Abstract
Copyright grants authors and artists, exclusive rights to protect authors and artists, on the one hand, and to protect community rights on the other hand. The author can, for a temporary period of time, earn from the commercialization of his work and register his name as the creator forever in the history and culture of humanity. National and international legislatives have provided these rights to authors in a way that prevents them from abusing this right and restricting the community's rights. One of the examples of community rights is the right of access to information. At first glance, copyright seems to limit this right of society, but in conclusion, with a look at the foundations of intellectual property, in general, and at the foundations of copyright, in particular, as well as careful scrutiny of national and international regulations, not only does this monopoly guarantee the intactness and originality of information and cultural materials, and is in line with the public interests, but also the limitations and exceptions to it impede the copyright restrictive role on the right of access to information. In addition, the prediction of the moral right of the author leads to originality and authenticity of information and enables the community to enjoy original and authentic information with a definite and certain source. In this respect, the provisions of Article 19 of the Bill on the Protection of Literary and Artistic Property and the Articles 2 and 2bis of the Berne Convention at national and international levels are significant.

Since the use of mobile social networks is prevalent among the students, the present study is aimed to predict the degree of dependence on social networks through the goals of using these networks among students of the 9th regional universities. The research method is descriptive-correlational. The research instrument was a researcher-made questionnaire with questions about research variables and its validity and reliability were confirmed. The statistical population consisted of all universities in 9 countries (11 universities), among which 6 universities were distributed and collected in a Stratified random manner through a researcher-made questionnaire. Data were analyzed by SPSS software. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used for data analysis (one sample t-test, Pearson correlation, simple linear regression and multiple regression). The results showed that social network dependency was higher than average and positive correlation was found between leisure time goals, communication with relatives, diversity in service use, and record sharing in the likes. There is a score of 0.37 and these goals predict 14.3% of students' affiliation to mobile social networks. therefore, suggested that by using extremist social networks, responsible agencies design and run programs to raise awareness of the diverse services of these networks to fill students' leisure time usefully.

“Social Media” has emerged as new phenomenon in the scope of research and academia since 2005. Using Meta-Analysis (Scientometrics Approach) as a research method, the purpose of this study was to review over the past trends of Research & Development (R&D) in the area of “social Media”.The population of this study was all scientific documents indexed in Web of Science (WoS) databases from 1970 until June 2019 with the keyword of “Social Media” as a subject (all together 40,471 documents with “Social Media” as a subject and 15,038 documents with Social Media” in the Titles). To find out the conceptual transformation, all collected documents have been divided into three categories based on their frequency: 1-from 2005 to 2011, 2- from 2012 to 2015 and 3- from 2016-2019. The “theme analysis” of the documents in this study shows that a significant conceptual transformation can be highlight in R&D from 2005 to 2019 in the area of “Social Media”. in addition, even though US, UK, China and other western countries were the first nations who start R&D in the area of “Social Media”, it was noted that especially after 2015, many new and emerging countries like Malaysia, Qatar, Jordan, U.A.E., Pakistan, Kazakhstan and etc. in the developing countries also came to the picture in establishing international R&D networks to also contribute to the body of knowledge in this area.

Accessing the right sample and engaging the participant in research collaboratively in helping professions that deals with individuals’ deeper issues is a sensitive subject. Qualitative psychologists are therefore increasingly using the internet as a medium for interviewing. The purpose of this study is to present a model of virtual research in helping professions based on ethical standards. The research method was qualitative and content analysis. The study population consisted of literature on research ethics and articles written on cyberspace research and the sample included articles published over the past 20 years. The analysis continued until data saturation and then combining the themes, the ethical model of virtual research presented based on seven components: preparing the researcher (fostering a positive attitude to virtual research, recognizing instant messaging capabilities, preparing questions, inviting participants, setting time), Teaching the interviewer the research procedures (text interviewing and its features, simultaneous interviewing for spontaneity, reviewing participants responses when writing their next response), Establishing rapport (expressing goals, principles of confidentiality, obtaining informed consent), providing basic information to participants (expressing goals and rights, how to deal with unpleasant emotions, emphasizing confidentiality), teaching procedures to participants (emphasizing Simultaneous interviewing, emphasizing volunteering Interviewing, non-imposing), recording and storing data (transferring the conversation to a Word file, editing the file, re-reading it), and research reporting (inserting a password for conversations, changing the participant's identity information before the final report).

The present study aims at extracting the indexes of Iranian users’ of sense of security, using the triangulation method, in the social cyber networks during September 2016 to December 2018. Social networks were included domestic networks such as Soroush, Etâ, etc. And the foreign networks as telegram, WhatsApp, etc. The findings were obtained through documentary studies, in-depth interviews with experts and active users, focus group techniques, and content analysis of cyber-user references and press interviews of officials. The result of this research show the extraction of indexes of the sense of security and the determination of its dimension in the Iranian users’ cyber space. we determined and finalized 66 indexes in 5 dimensions (including economic, political, cultural, social and legal dimensions) with 11 Categories (including the financial Exchanges, occupational Opportunities, political opinions, national power, moral Principles, cultural norms, religious beliefs, emotional, family Connections, privacy, and citizen rights).The Iranian users’ sense of online security, although manifested in varying degrees of offline security, is affected by the state-citizen relationship in the real community. The concerns of users are more focused on mental dimension and micro-security levels, where the privacy of users is sign. Double-edged sword of technology and the New Age fluid surveillance, in addition to creating freedom and promoting awareness, is in service of political system objectives and this is the main concern of Iranian users. The theories of Turkel (2011) and Wellman (2012) are good insights in explaining the status of the components of online security

The media along with modern technologies have been influential in the transformation of the cultural and social characteristics of a society. In this regard, humor and irony on general and jokes as a part of sub-culture may be effective in the process of social change. In the light of the extension of virtual space and various messengers including telegram, this space, with respect to its potentials, has created remarkable communications and mutual interactions between social context and its output. Restriction policies of virtual space and the use of symbolic violence has led to some changes in the action of telling-jokes. The present article, is based on a descriptive-analytical approach and uses a combined research methodology. Hence, in quantitative section, experts have analyzed explorative factors among the samples. In qualitative section, netnographic method has been used to compare different jokes in virtual space before and after the telegram filtering. Finally, the jokes has been analyzed using Raymond Boudon’s metatheory and Pierre Bourdieu’s symbolic violence. The results of the present study suggest that the filtering of telegram not only did not reduce the jokes intensity and effectiveness, but resulted in the enhancement of black jokes especially associated with sex category andthe reduction of the white jokes aiming at mere laughter. Furthermore, communicative and access challenges contributed to the change of jokes from pictorial to written form.

The entry of governance into the digital arena has created new opportunities, and the answer to some of the fundamental questions of governance has also been challenged, especially questions of the relationship between people and government. Today, with the rapid spread of information technology, the use of people is no longer limited to marches and elections, and citizens have more power to influence governance. Citizenship technology addresses how to govern in the digital age with the help of the people.Citizenship technology overlaps with e-government, public participation, and open governance innovation. Citizenship technology refers to the use of open data by outsiders who develop IT-based tools to meet public needs. This definition encompasses a wide range of digital tools and is based on various classifications.For a comprehensive view of citizenship technology, it is necessary to evaluate the definitions of this issue and identify its various types. Examining the challenges of this issue can also help us in launching and developing. In the present article, an attempt is made to discuss the dimensions of this issue and extract the concept of citizenship technology from its heart.
