Volume 8, Issue 4 (11-2014)
Abstract

 Background and Aim: Personal Information Management (PIM) is a novel approach comprising three interactive parts of information resources, dimensions, and tools. The main aim of this study was to determine the degree of Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS) management and information science students’ familiarity with PIM process.

 Materials and Methods: The present work is a qualitative-applied study and the population includes 145 TUMS management and medical information students in 2012. The subjects were randomly selected and the data were finally obtained from 73 persons through semi-structured interviews. The data collection tool was a questionnaire with 10 open-ended questions classified based on the conceptual framework  of interviews. The questions were about how to acquire, organize, maintain, and retrieve information. To analyse the interviews, the qualititative data analysis software Nvivo 8 was employed.  

 Results: According to the obtained results, 51% (37 persons) of interviewed persons have applied methods and tools in order to organize and maintain information and have had exclusive methods to retrieve information. The most frequent worries were the information storage 49% (35 persons) and acquiring information 29% (21 persons).

 Conclusion: It is noteworthy to say that the PIM approach is not very popular among university students, and many of them acquire, maintain, and organize their personal information inappropriately in spite of their need for the method. Therefore, educating the students and promoting their performance can result in the improvement of main PIM-related problems.

Volume 15, Issue 4 (oct & Nov 2021)
Abstract
Background and Aim: Transgenic species are the ones whose genomes are genetically modified. The transgenic field is one of the areas that has a high importance and position in the world. Therefore, the aim of the present research is to draw and analyze the co-authorship network of researchers in transgenic subject area.
Materials and Methods: The type of this research is descriptive and was carried out using scientometric techniques such as co-authorship network and social network analysis indices. In this study, 23,456 articles by transgenic researchers indexed in the Web of Science database during the period 2010-2019 were retrieved. VOSviewer and UCINET software were used to draw the co-authorship map and analyze the network indicators.
Results: The scientific cooperation network of transgenic researchers was studied and analyzed using macro and micro indicators of the social network. The status of macro indicators was not appropriate and the network was poorly cohesive. So that, the network density was 0.027, the clustering coefficient was 0.834, the diameter was 15 and the average distance was 4.155. In terms of micro-indicators, the status of researchers in the network was determined in such a way that David Ayares had the most cooperation with other members and also Nam-Hai Chua played the most important role in communicating with people from different clusters of the network, finally, Yan Zhang had the shortest distance with other members of the network.
Conclusion: Based on the findings, it can be concluded that the co-authorship network of transgenic researchers has low cohesion and information is transmitted among members at a low speed. With respect to this, status of different researchers in this study was determined, the results of this study can be used to guide future collaborations, and encourage universities and scientific institutes to develop their interactions with each other and further strengthen collaborations. It should also be noted that according to the findings of the study in this field, Iranian researchers were not identified as key individuals in this network, which requires research on the status and position of Iranian researchers in the field of transgenics.
 

A Bibliometric Study of Global Trends in Social Medicine Publications on the Web of Science from 2002 to 2021
Davoud Haseli, Somayeh Paknahad,
Volume 17, Issue 2 (5-2023)
Abstract
Background and Aim: Bibliometric analysis by describing the state of publications and identifying key entities and emerging topics plays an important role in evaluating research. The aim of the paper is to study the global trends of scientific collaboration networks of researchers, organizations and countries and the co-occurrence of words in the field of social medicine in the database of Web of Science.
Materials and Methods: The method of investigation is bibliometric. The sample comprises 8494 publications in the area of social medicine between 2002 and 2021 in the Web of science database. The drawing of the scientific collaboration network of researchers, organisations and countries, and the analysis of the words network of co-occurrence, was made using the bibliometric software Vosviewer.
Results: The publication process of social medicine documents in the target period is increasing. Research articles had the highest number of documents frequency and review articles received the most citations. The United States had the most published literature in this area, and most authors and organizations were from that country. The degrees of two countries, Canada and Australia, had the most citations per documents, and the five countries of South Africa, Portugal, Pakistan, India, and Iran were emerging players in this field. The network of words co-occurrence of social medicine in three groups was devoted to “preventive research in social medicine”, “social determinants of health” and “healthy lifestyle, nutrition and physical activity”. In terms of temporal occurrence, the five keywords public health, mental health, social medicine, meta-analysis and epidemiology were emerging subjects in the area of social medicine.
Conclusion: Understanding impact of non-clinical studies of social medicine on people’s lives has led to an increase in research in this field. In addition to the traditional role of developed countries, some developing countries are also new players in this field and seeking to develop their infrastructure in social medicine.

Identifying the Health Information Needs of the Elderly in Public Libraries: A Systematic Review
Faezeh Sadat Bahrololoumi Tabatabai, Nosrat Riahinia, Davoud Haseli, Fatemeh Pazouki,
Volume 19, Issue 2 (7-2025)
Abstract
Background and Aim: With the increasing elderly population and their specific needs, access to health information in public libraries has become increasingly important. Public libraries can play a crucial role in providing reliable health information and enhancing health literacy among the elderly. This study aimed to identify the health information needs of the elderly in public libraries based on global experiences.
Materials and Methods: This study was conducted as a systematic review using the Kitchenham and Charters framework. Relevant articles were retrieved from three major citation databases—PubMed, Scopus, and Web of Science—covering the period from 2010 to 2024. Relevant keywords were used for searches, and reference lists and citations of the retrieved documents were examined to ensure comprehensive coverage. Inclusion criteria consisted of research articles related to the health information needs of the elderly in public libraries. Ultimately, 40 English-language articles were selected and analyzed. The extracted data were coded and categorized qualitatively.
Results: The findings indicated that the health information needs of the elderly in public libraries could be classified into four main categories: (1) Information Needs, including access to diverse health information resources, primary health information, public health and prevention information, and self-care and personal empowerment resources; (2) Educational Needs, encompassing information literacy, health information literacy, and educational events; (3) Social and Cultural Needs, including cultural and recreational activities, social and communication needs, social participation, and reducing social exclusion; and (4) Library Services and Facilities, comprising appropriate physical spaces, assistive reading technologies, and mobile and remote library services.
Conclusion: With the growing elderly population, public libraries face a critical responsibility in promoting the health and well-being of this demographic. The findings of this study reveal that the health information needs of the elderly extend beyond mere access to resources; they encompass educational, social-cultural, and library service dimensions. Therefore, it is essential to move beyond traditional information dissemination approaches and adopt a comprehensive, multilayered, and participatory framework—one that positions libraries as active institutions in enhancing public health among the elderly.
