2. Indicating a new perspective that has not been worked: The authenticity of a research can have various aspects among which indicating the new perspectives can be recalled. Even if the perspectives are mentioned in other studies in subject proposal framework, it is still regarded as authentic.

7. Knowledge Sharing: It can be carried out through various ways as follow: at first, the research can cooperate in the theoretical foundations of a field of study that can confirm its originality. Second, cooperation in action which is aimed at solving the problems which have been occurred during the research process and eventually, it might include cooperating in policy and decision making.
