Abstract
Nowadays, the development of international scientific activities is one of the main concerns of universities to increase credibility, quality and branding. However, the situation of scientific-international cooperation, especially in developing countries, is not very favorable. In the present research, after a brief review of the obstacles of scientific cooperation in developing countries, a user interface has been presented in order to expand international cooperation in the context of scientific social networks. This user interface has the ability to be implemented and added to scientific social networks and also provides an integrated structure for establishing international cooperation. In this short research, the steps of the mechanism of the user interface have been shown precisely from the first stage, i.e. the registration of the cooperation request by the user of the scientific social network to the end of a scientific collaboration. In the user interface, three main concepts of cooperation agreement, support team and reliability index are defined.
