Management of Medical Information and Scientific Resources

According to the university’s website correspondent, Dr. Seyed Ali Hosseini, president of the University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences, made the remarks at the conference, which his university hosted. “Scientometrics is no longer a side activity,” he declared. “It is a vital tool for raising the quality of medical sciences universities.” Referring to the distinctive characteristics of the health sector within medical universities, Dr. Hosseini added: “Scientometric tools help us measure not only the quantity of research, but also its quality and its effect on the health of society.”He emphasized that rigorous scientometrics is more than an administrative task. It guides universities toward the most promising research directions and helps prevent the waste of scientific resources, so that their outputs directly serve people’s quality of life and the advancement of the health system. Dr. Hosseini also noted that in today’s competitive environment, scientific management and meeting evaluation standards have become serious challenges for universities. The conference, held under the theme “Smart Scientometrics: Health System Resilience and Sustainable Security,” also discussed the challenges universities face in dealing with improper scientific practices, and the need to move from superficial approaches toward genuine, original research.

The event also acknowledged the extensive efforts of faculty members and experts at medical sciences universities to raise the quality of the Ministry of Health’s scientific outputs.
