Abstract
INTRUDUCTION: The purpose of this research was to evaluate the research productivity
of faculty members working in the knowledge and information science departments of
Tehran state universities. This evaluation was based on a set of multiple indicators.
METHODOLOGY: This research has been carried out by using survey and documentary
methods and its population included the scientific works of all faculty members
working in the knowledge and information science departments of Tehran state
universities, who were employed in full-time at the universities in 2014. A checklist was
used to collect data. After analyzing the obtained data and by using Excel software, the
final research productivity rank of each university was determined based on the average
ranks obtained in multiple indicators. In calculating the research productivity of each
department, the research performance of each department per the number of its faculty
members being active in that department was considered.
FINDINGS: Findings indicated that Tarbiat Modarres, Shahed, Shahid Beheshti and
Tehran universities have better ranks in most book-based indicators. Meanwhile,
Shahed and Tarbiat Modarres universities in the national and international awards,
Kharazmi, Shahed, Tarbiat Modarres and Tehran universities in the h-index and
publishing international articles, and Tarbiat Modares, Shahed, Tehran, Azzahra and
Kharazmi universities in publishing national articles obtained the top ranks.
Furthermore, Kharazmi, Iran University of Medical Sciences, Tarbiat Modarres and
Shahed universities in International cooperation, and Shahed, Tarbiat Modarres,
Kharazmi and Tehran universities in publishing articles in international conferences and
Shahed and Tarbiat Modarres universities in conducting research projects have obtained
better ranks.
CONCLUSIONS: The results showed that the rank of each of the knowledge and
information science departments of Tehran universities is different in each of the
various studied indicators. Nevertheless, the research productivity rank of these
departments was calculated by the average of the total ranking of a set of multiple
indicators and the universities Shahed (3.06), and Tarbiat Modarres (3.59), Kharazmi
(4.94), Tehran (5.12), Iran University of Medical Sciences (5.59), Shahid Beheshti
(5.94), Azzahra (6.24), Allameh (6.35), Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences
(6.88) and Tehran University of Medical Sciences (7.82) are ranked in top, respectively.
Since the research performance of the departments is directly related to the total number
of their faculty members, the less populated departments are better ranked in terms of
their research productivity.

چکیده
مقدمه: هدف این پژوهش ارزیابی بهرهوری پژوهشی اعضای هیئت علمی گروههای علم اطلاعات و دانششناسی دانشگاههای تهران، بر اساس مجموعهای از شاخصهای چندگانه است.
روششناسی: این پژوهش با استفاده از روشهای پیمایشی و اسنادی به انجام رسیده و جامعۀ ان مشتمل بر اثار تمامی اعضای هیئت علمی گروههای علم اطلاعات و دانششناسی دانشگاههای دولتی تهران است که در سال 1393 بهصورت تماموقت به خدمت اشتغال داشتند. برای گرداوری اطلاعات از سیاهۀ وارسی استفاده شد و پس از تجزیه و تحلیل دادههای بهدستامده با استفاده از نرمافزار اکسل، رتبۀ نهایی بهرهوری پژوهشی هر دانشگاه، بر اساس میانگین رتبههای بهدست امده در شاخصهای چندگانه مشخص شد. در محاسبۀ رتبۀ بهرهوری پژوهشی هر گروه اموزشی، عملکرد پژوهشی هر گروه اموزشی بر اساس شاخصهای چندگانه برونداد نسبت به تعداد عضو هیئت علمی فعال در ان گروه اموزشی (منابع انسانی درونداد) لحاظ شد.
یافتهها: دانشگاههای تربیت مدرس، شاهد، شهید بهشتی و تهران در بیشتر شاخصهای کتابمحور، از رتبههای بهتری برخوردار بودند. به لحاظ تعداد اعضای هیئت علمی برگزیده در جشنوارههای ملی و بینالمللی، دانشگاههای شاهد و تربیت مدرس، در زمینۀ شاخص هرش و انتشار مقالههای خارجی، دانشگاههای خوارزمی، شاهد، تربیت مدرس و
