Aims and scope

The Iranian Journal of Science  is devoted to significant original research articles of moderate length (not more than 25 pages in typeset format), in the broad spectrum of Biology, Chemistry, Geology, Mathematics, and Physics. Special attention is paid to applications of these fields in medical science and multidisciplinary research. Invited surveys of scientific developments in a subject of current interest are occasionally published.

The Iranian Journal of Science is divided into five sections, which are listed below with their subjects of interest.

1. Biology

 In this section manuscripts on biotechnology, cell and molecular biology, biochemistry, physiology, systematics and taxonomy, ecology and conservation, developmental biology, systems biology and computational modeling are considered for publication in the Iranian Journal of Science. In particular, authors of papers in medical science, relevant to one of these subjects, are welcome to submit their work.

2. Chemistry

Editors of this section consider manuscripts on analytical, inorganic, organic, nano, physical and polymer chemistry for publication in the journal.

3. Geology

The Iranian Journal of Science covers both theoretical and experimental manuscripts in the subjects of tectonics and structural geology, geophysics, geochemistry, mineralogy, petrology, paleontology, hydrogeology, economics and environmental geology.

4. Mathematics  

The journal publishes mathematics articles which contribute new information to a topic of algebra, analysis, differential equations, geometry, mathematical biology, optimization, probability and statistics.

5. Physics
Lastly, this publication considers physics papers in the fields of biophysics, atomic and molecular physics, condensed matter, elementary particles and fields, nuclear physics, statistical mechanics and thermodynamics, quantum physics, mathematical physics, astrophysics, astronomy, relativity, gravitation and cosmology.
