Iranian Research Institute for Information Science: Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IRANDOC) is a national institute affiliated to the Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology (MSRT), Iran. It is an Iranian research center with a national mission to meet the country's needs in the field of information science and technology. en
Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology (IRANDOC) was established 1968 as the governmental organization known as Iranian Documentation Centre to "bring modern information to scientists and professors. In March 1969 IRANDOC became part of the Ministry of Science and Higher Education's new Institute for Research and Planning in Science and Education, along with Center for Scientific Policy, Center for Educational Planning and the Center for Library Services. In 1970 it had a staff of 60 personnel, with 30 being college graduates, and seven had doctorates.[1] When the Institute was disestablished in 1983, IRANDOC continued under the supervision of the Deputy Minister Office for Research. en
The Council for Development of Higher Education approved a revised charter in 1991, changing its status to a research center and its name changed to its present form.
It has five main missions: research, scientific and technical information management, education, scientific cooperation, and supporting science and technology policy-making. Having 50 years’ experience, IranDoc now exploits more than 100 experts, nine research groups in three departments, and three research laboratories. It has developed one of the biggest Persian scientific and technical databases in Iran with more than one million records. This database and many other websites in IranDoc have thousands of users daily. en
Research Departments:
Based on these unique competencies, Irandoc provides the community with a bunch of knowledge-based services in three categories:
Currently, IranDoc has 25 faculty members.
Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology was founded in September 23, 1968, known as «مرکز اسناد ایران» in Farsi and "Iranian Documentation Center" in English. This short name has been used for the past half of the decade and until now, it has been changed five times. However, still this name more than any other name is familiar to, and used by, university students and professors as well as researchers, in Iran and worldwide. Over tens of thousands scholarly works has been indexed in SCOPUS since 1971and Google search engine retrieves 100,000 pages with this keyword. The short name known as "organization brand", is part of intangible assets of every organization which distinguishes it from other organizations. When seen or heard by people, it reminds them of a certain concept, which is tight to the unique features of the organization. Although, initially "Doc" was an abbreviation for "Documentation", based on Dehkhoda Dictionary, "داک" in Farsi has a more general meaning. It means "base" and "support", more precisely it refers to "a steak or a piece of wood on which wall or doors are settled". Since the "Science and Technology Information management" in Iran, and "information support of science and technology" are part of the major missions of IranDoc, it is decided to use the short name "ایرانداک" in Farsi and "IranDoc" in English for Iranian Research Institute for Information Science and Technology as it both reflects the mission of this Institute and is a meaningful words both in Farsi and English. en

Robodoc: human and machine interaction RoboDoc lab was launched 2015 to push ahead the joint and interdisciplinary research projects in Information Management related fields. RoboDoc vision is to become a symbol of IranDoc's latest research products on information management and processing, information and knowledge analysis, scientometrics, natural language processing and audio and image processing.
Science and Technology Policy Design The Science and Technology Policy Design Lab, with an interdisciplinary approach, seeks to analyze, simulate, and improve policies using a systematic perspective. The main goal of this lab is to gain a more in-depth insight into how policies work analyzing the complex cause-and-effect relationships between them. By providing research services and consulting to science and technology policymakers, the lab avoids wasting resources and minimizes unintended losses by testing them in a virtual environment (simulation).
Social Media and Data Governance The laboratory of "Social Media and Data Governance" was established with the goal of facilitating the systematic application of social media data analysis in the policy-making process. This laboratory analyzes social media data using social science theories that can serve as a foundation for data-driven analysis and pave the way for their optimal application in policy-making. Providing such services as developing data-driven policy documents in various areas demanded by policy-makers, data-driven evaluation of policy implementation, counseling services for the application of social media data in the policy-making process, and so on, the laboratory attempts to develop evidence-based policy by applying user-generated data in social media as evidence.
Decision Support System (Closed on June 9, 2020) The decision support systems lab was establish to conduct applied and developmental research on the applications of IT. It mainly relays on the knowledge in the areas of information systems, data mining, information analysis, artificial intelligence, and software engineering.
Text Mining and Machine Learning (Closed on May 17, 2021) The text mining and learning machine lab's major work focuses on the artificial intelligence methods used for machining the conceptualization and interpretation process of various types of data, in particular text type of data. To achieve this goal, researchers in this lab build computational theories from data and employ algorithms and current data structures, commonly used in computer science, especially in the field of machine learning. en
