Introduction: The purpose of this study was determine the application of knowledge management among the staff members of central, faculty, and hospital libraries at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences (Tabriz, Iran), based on Hissig model. Hissig model consists of four processes including knowledge creation, storage, sharing, and application. Methods: This descriptive survey included all of the listed members of university libraries (59 persons) in 2010. Using Cochran's formula to determine the sample size, 40 individuals were selected to participate. Sampling was conducted through stratified random sampling proportional to size. A 5-point Likert scale researcher-made questionnaire was used to gather the needed information. The face validity of the questionnaire was approved by experienced teachers. In order to determine the reliability, Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated (α = 0.949). Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation, and inferential statistics, including single- sample t-test, multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA), and Scheffe's post hoc test, were used to analyze the collected data. Results: Our findings showed that the application of knowledge management based on Hissig model among the library staff members at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences had an average of 2.90 and was higher than moderate. While the studied population scored higher than moderate in knowledge creation (3.06), sharing (2.87), and application (3.12), their scores of knowledge storage (2.56) were lower than average. Conclusion: According to the findings of this research, the application of knowledge management based on Hissig model among the library staff members at Tabriz University of Medical Sciences was rated higher than moderate. However, between the investigated components, knowledge storage was rated lower than average which highlights the importance of knowledge storage among library staff members. Utilization of knowledge storage systems is thus essential. Keywords: Knowledge Management; Libraries; Hissig Model.

• Introduction: Commitment to abstracting standards has a very significant role in information retrieval. The present research aimed to evaluate the rate of commitment to ISO 214 standards among the Persian abstracts of approved research projects at School of Health Management and Medical Informatics, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences, Isfahan, Iran. • Methods: This descriptive study used a researcher-made checklist to collect data which was then analyzed through content analysis. The studied population consisted of 227 approved research projects in the School of Health Management and Medical Informatics, Isfahan University of Medical Sciences during 2001-10. The validity of the checklist was measured by face and content validity. Data was collected through direct observations. Statistical analyses including descriptive statistics (frequency distribution and percent) and inferential statistics (chi-square test) were performed in SPSS16. • Results: The highest and lowest commitment rates to ISO 214 standard were in using third person pronouns (100%) and using active verbs (34.4%), respectively. In addition, the highest commitment rates to ISO 214 standard (100%) related to mentioning third person pronouns, starting the abstract with a sentence to explain the subject of the research, abstract placement, and including keyword in 2009. On the other hand, during 2001-3, the lowest commitment rate was observed in reporting research findings (16.7%). Moreover, various educational groups differed significantly only in commitment to study goals, providing research findings, and abstaining from using abbreviations, signs, and acronyms. Furthermore, the educational level of the corresponding author was significantly related with extracting the keywords from the text. Other factors of ISO 214 standard did not have significant relations with the educational level of the corresponding author. • Conclusion: In general, a desirable rate of commitment to ISO 214 standard was observed among the Persian abstracts of approved research projects at the School of Health Management and Medical Informatics of Isfahan University of Medical Sciences. However, commitment rates differed between years. In addition, commitment to ISO 214 standard was not significantly related with educational group and degree. • Keywords: Abstracts; Research Design; Universities; ISO 214

Methods: This applied descriptive study reviewed all theses registered in the central library of Arak University of Medical Sciences and finally, selected 328 theses as the statistical population. In order to prepare the required standards and also to determine the consistency of the theses with abstracting standards, the original text of International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in abstracting and its translated Persian text were studied. A checklist designed based on ISO abstracting standards was used for data collection. The validity and reliability of the checklist were confirmed by the experts. Data analysis was performed in SPSS software. The results were shown as frequency, percentage and chi-square indices. Results: The highest rate of adherence to including bibliographic information was seen in 2005 (48 abstracts (16.4%)). However, the findings and secondary results were not mentioned in any abstracts. The findings of chi-square test showed that except “purpose”, there was a significant difference in the adherence to the standards in different years. Conclusion: Adherence to form-related abstracting standards (ISO 214) e.g. research results, preserving the main information of the theses, etc. was acceptable. However, content abstracting standards including purpose, findings, etc. were not adequetly deployed. Keywords: Abstracts; Academic Dissertations; Universities; ISO 214.

Introduction: In order to cope with the crisis of serials cost and problems associated with the shortage of budget in libraries and facilitating the access to scientific journals, the principle of Open Access to scientific publications and usually in the form of electronic journals has evolved during the last 15 years. This research aimed to clarifying the amount of citations of ISI Web of Science’s articles to DOAJ’s journals in the two fields of Health & Medical Sciences and Basic Sciences during 2003–2008 and investigating the significance of difference in the citations received by DOAJ’s journals between the above-mentioned two fields. Methods: In this study bibliometrics method and citation analysis technique was used and 1337 English-language journals from DOAJ and without sampling were investigated. Data collected by Cited Reference Search in ISI Web of Science and analyzed by SPSS16 software. Results: The findings indicated that Basic Sciences, with 657 journals, received 10116 citations (62.91%). In this field Biology & Life Sciences received the most citations (6009 citations, equal to 59.4%) and Mathematics & Statistics received the least citations (91 citations, equal to 0.9%). On the other hand, Health & Medical Sciences, with 680 journals, received 5965 citations. In this field Medicine (General) received the most citations (3236 citations, equal to 54.25%) and Dentistry received the least citations (1 citation, equal to 0.01%). The findings of Chi-Square test showed no significant difference in the number of journals between the two fields of Health and Medical Sciences and Basic Sciences, but there was significant difference in the number of citations between them. Conclusion: Although the number of cited journals in comparison with non-cited journals in the two fields of Health & Medical Sciences and Basic Sciences in DOAJ were relatively low, but given the increasing rate of open access journals in the database, and also considering the need to identify highly cited and valid journals in areas such as Health Sciences and Medicine and Basic Science, which is the urgent need of researchers for reliable and updated information, doing such researches has great effect in this field and will help them to access free reliable journals.
