Goal: Considering the positive effects of scientific productions of scientific-citation databases on scientometric indicators of the works indexed on those databases, this research investigates the effects of altmetric scores provided by the Mendeley Scientific-Citation Network on the scientometric indicators of Scopus and Google Scholar. Methods: The present research is a basic study with a quantitative approach that uses the citation method to investigate the effects of altmetric scores of the scientific productions of the semantic web domain derived from the Mendeley and altmetrics databases on the indicator of the number of citations received for these works on Scopus. The thematic domain of the present research involves scientific productions of Iranian authors in the semantic web domain, indexed from 1960 to 2021 on the Scopus database. The statistical population of this research consisted of 271 records at the time data were extracted from the Scopus database (10/02/2022). For the statistical analysis, correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression tests were used in addition to descriptive and inferential statistics. Software used included Excel and SPSS. This research first searched scientific productions of the semantic web domain on Scopus. Then, to meet the main goal of the research, i.e., evaluating the scientific productions of Iranian authors in the semantic web domain and investigating the effects of the activities of these authors on the Mendeley and Altmetric databases on the indicator of the numbers of citations received on the Scopus, the search process was limited to Iranian-affiliated scientific production on Scopus. In the next stage, altmetric scores related to these scientific productions were retrieved from the Mendeley and Altmetrics databases and then prepared for statistical tests. The retrieved works were case studied to increase the accuracy of relating the themes of the works under study. Findings: A survey of scientific productions of semantic web domain on Scopus revealed that the highest number of the works in this domain was registered in 2010, with the first indexed

Objective: Identifying the entrepreneurial opportunity is the turning point of the activities that take place to turn an idea into capital. The present study aimed to provide a causal model for identifying entrepreneurial opportunities with respect to the role of media literacy and entrepreneurial awareness.Methodology: The present study is applied in terms of purpose and descriptive in nature and is of correlational type which has been done in a survey. The statistical population of this study is 780 students studying in Shiraz Girls' Technical and Vocational School, of which 300 people were selected as a statistical sample through simple random sampling. The data collection tool is a questionnaire consisting of subscales of philosophical media literacy (2014), narrow entrepreneurial awareness and Murphy (2012) and identification of entrepreneurial opportunities Pohaka (2010). For statistical analysis, Pearson correlation coefficients, path analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used in Amos and SPSS software.Results: The results show that the five dimensions of media literacy have a direct and significant positive effect on the dimensions of entrepreneurial awareness (scanning and searching, collaboration and communication and evaluation and judgment). Also, the dimensions of media literacy have a direct and significant effect on identifying entrepreneurial opportunities. In the meantime, the effect of critical dimension (0.65 **) is more than other dimensions. Media literacy has an indirect effect on identifying entrepreneurial opportunities through the dimensions of entrepreneurial awareness (scanning and searching, and collaboration and communication). This effect is more on the dimensions of critical view (0.83 **) and conscious choice (0.61 **) than other dimensions. Among the dimensions of entrepreneurial awareness, the dimension of scanning and search has the greatest impact on identifying entrepreneurial opportunities.Conclusion: The development of media literacy will increase the critical view and the spirit of cooperation of individuals. Media literacy provides the context for increasing the recognition of entrepreneurial opportunities. Entrepreneurial awareness reinforces this impact and creates the opportunity to gain more chance of identifying entrepreneurial opportunities by gaining useful and up-to-date information.
