The purpose of the research: The purpose of the present study is to evaluate Persian academic textbooks in the field of Knowledge and Information Science Studies based on the desirable criteria for compiling such books.

Research Methodology: The research was conducted using a library method and content analysis. The instrument for this research is a checklist for evaluating academic textbooks, which was adopted from a related study selected from a large number of conducted studies. This checklist includes formal, editorial, and content criteria, each containing several components, against which the research population was examined. The population under study in this research includes all available and accessible books published by SAMT Publications, comprising 53 academic textbooks in the field of Knowledge and Information Science, which were examined and evaluated using the selected checklist.

Research Findings: The analysis of academic textbooks in the field of Knowledge and Information Science Studies, published by SAMT, revealed that, overall, the three criteria—physical appearance, writing quality, and content—were observed to a certain extent in these works. However, a closer examination of the internal components of these criteria highlights specific aspects that require greater attention and revision.

For instance, within the physical appearance criteria, the highest score was associated with the alignment of the book’s format with its content volume. This suggests that publishers have primarily focused on technical and standardization aspects of book production,
