For about two decades, the different organizations have begun offering various types of electronic services in the world and many researchers have spoken about governments using multiple approaches to become smarter. However, there is no consensus and no precise definition of the smart government, its components and dimensions. On the other hand, the high cost of implementing macro-scale e-service projects encourages governments to initially model e-government and control costs. Hence, over a decade, various models for the development, delivery, evaluation, and other dimensions of e-government have been presented and discussed, but because of the novelty of the smart government as the new generation of e-government, no specific framework and model are provided. The purpose of this research is to identify the components and dimensions of smart government and their classification. Therefore, it tries to use the meta-synthesis method to systematically study scientific documents related to the discussion and to express the dimensions of the smart government. Finally, by using the Shannon entropy method, the indices of each dimension are ranked according to previous studies. The result of the research shows that the smart government has six dimensions: 1. Smart management and leadership; 2. Infrastructure and smart technology; 3. Smart interaction; 4. Smart service; 5. Smart environment; and 6. Smart security. The results of the research show that the proposed model is more complete than other studies, and it has a specific category. This research is the first research to rank the indicators and dimensions of smart government.

Development of the Internet and the emergence of innovative ideas in this area increase the importance of supporting the virtual organizations. Virtual incubators are economic development tools that play an important role in developing of new businesses, particularly in the field of Internet. The aim of this research is establishing a comprehensive and accurate understanding of the new phenomenon of virtual incubators. For this purpose, in this paper a systematic review of previous research works in the field of virtual incubators are discussed by meta-synthesis method. This research is descriptive and fundamental. Qualitative and quantitative analysis of past research on the topics such as "Share of subjects", "Research Methods", “common theories” and "launch requirements" are discussed. Results indicate that largest share issue is allocated to the component of business model. The most dominant methods from the perspective of purpose, data collection and run are applied, the library and descriptive in virtual incubators area. Two theories have been seen in the past researches, include: Virtual organization and network theories. Environmental, organizational and technological requirements are three basic categories of requirements for launch and development of virtual incubators. In this paper, with composition and interpretation of previous studies and based on "concept mapping" we provided a conceptual framework for the development of researches in virtual incubators. This framework help to better understanding, improvement and covering the knowledge gap in this area for future research.
