties were carefully studied and visualized using Pajek software. With 307 publications, IHCS showed the best performance. In total, 169 collaborations were detected by the institutions with only one international co-authorship and no collaboration with two other humanities research institutes. The co-authorship index was calculated 1.4. It can be concluded that the Iranian research institutes for humanities are not connected well in terms of scientific collaborations.
