Objective: The main objective of this article was to analyze Iran's upstream documents in the field of recruitment, promotion, and service compensation of research faculty members in order to assess the challenges and problems existing in these documents and subsequently provide suggestions for overcoming them. Methodology:In the present study, the symptomatic reading method was used which is one of the research methods in the field of social sciences. In the symptomatic reading method, sampling is not necessary. Based on this, all of Iran's upstream documents regarding the system of recruitment, promotion, and service compensation of research faculty members were selected. The analysis of the documents was carried out by initially categorizing and classifying the explicit statements in the text of each of these documents regarding the system of recruitment, promotion, and service compensation for research faculty members. Then, by re-examining the texts of these documents, the researchers proceeded to articulate the points or unsaid aspects that were not addressed in each of the top documents regarding the system of recruitment, promotion, and service compensation of research faculty members. Findings: The findings of the analysis were categorized into two main categories including what was spoken and what was not spoken in the existing documents. Then, based on these findings, policy proposals were presented. Discussion and conclusion: Considering that the mission and framework of research centers differs from those of universities in Iran, it is essential to pay serious attention to the recruitment, promotion, and compensation of the faculty members in research centers. It is not possible to apply a uniform and fixed procedure in this regard.
