This paper aims at evaluating the scientific work of the members of faculty of the fifth
region and identifying any problems in producing scientific information. The methodology
of the research is a descriptive survey using a questionnaire. The study population includes
250 full-time members of the Faculty of the Islamic Azad University of the fifth region.
The findings show that there is a semantic relationship between educational-cultural
job experience and scientific production. The most scientific productions are in the field
of humanities in the format of articles mostly published in Iranian journals but rarely in
foreign ones. The problems of the members of the faculty in producing scientific information
are: problems related to the sending and accepting of articles by specialized journals problems connected with the acceptance and approval of research projects, lack of needed
specialization at university, restrictive managerial disciplines, lack of bibliographies at
libraries, lack of specialized journals, insufficient facilities to study and research at the
universities (e.g. appropriate place ), lack of specialized journals published in Latin (non
Persian and Arabic) script, and obstacles in research regulations and circulars. Totally, the
problems of the members of the faculty are classified into three categories:
a) Research-related problems
b) Educational problems
c) Problems related to the resources and facilities of the libraries
