Iranian Journal of Fisheries Sciences

Aims & Scope

Research papers on fisheries and fishery-related subjects will be considered for publication. All material submitted must be original and unpublished works. Two types of manuscripts will be accepted for peer review: “Original Research Papers” and “Review Papers”. Review paper should be submitted by a top rank researcher who is well-known in the field of the title of the manuscript. • Original Research Papers should consist of original research. The body text should have the following contents: Title, Author(s)` name(s) and affiliation(s), Abstract, Keywords, Introduction, Materials and methods, Results, Discussion, Acknowledgements and References. • Short Communications are concise but complete description of limited investigations, which should consist of the following contents: Title, Author(s), name(s) and affiliation(s), Keywords, Introduction, Materials and methods, Results and discussion (combined), Acknowledgements and References. The number of figures and/or tables combined is limited to 4. They should not exceed 3000 words, including figures and tables, with up to 30 references. Because of their nature, these communications will go through a more accelerated review and publication process. • Review Papers are scholarly reviews of the literature on important subjects within the scope of the journal. Anyone wishing to write a review for the journal should first contact the Editors to ascertain the suitability of the topic. They should consist of the following sections: Title, Author(s)` name(s) and affiliation(s), Abstract, Keywords, Introduction (with literature review), Discussion, Acknowledgements and References. The corresponding author of the review paper must be one of the authors of at least three papers appearing in the references. Manuscripts: Manuscripts should be written in English language.

A twelfth criterion — whether APC fees are clearly disclosed — is not scored here; it is left out of the total rather than counted as a failure. Publication charges appear in the metrics card above.
