Abstract: (1358 Views) |
The Iran 2040 Stanford Project is a document and program designed and compiled by Stanford University in the United States with the collective cooperation of Iranian students and faculty members residing abroad, with the aim of examining the quantitative situation of Iran and envisioning the country's future in the macro-demographic, economic, energy, water and Agriculture and human capital until 2040. One of the articles extracted from this document is the article "Scientific Output of Iran: Quantity, Quality and Corruption". In this research, with a critical, descriptive and analytical approach, the claims of the authors of the mentioned article regarding the lack of quality of the country's scientific progress, the non-scientific education of students, the unsupported production of articles with the aim of creating resumes for governments, and the failure of the country's scientific research to enter the field of technology and wealth generation are studied and investigated statisticly. Research findings indicate that the acceptance of such documents can create dangerous consequences, such as the official acceptance of Western cultural influence and the rejection of upper-level documents of the system, the injection of self-deprecation in the body of the country's scientific community, and the official acceptance of influence in the pillars of the Islamic system; because the contents of these documents are compiled with the culture and foundations of secular thought in order to seek the globalization of western secular culture. |
