Purpose
Accurate scientific evaluation of researchers by ResearchGate network is still ambiguous. This systematic study seeks to shed some light on this issue.
Methods
The study was conducted with a systematic review of the previous studies (articles or reports). The analysis of documents was performed with a targeted keyword search in the reputable Google Scholar, Emerald, and PubMed databases (without limit). Titles and abstracts (if necessary, full texts) of the number of 582 documents (Persian, English, and Spanish) were retrieved (1-10 April 2021) and studied. Then, by removing duplicate or irrelevant data, 57 independent studies were selected for replying to the main research problem of this systematic review (using the PRISMA statement). For drawing diagrams, Excel software was used.
Findings
Among 57 previous independent studies that retrieved by systematic review, 30 of them, had a negative attitude towards the ResearchGate. The numbers of 27 studies have seen with positive approach from standpoint the concepts of "authentic measuring instrument", " presence of prominent scientists such as Nobel Prize recipients", "valid scientific content", and "having a significant relationship with the academic ranking criteria", and "compliance with the Hirsch indicator", that identified by documentary analysis based on PRISMA statement. Studies with a positive assessment to the ResearchGate, dealing with developing countries, and with a small investigated research community. Therefore, it is appropriate to act cautiously when evaluating researchers with the ResearchGate network.
Originality
No similar systematic review to evaluate the ResearchGate network from the standpoint of a scientific suitable evaluation tool, so far.

With the increase of problems and the complexity of organizations, the need to provide better solutions and use more powerful tools of strategic planning is evident because managers with strategic thinking and a better understanding of the strategic plan will perform more effectively. It can be said that strategic thinking is considered as a supplement to strategic planning, a suitable approach to "leadership" of the organization and can help in systematically dealing with problems, understanding opportunities, optimal allocation of scarce resources and achieving the desired results. In view of this importance, the current research aims to design a strategic thinking competence assessment model with the approach of developing organizational flexibility in National Gas Company of Iran. This research is applied in terms of purpose and was done with qualitative approach based on grand theory method. Sampling of the research was done using snowball method (chain reference). For this purpose, qualitative data was collected, which led to the identification of many aspects of the phenomenon and the possibility of developing a conceptual research model. The data collection method is library studies, perusal of high-level documents, and in-depth and open interviews.

Nowadays, many studies carried out by management science researchers have been oriented towards working groups in order to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of the organization's activities, in such a way that the topic of teamwork has always been assigned a special place in the literature of leading organizations. On the other hand, the issue that seems to have been less examined by the researchers, is understanding the phenomenon of evading teamwork. Therefore, this study has been conducted with the aim of understanding the phenomenon of evading teamwork with a phenomenological approach in the General Department of Cooperation, Labor and Social Welfare of Fars Province. The research method of the present study was conducted with qualitative analysis of hermeneutic phenomenology. In order to collect the data, an interview protocol was prepared. The statistical population included 11 elligible experts who were selected using the purposeful and non-probability sampling method, and in-depth and semi-structured interviews were given to them. Qualitative analysis of phenomenology has been used to identify the main and sub-categories of the research. MAXQDA software was used for qualitative analysis. The findings showed that 39 sub-categories were identified by examining and categorizing the descriptive codes obtained from the interview texts, according to the seven-step process of Claysey and according to their semantic similarity and affinity, it has been categorized into 7 main concepts including: inadequacy of the educational system, negative personality traits, weak communication and interactions, inappropriate organizational structure,

Technology plays an essential role in any country to achieve sustainable development. Choosing appropriate and advanced technology is one of the strategic decisions of industrial managers. This research discusses the critical factors that should be considered in the process of choosing new technologies based on the competitive mechanism, and according to that, designs and explains the technology selection model for equipping downstream petrochemical industrial units to create a competitive advantage. The research method is of applied type and in terms of data type, it is part of qualitative and quantitative research. In the quantitative phase, research data has been collected based on the data obtained from the qualitative phase, and using the questionnaire tool. The research data have been analyzed using thematic analysis and MaxQda software in the qualitative phase and they also have been analyzed using the TOPSIS technique and meta-heuristic algorithm in the quantitative phase for modeling. Thirty-four concepts and five categories were identified as technology selection criteria for equipping downstream petrochemical industrial units to create a competitive advantage. The "technical criteria" factor was identified as the foremost priority in equipping downstream petrochemical industrial units to create a competitive advantage. The ranking of the determined categories from one to five were the factors of competitive criteria, strategic criteria, internal criteria, and external criteria, respectively. Finally, using the TOPSIS fuzzy technique, the model of equipping industrial units was presented to help decision-makers and policy makers of downstream petrochemical industries.

The main purpose of this study is to design and evaluate a book recommender system in digital and public libraries. The solution provided by receiving and reviewing the preferences and experiences of users and profile information and studying the background of each user, as well as considering groups of features recorded in the recommendation process. This research is applied in terms of purpose and survey method. The statistical population studied in this study consists of 263 questionnaires of users and 30 questionnaires of librarian experts. In order to find similarity between users and books, clustering and grouping have been used. There are two criteria for grouping: users grouping that can be used on the three indicators of age, gender, educational level, and thematic classification of books can be based on scope, branch, and sub-category. In analyzing the data in the descriptive statistics section, Excel software is used and in the analytical section, SPSS software is used. Findings indicate that the accuracy criterion has been improved by calculating MAE and RSME in the proposed method compared to the basic method in this field. The results also showed that classification can have a significant impact on the forecast and performance of book forecasting systems. The evaluation of the conceptual design showed that by focusing on user characteristics and obtaining real in Iranian libraries, the recommender can serve as a key and effective element in the service of the Iranian readership community and play a good role as a virtual reference librarian.
