Payesh2009; 8: 395-400Accepted for publication: 4 November 2008[EPub a head of print-29 August 2009] Objective(s): To assess researchers’ impression of their own knowledge translation.Methods: The survey questionnaire was completed by 208 researchers in Tehran University of Medical Sciences (TUMS). They were asked about knowledge translation activities in one of the projects they had completed. They were also asked to score themselves on a scale of 0 to 10, where a higher score meant more activity. The correlation between these two variables and its determinants were assessed by performing multiple linear regressions analysis.Results: Although the researchers had only gained an average of 19.5% of the maximum score of knowledge translation activities, they scored 58.6% of the total score in self-assessments (the difference was significant, P<0.001). Pearson’s correlation between the score of self-assessment and that obtained for the efforts made was 0.43, which indicates an average cor
