Abstract

Today, one of the most important indicators and criteria for evaluating the significance and
determining the impact of research conducted in the form of research articles and
monographs is the determination of the citation count for these works. The Impact Factor of
an academic journal is a metric that presents and displays the annual average number of
references to articles published in that journal, and it is a significant and influential factor in
precisely defining the position and importance of the research and studies in that reference.
This scholarly reference indicates the complete competence and eligibility of that reference
for citation in the explanation and analysis of issues, and, more importantly, in the discovery
of solutions in addressing dilemmas and challenges—an aspect that has been deemed
reasonable and acceptable in today's world and is one of humanity's most important
achievements in overcoming uncertainties and ambiguities.
In this way, we distanced ourselves from those foundations and meanings. Although
extensive efforts have been made since the Islamic Revolution to revive an art identity based
on tradition, the onslaught from one side and the absence of a coherent artistic school in our
civilization system have dimmed the intensity of these efforts.
Note: The text appears to be discussing the challenges and changes in Iranian Islamic art and
the influence of Western thought and artistic trends on it.
This article, using a descriptive-analytical method and relying on well-documented historical
evidence, endeavors to explain of the ontological foundations of art and architecture, as well
as the unparalleled reference of Iranian Islamic art and architecture throughout its history. It
explains from the standpoint of the worthy and deserving status of this art, which
unfortunately faces serious challenges today. Challenges, of course, can be overcome with
careful planning and scholarly efforts.
