Introduction: This study aims at Identification and analysis of encouraging and inhibiting factors of scientific collaboration among Faculty members of ShahidChamran University and Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences of Ahvaz at local, national and international levels.Methods: Data collection instrument was a questionnaire made by researcher. The study sample consistsed of 292 Faculty members in two universities of shahidChamran University and Jundishapur University of Medical Sciences of Ahvaz.. Its reliability was determined through Cronbach's alpha coefficient α = 0/94.Results: Conducting factor analysis on the data revealed13 main factors were extracted by conducting a factor analysis. 6 of those factors were about encouraging and 7 of them were inhibiting factors. 6 ofencouragingfactors is encouraging factor political and scientific-research, encouragingfactors individuals, encouragingfactors creating skill, encouragingfactors communication, encouragingfactors cultural,encouragingfactors motivation. and The most important inhibiting factors in research is important inhibiting political and scientific-research factor, inhibiting cultural factor, inhibiting individual factor, inhibiting relating to international issues, inhibiting communicative factor, inhibiting individual factor, inhibiting motivating factor. The highest mean (74/09) belongs to political and scientific-research encouraging factor and the lowest mean (7/19) belongs to inhibiting motivational factor. Therefore, results indicate that political, scientific-research factor is the most important encouraging factor and inhibiting motivational factor is the least important factor in scientific cooperation among Faculty members.Conclusion: This study introduces the most important inhibiting and encouraging scientific collaboration, offers ways to improve and expand scientific collaborations among researchers and removing inhibiting.

Introduction: One of the most important quantitative methods and research method in library and information sciences is scientometrics which has markedly developed over the last four decades. The purpose of this study was to map the structure of surgery discipline in Science Citation Index (SCI), during the period 2000 to 2010. Methods: This paper is descriptive - analytical and using scientometric techniques. The number of records is 83426. This study is based on bibliographic data retrieved from the Web of Science (gathering tools). The data contain all types of documents published in surgery between 2000 and 2010. The records are processed by HistCite, Pajek and VOSviewer in order to generate chronological and other tables as well as historiographs which highlight the most-cited works in and outside the collection. Results: USA had the greatest publishing, i.e. 24,533 (29.41%) documents; also, The status of research in Iran has been compared with other world and Middle East countries that Iran, with 0.34% rating is the 33rd in the world and the 3rd in the Middle East. Regarding their subject area, most of the articles, i.e. 34.85% documents, dealt with “surgery”. As for their source of publication, 14.68% articles had been published in the CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM CARDIOLOGY. Conclusion: it is noteworthy that, In order to improve Surgery scientific publications of Iranian universities and research centers, appropriate policies should be developed while being continuously monitored by Iranian Ministry Science and Health and universities research policy makers. Also, surgery Scientists of our country should have paid more attention to the field of laparoscopy. Keywords: Scientometrics; Surgery; Databases

Introduction: The Framework Convention Tobacco control (FCTC) is designed by World Health Organization (WHO), in response to the globalization of the tobacco epidemic, in 2003. All treaty signatories including Iran adopted to perform it during 3 years. This study was performed to design a model for evaluation of the implementation of this treaty in Iran.Methods: This study was a qualitative study which was held in 2008. We have interviewed with 265 policy makers, stakeholders and community members. After extracting first and second level codes and changing them to the third level codes, main concepts obtained.Results: Totally 72 third level codes collected. The main concepts classified in 12 total groups as well. Then by considering these groups the evaluation model was designed.Conclusion: Regarding the obtained concepts and model, in Iran, treaty evaluation should perform in various levels and considering all the objectives.Keywords: Evaluation; Models; Theoretical; Smoking.
