Investigating the Contemporary Views on Information Retrieval and Elucidation of the New View: Semiotics
Dr Khadije Morady, Dr Amir Ghaebi, Dr Massomeh Karbalaei,
Volume 6, Issue 2 (8-2019)
Abstract
Background and Aim: The aim of the study is to investigate the prevailing views in the field of information retrieval in information science (system-oriented, user-oriented and domain-oriented) and to enlighten the new view of "semiotics."  The research seeks to answer the following questions: What are the main components of the views in information science? What are the characteristics of the semiotic view  and what is its added value compared to other perspectives?
Methods: Researches  that have used the concepts, models and theories of semiotics in various fields of information science were searched in the databases of Emerald, Scopus, Google Scholar. The retrieved articles were reviewed with the selection of 23 Articles.  The title, abstract and results of the articles as well as the full text of 5 articles associated to the purpose of the research were analyzed via content analysis method.
Results: Findings showed that most of the research in the field was published between 2000 and 2018 by mostly researchers in Denmark. Some articles have explained and defined the concept of information based on the concepts and theories of semiotics and had presented a new view on information science based on the classification, called the semiotic view.
Conclusion: The results showed that system-oriented, user-oriented and domain-oriented views emphasized the document and each of them emphasized an aspect. The semiotic point of view, information is intended as sign and can combine the characteristics of the three views and define the information regardless of the media that carries it and remove the boundaries of the document.
Prioritization and Investigation of the Direction of Influence and Suscep-tibility of Components of "Information Literacy Skills" Based on Tech-niques of "Multi-criteria Decision-making" and "Paired Comparisons"
Dr Batul Keykha, Dr Amir Ghaebi,
Volume 9, Issue 1 (5-2022)
Abstract
Purpose: The study aims to weight, determine the priority, and investigate the direction of influencing and susceptibility of the components of "information literacy skills" by considering the importance of the information context of the community in training these skills in order to eliminate their gaps and promote the "information literacy skills" of the community.
Methodology: This is an applied quantitative study, using "multi-criteria decision-making" methods based on techniques of "Paired Comparisons" through Dalala Dematel - by applying MATLAB software.
Findings: The results of Dematel matrix investigated the influence and susceptibility of "information literacy skills" and measured their weights. Moreover, results showed the priority of training of components to improve and eradicate the gaps of the "information literacy skills" respectively as follows: "Information access skills," "information assessment skills," "information use skills," "information dissemination skills," "Skills of understanding and recognizing the information need," and "information combination skills."
Conclusion: Using "paired comparisons" techniques as a new approach in the field of "information literacy studies" could be beneficial in deciding to train "information literacy skills" in different information contexts. Weighting and studying the influence and susceptibility of components of "information literacy skills" on each other showed that the components that are ranked in the first priorities include more relative weights and in comparison, with next components are more important in terms of the need for education and promotion.  Informing decision-makers on the influence measure of components on each other has a significant and a prominent role in deciding and adopting appropriate trends in training "information literacy skills" based on the importance and priority of skills, and can provide guidance to policymakers, instructors, and researchers in this field.
 

Research Data Evaluation and Selection Criteria for Preservation in Data Repositories
Kimiya Taghizadeh Milani, Massomeh Karbala Aghaei Kamran, Amir Ghaebi,
Volume 11, Issue 4 (1-2025)
Abstract
Purpose: The main purpose of the current research is to identify the components of evaluation and selection of research data for the use of data repositories operators based on international texts.
Method: This research was conducted using the meta-synthesis method and the Sandelowski and Barroso (2007) framework. Relevant keywords were utilized to search for studies in databases of various publishers and through citation tracking to ensure comprehensive coverage of identified sources. After multi-stage screening and applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 48 English-language sources were selected from an initial pool of 3,080 sources. Additionally, the Kappa coefficient was employed to ensure the quality of extracted codes and maintain the reliability of the designed model.
Findings: The criteria for evaluating and selecting research data for preservation in data repositories were categorized into eight components, including Data preparation, data quality, physical conditions and technical features, metadata management and characteristics, ethical principles of data, document-related criteria, alignment with FAIR principles, and repository policies and issues, encompassing a total of 52 indicators.
Conclusion: This study identified criteria for evaluating and selecting research data for preservation in data repositories based on global authoritative literature. Applying these criteria can lead to sustainable preservation of data in repositories, enhance data quality, and strengthen research infrastructure.
