Read More Introduction: The differentiation as a process occurs when new functions emerge in a system, and for this reason the university system is bound to diversify. With the advancement of knowledge and increase in competition, it has become a challenging issue and an inevitable necessity. This study aimed at identifying the dimensions of the differentiation of Iran’s medical sciences universities through determining a protocol of the competitive advantage and scientific strength of clinical specialty and subspatiality departments of research activities.Methods: This was a mixed-methods study; the qualitative study was carried out using a conventional content analysis method. We held a focus group discussion to develop a protocol of scientific strength and competitive advantage for mission differentiation. We used purposive sampling, in February 2019. The sessions were audio-taped. We analyzed the data by considering the verbatim transcribed document of the audio recorded discussions using conventional content analysis method for theme development. In the second stage, we implemented the proposed protocol in thefirst stage through the Scientometrics System for all 66 colleges and universities of the Ministry of Health and Medical Education.Results: The results of the first stage includes a protocol, 4 indices and two formulae for scientific strength and competitive advantage proposed by the expert participants and an executive model designed to clinical specialty and sub-specialty of the college and universities of medical sciences in the research activities. In the second stage, the scientific strength and competitive advantage was calculated for all universities of medical sciences. The results indicated that some universities, for instance, Tehran, Shahid-Beheshti, Iran, Shiraz, Isfahan, etc. had the most competitive advantages among the academic clinical specialty and sub-specialty departments.Conclusion: Besides teaching and research, universities should contribute to local socio-economic development, in the growing conviction that scientific research results and educational skillsare crucial for the economic growth of nations. The enhancement of high-quality education and excellence in teaching will be consistent and sustained in research-intensive universities. Itshould strongly promote the integration and relatedness of teaching and research as an essential characteristic of the university.

Read More Introduction: Capability is built upon knowledge and wisdom, and scientific progress and development is associated with wealth production, national and international authority, andindependence. To promote scientific development, as a prerequisite to the country’s progress in other areas, there is a need for strategic planning and creating scientific capacities. Today’s world is facinga rapid growth and development in science and technology, and universities and higher education centers have an important role in the society’s development and progress in the areas of humanresources training, science and technology production, and solving different problems. Considering the Iran’s health scientific road map and communication of innovation and reform plans, andsince universities are required to identify the areas of authority, this study was conducted to determine the challenges of scientific authority promotion and proper courses of action.Methods: In this study, content analysis was used as a qualitative research method. The triangulation method was applied for data collection. Purposive sampling was done to select the participantsfor focused group discussion and data collection continued until data saturation was achieved. The participants were 19 higher education experts and MOHME policymakers. The ATLAS.ti software version 5.2 was used for analysis of data.Results: The results of the analysis of transcripts obtained from FGD with higher education experts and MOHME policymakers showed 4 themes, 10 categories and 43 sub-categories. The resultingthemes included: “Experienced perceptions of scientific authority”, “Requirements of scientific authority”, “Challenges of scientific authority”, and “Strategies for promoting scientific authority”. Conclusion: Universities and governmental sectors do not represent all the capacities, and there are much more capacities that can be exploited with participation of different sectors and institutions, especially inter-sectoral and inter-university collaborations. Many advances in new sciences have occurred in interdisciplinary majors, and these collaborations help to take solid steps towards scientific authority.
