ABSTRACT
Introduction and purpose: The scientific and technological Hegemony of Iran in the next fifty years is not a
thematic plan with daydreaming and dreaming, but the depiction of a reality based on a vision document and with
a firm determination of the people and officials of the country in the not-too-distant future for this border And the
canvas will be created. The purpose of this study is to design a conceptual model of Scientific Hegemony in the
higher education system by critical review.
Methods: This study was conducted as a critical review using Carnwell & Daly method in 2021. The study
population consisted of scientific sources and texts. In this study, definition and models of Scientific Hegemony
were reviewed and critiqued using the Carnwell & Daly model in 5 stages, which include: determining the purpose
of reviewing texts, determining the scope of study, identifying relevant texts, reviewing texts, writing reviews and
results Is. Text searches were performed systematically and comprehensively on databases and GOOGLE and
ERIC and PUBMED websites.
Results: In the current study, 3 concepts with the most relevance in the field of scientific hegemony were
extracted also the results of the study based on 12 proposed layers to evaluate the concept of Scientific
Hegemony showed that a superficial and simplistic approach to the category of authority is usually limited to the
number of published articles and the number of citations of these articles. Taking a closer look at the countries
that have the status of scientific reference in various fields, we find that the advantage of these countries is far
beyond just producing articles. In fact, the authority of these countries is the result of decades of investment in
cultural, theoretical, philosophical, infrastructural and institutional development in these scientific disciplines.
Conclusion: According to the obtained results, it can be concluded that to achieving comprehensive scientific
Hegemony requires a special strategy for each layer of the model. A deeper look at the category of Scientific
Hegemony confirms that the Scientific Hegemony that we are currently seeing examples of in some Western
countries is the result of more radical and long-term developments that include the philosophical and theoretical
levels of scientific development. In other words, achieving the position of Scientific Hegemony requires that
universities and academic centers excel in the fields of education, research, technology, theorizing, reference and
reliance, accountable, up-to-date, leading, and globally.
