Introduction Looking at the development process in countries with industrial innovations, it can be seen that the role of research parks is very important in this process. Indeed, one of the most significant factors in the growth of industrial innovation is the number and quality of research parks and their prosperity. The development of these research parks is one of the most important reasons which reminds us of the significance of an evaluation system in these research parks. 1,2 Based on the definition of the international association of science and technology parks, a science park is an organization managing by experts and its major role is the enhancement of wealth in society through innovation and competition among existing knowledge-based companies and institutions. In order to achieve this goal, the science park triggers and manages the flow of science and technology in between universities, research and development institutions, private companies and the market and simplifies the growth of companies which rely on innovation, through these business incubations. Science parks also offer other services with high added value along with workspaces and high-quality convenience. 3,4 Based on the national comprehensive scientific plan, national five-year development plan, the 20-year oversight plan of Iran in the year 1404 (2035 AD), Iran should move towards a science-oriented country with strong scientific and industrial infrastructures and industry-oriented scientific structure. The realization of this goal depends on the foundation and development of science-based and scienceoriented corporations in close relations with universities and academic centers. In fact, science and technology parks prepare and enlighten the way for progress. 5,6 Nowadays, the main purpose of the foundation of research parks and research centers comes from the need
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
