The Ratio of Participation in the Field of Manuscripts with New Trends in Information and Communication Technology Innovative Solutions...

The world's acceleration towards the future is a cognitive error: the world is moving towards its own depths, and such movement necessitates exploration and research in all dimensions of the world and time. In this context, lived experience and historical past serve as somewhat expensive but readily available critiques for seekers; acquiring what humanity has lost in distant times requires much energy, tools, and cost, while delving into historical sources is rich with minimal effort! Thus, the unparalleled opportunity that the world has granted people at this time has become a capital for the growth of insight and knowledge, providing new possibilities when facing ancient sources and texts of knowledge. Joining this caravan, of course, is necessary and appropriate for research managers, librarians, text researchers, and codicologists, and it can no longer be considered a side or ancillary matter that can be requested from others. 
Libraries and research and cultural centers can and must utilize "social networks" and "crowdsourcing" as two new tools to expand their research capabilities. 
1- Social Networks 
Promotion Tools: Libraries and research centers use social networks to introduce scientific fields, methods and structures, resources and facilities, and identify researchers' interests and talents. The publication of concise research summaries and research findings (Highlight) is a method that establishes the community's connection with the space of scientific research (including codicology and text editing). 
Training Tools: Gadgets connected to social networks and social networks based on skill enhancement and training (such as LinkedIn and Faradars) have become a new field for receiving educational content.
There is no longer a need to go through a lengthy series of preliminaries to enter the field of research. You gain access to and learn everything you need at the same time. And whatever you know, you can teach others, briefly or in a lengthy manner. Libraries and research centers should establish training and recruitment units in social networks.
Information tools: Reporting on cultural events and publishing them online in an interactive manner is a new approach that research centers and libraries can use social networks to achieve.
Research tools: Research software and its flagship, artificial intelligence, have now entered the field of textual research and codicology. Understanding data mining and text mining approaches and new AI text processing tools is essential for the new generation of researchers working with manuscripts. Artificial intelligence has intertwined with social networks, providing a novel combination of capabilities for scholars.
Crowdsourcing: For a long time, the act of research has fallen outside the definable duties of administrative staff (although remnants of this outdated perspective still exist in some educational, research, and library structures). However, research as a distributed and team-based activity, especially in the fields of codicology and textual studies, has not yet become a dominant and effective culture. The reality is that such research can also be conducted in a more team-oriented, professional, and economical manner. Collective intelligence, outsourcing tasks, open source, online technology, open innovation, and co-creation are new concepts in this domain.
Crowdsourcing Research Groups (Human Resources):  
The lengthy duration of researching a text and the need to master its various layers make the processes of editing and manuscript studies slow, costly, and inefficient in today's world. Meanwhile, young researchers can adopt a team approach to divide a project into several sub-projects based on the specialized fields of the research team members, completing the work with appropriate speed and quality in a short period. Recently, there have been calls in the world for the unknown and invitations for everyone to participate in scientific activities. Here, everyone presents their work to peer reviewers, and the work evolves through interaction among team members and social networks, resulting in examples that meet acceptable quality standards. The outsourcing of tasks to the general public voluntarily in the field of scientific issues has also begun.
Crowdsourcing Research Resources (Library):  
Another aspect of work with social networks is the crowdsourcing of reading, viewing, and listening resources. Much of the potential in bibliography can benefit from this, and examples have emerged worldwide. A group has formed on the Telegram social media platform consisting of researchers in the field of Arabic manuscripts, which has thousands of members, and these members assist other researchers around the world in correcting reading errors and providing research resources (images of manuscripts) from their locations. Persian-language versions of such efforts are effective and beneficial among Persian speakers in the region and worldwide. In the field of research, extratextual materials such as translations, geography, history, etc., can also be procured in the best way and in the shortest time and with the highest quality from the nearest local sources.
Crowdfunding Financial Resources  
We have often been informed about the departure of a manuscript from the country or region destined for international auctions. We also know that many important research projects remain uncompleted for years while waiting for funding. Both of these problems can be addressed by adopting a centralized communication approach through social networks and paying attention to crowdfunding models. Libraries and heritage research centers simply need to focus specifically on the crowdfunding process and establish clubs for supporters of manuscripts and heritage research. The result will be a multitude of people interested in history, language, and culture who, with their modest, selfless contributions, will create a generous and fruitful source for funding new resource acquisitions (purchasing manuscripts) and financing stalled projects. Meanwhile, the regulations and principles of crowdfunding, which primarily include the existence of a selected supervisory board of contributors and transparent auditing and financial reporting, should also be a top priority for these centers. The implementation of crowdfunding can occur in collaboration between non-governmental organizations and libraries and research centers to ensure that cumbersome regulations do not hinder its dynamic movement.  
Collective Investment  
A form of crowdfunding can be viewed as investment (for instance, to purchase documents or manuscripts and entrust them to a research center or library), known as collective investment (Crowdfunding). Through this means, the social capital of a research center leads to funding from investors, allowing projects without management or budget to be executed and turned into value.
