Guide for Authors

Manuscripts are received in Persian. Authors should prepare their manuscripts in the format of the journal template. It is also necessary that the forms of Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), conflict of interest, and assignment of copyright (CC-BY) be signed by all authors. For submitting a Persian manuscript, please change the language of the journal website to Persian from the top of the page.

It should be noted that all the processes of manuscripts can be done only through the editorial manager system of the journal, and no e-mail requests in this regard will be processed. There are 4 mandatory files for the Manuscript submission: Title page, Manuscript Main File (fully anonymous), Cover letter (Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), conflict of interest, and assignment of copyright file), supplementary file (manuscript with author's name and affiliation).

At the stage of revising the manuscript to make referee corrections, when resubmitting the manuscript, you can send the "Response to the referees/reviewers" file. It is necessary for this file to be completely anonymous like the manuscript's main file. The non-anonymity of these two files, at any stage (initial review and refereeing), will cause the article to be returned to the author. 

It is necessary to clearly indicate the corrections in the manuscript's main file after making corrections. Failure to do this will cause the reviewers to withdraw from the arbitration process and prolong the process.

Except for the cover letter, the format of all files must be Word (Docx).

Persian manuscripts are checked by Hamyab software for similarity to be assured about its originality.

ARTICLE PUBLICATION FEES

Open access publishing proposes a relatively new model for scholarly journal publishing that provides worldwide, barrier-free access to the full text of all published articles. Open access allows all interested readers to view, download, print, and redistribute any article without a subscription, enabling far greater distribution of an author's work than the traditional subscription-based publishing model.
