Abstract
Distinguishing scientific knowledge from non-scientific knowledge in the field of medicine and health is very important. This study amies to present and explain the model of the accurate scientific information cycle in the applied field of health based on identifying the concepts and semantic relationships of pseudoscience and information disorders in the applied field of health and strategies to avoid the spread of pseudoscience and information disorders. This qualitative developmental study will be conducted using several methods and in two phases and four steps. The first phase includes three steps to identify concepts related to pseudoscience and information disorders in order to conceptualize and develop a conceptual model and identify related solutions, which will be carried out using the library review, field review, and grounded theory methods. The second phase is to explain the accurate scientific information cycle in the field of health, which will be implemented using the expert panel method. The model that will be explained in this study is a comprehensive model that can be applied in all societies and contexts. On the other hand, by considering the criterion of culture in it, the model will be localized for the Iranian health community.
