Using bibliographic records from the Social Science Citation Index, Science Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Index, this paper tries to give a complete view of the characteristics of top ten Iranian authors during 1990-2007 according to their authorship pattern. Findings revealed that during 1990-2007 a total of 2650 articles were written by top ten Iranian authors. Findings showed that M. Shamsipour with 463 articles is the most productive scientist of Iran during the studied period. M. M. Heravi with 365 articles and M. Ganjali with 283 articles appeared in the table at second and third positions, respectively. Findings revealed that overwhelmingly the majority of articles (97/69%) written by Iranian top authors are the result of collaborative works and the authors are highly inclined towards collaborative rather than non-collaborative research. There was a remarkable relationship between co-authorship and number of citations. More-than-three-author articles received the most number of citations. On the other hand, it seems that international collaboration of Iranian top authors is not significant.

Using bibliographic records from the Social Science Citation Index, Science Citation Index, and Arts & Humanities Citation Index, this paper tries to give a complete view of the evolution of the field of Scientometrics based on its literature published during 1980 to 2009. This is a descriptive survey using scientometric indicators.Findings revealed that out of 691 articles in the field of Scientometrics, a total number of 183 articles (26.48%) were written during 1980 to 2009 by the top ten authors. Some of these articles were produced in authors’ collaboration and some of them were by single authors. Geographical analysis indicated that the field had evolved considerably in different regions of the world. Hungarian Academy of Science with 40 records (5.71%) was the most productive institution in the field of Scientometrics. Furthermore, chronological analysis disclosed that the scientific production in the field of Scientometrics showed a slow increase from 1980 to 2009. The overwhelming majority of documents were in English, and the international journal of Scientometrics was the most prolific journal in the field. It has also been declared that 67.87% of the literature was published in the area of Library and Information Science.

This research aims at investigating electronic journals’ acceptance among Payam-e-Noor University faculty members as well as studying theinfluential factors in that. Of all faculty members approached in this study, 169 ones returned the questioners. Findings show that E-journals’acceptance among faculty members is at average level on the basis of which it seems both printed and electronic journals have got equal positions amongsuch a group. Findings also reveal that computer and Internet problems with the coefficient determination of ß=0/31 are the strongest factors in makingE-journals not acceptable. In addition, faculty members’ computer and Internet skills with ß=0/175 and their knowledge of online full text databaseswith ß=0/12 make positive effects on E-journals acceptance, while access to E-journals’ causes weak effect (b=0/05). Results indicate that the more ageand experience, the slighter tendency to E-journals’ use. Therefore, there is no significant correlation among gender, major, educational level and Ejournals’acceptance.
