The purpose of this research is to study the generations of Iranian academics and compare them with generations in the world to study the social characteristics of each generation in their ecosystems. The research method is documentary and analytical reasoning. In the theoretical discussions, there are five generations of Iranians corresponding to the five generations of the contemporary world; First generation: veterans/ Iranian constitutional generation; Second generation: Boomers/ the generation of Iranian nationalism; Third generation: generation X/ generation of modernization in Iran; Fourth generation: generation Y or Millennium/ Generation of Islamic Revolution; Fifth generation: Z or Net generation/ Generation of Post-Revolution. The first generation is familiar with the Mertonian norms and tradition of staying in an elite university. The second generation is accompanied by the growth of political norms and dominant scientific norms.
