Introduction: Due to the encounter of the research community with information and the discussion of distinguishing true from false information that individuals face during a crisis, this study endeavors to determine the relationship between health literacy and e-health literacy with the acceptance of conspiracy beliefs and anxiety. The future in the face of covid-19 among graduate students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz has been conducted.Methods: The population for this correlational survey study of the research was the post-graduate students of Shahid Chamran University of Ahvaz in the academic year 2018-2019, which included 362 individuals in the research sample. The instrumentation included a 32-item questionnaire adopted from Duplaga & Grysztar (2021). The data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficient test.Results: Correlation analysis test was used to measure the relationship between the variables. It was found that health literacy and e-health literacy had an inverse relationship with acceptance of conspiracy belief and future anxiety, and increasing health literacy and e-health literacy decreased acceptance of conspiracy belief and anxiety.Conclusion: According to the findings, students with higher health literacy act more intelligently against false and fake information and future anxiety caused by it, as well as conspiracy theories related to the information. Therefore, increasing health literacy and e-health literacy of students can help to fight against the negative consequences and bad effects of health crisis and information diseases.

Introduction: As science progress is the result of collective activity, the study of quality and quantity of coauthorship in countries, institutions, and journals is important. This research examined the scientific collaboration between disciplines, institutions, countries, and authors of the Journal of Health Information Management.Methods: This study was done using coauthorship analysis with scientometrics approach. All of the authors of articles from 2004 to 2017 were extracted with their affiliations. The coauthorship analysis, and calculating centrality indicators, and the frequencies of studied items including authors and their affiliations were done.Results: Among the institutions, Medical Services Management, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (102 articles), Medical Library and Information Science, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (87 articles), and Medical Services Management, Tehran University of Medical Sciences (46 articles) had the most articles, respectively. Moreover, Medical Services Management, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences also had the highest level of collaboration with other institutions. There were international collaborations with the United States, Austria, Australia, the United Kingdom, Bosnia and Herzegovina, France, and Malaysia in this journal.Conclusion: Considering of the importance of inter-institutional and international collaborations in national and international evaluations of journal indexing databases, despite the appropriate level of internal and external scientific collaboration of this journal, it is necessary for this journal to consider the acceptance and recruitment of articles with the collaboration of authors outside the university, to improve its status regarding to these criteria.

Introduction: One problem in conducting scientometric thematic analysis is selecting which of the bibliographic fields containing the topics can be analyzed. This study aimed to compare subject fields of documents to determine the field or a combination of fields which are suitable for conducting a complete and proper thematic analysis in scientometrics.Methods: This was a descriptive research with content analysis approach. Scientific products in the field of functional gastrointestinal disorders were extracted from the Scopus database. The analysis was done on 13798 documents, which included title, author keywords, and index keywords. After clustering using the K-Means method, and calculating the inclusion index for created clusters, the similarity of keywords between the three fields was determined.Results: There was a high similarity between the index and the author keywords (87.71 and 85.71). The low amount of the index in the title field and the index keywords (0) also suggested that there was little similarity between the controlled vocabulary and the keywords used by the authors in the title, and that authors did not use the preferred vocabulary in the title.Conclusion: Using the words of the title field will show the results of the natural language analysis. However, if the purpose of a study is categorizing terms, the use of index keywords field will be the most appropriate.

Introduction: According to Differences between Medical sciences and other fields, normalization tools of their components is require in scientometric analysis, because the evaluation and comparison of them considering differences between them is not possible. The aim of the research was validation, normalization and valuation of research evaluation indicators in medical sciences than other scientific fields.Methods: The category of this practical research was scientometrics and performed with using literature review, content analysis and survey techniques. From 424 people, a sample (n=107) of the productive researchers in the years 2008 to 2011 introduced by the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology. Researchers’ CV (by researcher made checklist) were collected and analyzed. In order to compare the scientific production and citation indicators values, the weight of each one was calculated. With using a proved questionnaire, the results were validated by researchers. SPSS19 and descriptive statistics were used for analyzing of data.Discussion: In medical sciences, foreign papers (58/185) are the dominant type between other scientific productions. Foreign papers, local papers and research projects are most in this field of science than others. The validity of results in all of the studied indicators was in high level (3/51-4/5).Conclusion: Using the values and weights of this can achieve to reliable and valid amounts which can be the base of correct assessment accurate policy making.

Introduction: Library software is a computer-based program that is used in libraries and informationcenters for information storage, processing and retrieval. Interface environment is a part of librarysoftware that establishes connection between computer and user and also shifts information between userand the system. The present study aimed to determine the attitudes of librarians in Isfahan University ofMedical Sciences towards the specifications of Pars Azarakhsh library software interface in 2009.Methods: A questionnaire was used for data collection, consisting of 51 closed questions. The studypopulation included the librarians in Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. Librarians were all thosewho were working in libraries of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences (n = 50). Descriptive statisticsmethods and correlation test were used for data analysis.Results: The results of this research showed that librarians believed some factors like pageant, vocabularyand messages of software as well as learning how to use software were in medium and upper thanmedium. Moreover, librarian's attitude toward help and other capabilities was lower than medium. All thelibrarians believed that Pars Azarakhsh software user interface environment was medium (3.20). Inaddition, there was a non-significant difference between Pars Azarakhsh software user interface andcomputer literacy of librarians. There was a significant difference between letters and messages ofsoftware and library literacy of librarians and there was no significant difference between other variablesof Pars Azarakhsh software user interface and library literacy of librarians.Conclusion: Findings showed that librarians' view about Pars Azarakhsh variables was at medium level.Among these variables, some such as how to work with software, pageant, vocabulary, and messages ofsoftware were in the best situation.
