Abstract
Irandoc was founded in September 1968 with the aim of promoting and developing information management, training for research cooperation and supporting science and technology activities in Iran. Today, it is one of the most successful research and information centers that has been able to initiate valuable policies for the development of its information materials, databases, and human resources. Also, Irandoc has been trying to launch and provide several systems based on the latest developments to provide better services. Now, with the beginning of the second half century of its activities, it is necessary to consider certain measures and activities to guide research policies by processing and creating added value out of its resources and services. For this purpose, a list of activities are suggested in this paper such as reviewing the user interface of the systems and considering the possibilities of obtaining output for research activities, removing repeated registrations and obtaining different services with one account, collecting and organizing research projects and theses of a wide range of universities under the authority of the two Iranian ministries (the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology and the Ministry of Health and Medical Education) as well as non-governmental institutions of higher education, providing scientometric services based on the data available in Irandoc systems, setting up a huge system of questionnaires and checklists, picking up sources at the end of theses and presenting them independently as well as creating a link between the sources and the text, launching a system of suggested research topics, strengthening the resources of Irandoc through public appeals, and holding the festival of “Research in Research”.
