During the third and fourth stages, the self-assessment section of knowledge translation activities was developed as the main structure of the questionnaire in four components, namely research question, knowledge creation, knowledge transfer, and promotion of using evidence. In the following, the psychometric analysis of the final version of the questionnaire (with 46 items) was approved for all the items with the impact score of 4.48, content validity index of 0.92, content validity ratio of 0.85, Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.91, and correlation coefficient of 0.93. The results of this study indicated that the developed questionnaire enjoys proper psychometric properties for the self-assessment of knowledge translation activities of academic researchers by considering the role of librarians in facilitating this process.
