This document was approved in five chapters on 2009.01.14 The comprehensive scientific map of the country from the time it was announced by the Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution until today, various criticisms and opinions in the explanation, theoretical foundations, strengths and weaknesses, its functions and other components in the form of theoretical, applied, discourse researches in prominent scientific forums. has been One of the concerns related to this document is keeping it up-to-date according to the conditions of science and technology in the country. After 15 years have passed since this document was promulgated, this council intends to revise it. This research examines the content of these studies with the aim of analyzing and drawing its conceptual structure as the main research problem and helping to revise the document in the future. The current research is based on the scientometric approach with the methods of synonym analysis, information clustering and social network analysis. The results related to clustering showed that the topics raised about this document are grouped into 21 topic clusters. Also, drawing conceptual maps indicates that wide relationships and links have been established between concepts and the density of the conceptual network is equal to 26%. The concepts related to the research related to the comprehensive scientific map of the country and the formed clusters are diverse and include a relatively wide range of categories. The conceptual network related to this document is a dense network and the concepts are in an acceptable relationship with each other and there is conceptual convergence in it. This research showed a big picture of the concepts and categories that have been reviewed. Considering that the comprehensive scientific map of the country is on the verge of revision, the results and findings of this research can be useful for those in charge of compiling this document.
