Abstract

Aim: The aim of this study is to present a systematic study of content analysis research in knowledge and information science in Iran.
Methodology: This study is an applied research which was done by content analysis method.
Findings: The findings showed that during the study by researchers, a total of 44 content analysis studies were published, of which 9 titles were published in the form of dissertations, 31 titles in the form of articles, 4 titles in the form of books or part of a published book, 16 titles of articles (12 titles of magazine articles and 4 titles of conference papers), 10 titles of dissertations, 12 titles of books and 6 titles of all field texts have been analyzed. 21 titles (47.7%) have been published as multiple authors and 23 titles (52.3 titles) have been published as single authors. In terms of time, 2 titles were published in the 1360s, 11 titles in the 1990s, 15 titles in the 2000s and 16 titles in the 2010s.
Conclusion: Content analysis research, while identifying research gaps, guides researchers through those gaps. Despite the widespread use of this method in various fields, it has not received much attention in the field of knowledge and information science, and it should be given more attention to such research.
