A Scientometric Analysis of the Journal of “Language Related Research”

Volume 0, Issue 0 (Articles accepted at the time of publication 2024)
Abstract
This study employed a comprehensive scientometric analysis of scientific publications within the Journal of Language Related Research from 2012 to 2023, encompassing 871 journal documents. Utilizing VOSviewer software, quantitative tools were applied to analyze research output, authorship, collaboration patterns, thematic trends (past, present, and future), and geographical distribution. The analysis revealed a significant increase in the number of publications in recent years, though citation rates displayed variation across the timeframe. Visualizations based on co-authorship, bibliometric coupling, and citation data unveiled a dense network of collaboration among authors. The authors with the highest number of publications were Golfam (n =17) and Pishghadam (n =16),  while Derakhshan (78) and Shakki (65) were the two authors with the most citations. Analysis of "authors' keywords" and "keywords plus" co-occurrences within the network pinpointed prominent thematic areas within the journal's knowledge domain and context, including "Persian language," "critical discourse analysis," "semiotics," and "cognitive linguistics." The study concludes with a discussion of the findings and their broader implications.

Abstract
Fungi are the most important agents of biodeterioration in museums, libraries, and repositories. The objectives of the paper were to evaluate the microbial diversity in biodeteriorated manuscripts located in a repository of the central library of Astan Quds Razavi (AQR) and to estimate the fungal occurrence of the repository air. The sterile cotton swabs and nitrocellulose membranes were used for sampling the manuscripts, while the sedimentation method was used for the microbial sampling of air. To evaluate the biodeteriorative impacts of fungi, fungal spore’s suspension inoculated on paper strips. Fourteen and six fungal isolates were collected from the three different deteriorated substrates and the repository air samples, respectively. Among the fungi isolates, Aspergillus sp. was isolated in high frequency (36%), followed by Penicillium sp. (21/5%) and Altelnania sp. (14%). Fungi species including P. chrysogenum, Cladosporium cladosporioides, Talaromyces diversus, and Aspergillus sp. were isolated from B1 sample as a parchment. The most fungal isolates (53%) in the air repository including Purpureocillium lilacinum, Talaromyces diversus, Cladosporium sp., and Aspergillus sp were achieved from MEA medium. The low number of isolated fungi from repository air can be attributed to the efficiently controlled environment factors of AQR repository. The combination of finding provides some support for the conceptual premise that it could be a direct relationship between the isolated microorganisms from air and those isolated from the manuscripts. The presence of color spots on paper strips can approve the biodeterioration of paper via fungal activities.
Evaluation of the Effects of Organic and Conventional Cultivation Practices on Phytochemical and Anti-Cancer Activities of Saffron (Crocus sativus L.)

Volume 25, Issue 1 (1-2023)
Abstract
Saffron (Crocus Sativus L.) is a medicinal plant with high nutritional, medicinal value, and anticancer properties that have great cytotoxic effects on cancer cells. To evaluate the anticancer effects of stamen and tepal extracts of saffron on human breast cancer cells (MCF-7), a factorial experiment based on a completely randomized block design with three replications was conducted at the Agricultural Research Field of the University of Birjand, Iran. The treatments included field age (one-, two-, and three-year-old farm), as well as organic and conventional cultivation with different levels of manure and chemical fertilizer (low, medium, and high levels of chemical fertilizer and manure), respectively. The studied traits including Total Phenolic Content (TPC), antioxidant activity, and cytotoxicity were evaluated by using, respectively, 2,2-Diphenyl-1-Picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), Ferric Reducing Antioxidant Power (FRAP), and A 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5- diphenylte- tetrazolium bromide (MTT) tests. The results showed a significant difference among the phytochemical, antioxidant, and anti-cancer properties of the extracts obtained from organic and conventional conditions, the highest of which was obtained from organic cultivation. In addition, the content of antioxidants and therapeutic compounds in the extracts increased by increasing the level of manure. The result of the MTT test showed that both tepal and stamen extracts of saffron had an anti-proliferative effect on cancer cells, with stronger anti-cancer properties for stamen extract. Therefore, the use of stamen extract as an effective and inexpensive source for the pharmaceutical industry would open up new dimensions to prevent the therapeutic challenges of breast cancer.
