Pathology of Persian-Language Scientific Journals

The authorities of reputable scientific journals always welcome the pathology of these journals, but unfortunately, this is uncommon in the scientific community of Iran. Providing scientific articles in the Persian language is a requirement of the country's scientific development, and its prerequisite is the existence of quality Persian-language scientific journals. Despite the abundance of Persian language journals in various disciplines, many Iranian researchers prefer to publish their articles in international journals because of some problems with some Persian journals. Most of these problems are related to how the journal interacts with the researcher, the software bugs of the journals' websites, the low quality of the final version of the articles, and their non-indexing in reliable scientific databases. It is expected that the supervisors of scientific journals try to solve these problems by diagnosing and providing expert solutions, including surveys by Iranian researchers. However, the high quality of some Persian language journals and their professional ethics should not be ignored.
