The Research Vice-Chancellor of the University has managed dozens of short-term, medium-term, and long-term research projects in the form of books, articles, and theses since the beginning of the university’s establishment and recognition in academic circles.

This research perspective has been considered in preparing the resources of the central library of the university as one of the important libraries in the field of religions. In this library, the most important and comprehensive resources needed by researchers of religions and denominations have been collected in several languages. The specialized library of the university is a rare collection of resources and study references of religions and denominations in several languages in Iran and the region, which has provided the possibility of free access to the library resources through the open shelf system for the general researchers without any restrictions. Along with the developments of the day, this library has expanded its range of services and connected the library software to Google Book and Nosa Book. Currently, this library has 90,150 volumes of Persian and Arabic books, 19845 volumes of Latin books, 49 titles of Latin publications, 163,000 records of Persian articles, 200 titles of Persian theses, 100 titles of Latin theses, 3,000 audiovisual CDs in Persian language, and 1200 is an audio-visual CD in Latin.

In the past years, the works of these two publishing centers have been able to win top ranks in various festivals (such as Book of the Year Award, Religion Book of the Year, Hawzah Book of the Year, Chapter Book). The research deputy of the University has prepared a regulation in order to manage research projects and create a platform for fundamental, applied, developmental research and authoring and translating useful books and articles, by which it provides financial support to various researches of university students and professors.
