Being one of the best comprehensive up-to-date data banks in Iran, the Scientific Information Database (SID) has set off its journey throughout the scientific world of indexing the precious Iranian research-scientific journals as well as applying scientometric factors to extract JCR (Journal Citation Reports) reports.

Initiated its mission in August 07, 2004, SID has provided outstanding services both in Persian and English sections such as indexing the latest research-scientific journals of Iran, Journal Citation Reports (JCR), indexing the abstracts of Iranian Papers published in International journals, ACECR Projects' abstracts, Online Submission, setting of conferences and workshops.

As a part of Global Information Technology family, SID is working on more projects to keep its pace in balance with the growth of science and technology. Accordingly, more worthy services would be offered to all honored audiences in the near future.   

 

Indexing the Latest Research-Scientific Journals of Iran

Divided into two sections of Persian and English, SID supplies the most recent Iranian research- scientific journals categorized in scientific groups of Agriculture and Natural Resources, Arts and Architecture, Basic Sciences, Engineering and Technology, Humanities, Medical Sciences, Veterinary Sciences and Scientific Journals. Based on the issued research-scientific journals lists from the Ministry of Science and Ministry of Health, these journals are indexed in the time span of 2000 (1379) onwards with free access to most of their full texts.

 

Journal Citation Reports (JCR)

Based on scientometric factors, Journal Citation Reports (JCR) are extracted for all journals on SID via Impact Factor (IF) and Immediacy Index (II) from 2002 onwards in six different options. First, JCR may be reported for one distinct journal of a scientific group in a determined time period. Second, all journals of a scientific group may be compared regarding their IF and II in a special time span. Third, one may search part of a journal's name to view JCR report of that journal by choosing the desired year. Fourth, most cited papers in one year or a preferred time span are extracted in JCR section. Fifth, most cited writers compared in all scientific fields in one year or an assumed period of time are displayed in JCR division of SID website. Finally, self-citations may be traced for one year or a selected duration of time as one of the other services in JCR part.   

As the nature of science is dynamic, SID services are also in a way that more JCR factors are being studied to be applied on the invaluable scientific products.

 

Indexing the Abstracts of Iranian Papers Published in International Journals

By the everyday growth of science worldwide, Iranian scientists have accomplished to dedicate a large portion of scientific production to our country. Being published and indexed by the international websites such as ISI Web of Knowledge and ScienceDirect, the abstracts of Iranian productions which are indexed internationally in different websites are indexed in SID as well.

 

ACECR Projects' Abstracts

The research deputy of Academic center for Education Culture and Research (ACECR) prepares an opportunity for all researchers to conduct their projects in every aspect of knowledge. Afterwards, the abstracts of those projects are indexed by SID via free access policy to those abstracts. However, the full texts of these projects are possible to be accessed by defined users.

 

Online Submission

All users from any region are able to submit their manuscripts to a research-scientific journal indexed in SID. This worthy service can help the authors to decrease the cost of printing and posting manuscripts as well as creating a safe medium to submit them. One of the valuable parts of this service is "tracking" which enables the users to see every message sent by journal's office such as the status of manuscript's evaluation. Hence, Online Submission of SID provides a possibility for journal's office to receive the manuscripts and use "tracking" to send messages to the authors. This trustable service enables users, either authors or journal's offices, to conduct the process of submitting manuscripts and their evaluation more secure and rapid.

 

Setting of Conferences and Workshops

To achieve the information of scientific conferences and workshops held in Iran, SID displays the setting of Iranian scientific conferences and workshops in the front page of its website along with advertising  their requested posters in hot sections of its first page as well as other pages.

  

Ordering Books and Papers from the British Library

Having access to scientific sources is one the initial steps in doing research. So, SID is able to order the required international books and papers of researchers from the British Library of England and provide them in a short period of time. Those interested ones may order via sending their forms downloaded from http://www.sid.ir/sidlib/ and sending an email to SIDLIB@SID.ir.    

 

Online Search among the International Databases

In order to provide a better opportunity for a comprehensive research, SID offers the researchers to do the search among the international databases like Thomson Reuters, ScienceDirect (Elsevier), Springer, Emerald Library, British Library, Wiley InterScience, EBSCO, etc. Researchers may request via the prepared form which is ready to download from http://sid.ir/fa/Search_Form.asp and suggest their preferred keywords in their sent forms to info@SID.ir, after which a list of papers (and books if requested) is supplied for the researcher to order the relevant one(s) of his/her research.

 

Advertisement in SID

The Scientific Information Database (SID) intends to index business advertisements of Iranian diligences in the scientific fields by introducing research units' and R&D centers' products and artifacts so that their activities and achievements are announced widely in such a way that a mutual cooperation is attained between the producers and users of these products. A complete list of prices and supplementary information is available at http://sid.ir/En/advertising.asp. Applications could be mailed to
E-Advertising@SID.ir.
