Afarand Scholarly Publishing Institute

Afarand Scholarly Publishing Institute began its activities in 2003 in Iran and has operated from Türkiye since 2018. Afarand is the publisher of its journals, not their owner: every journal is owned by a university or research institute, and Afarand provides publishing, editorial management and technical services under a written agreement with each owner.

All Afarand journals are open access, follow the COPE Core Practices and the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, and archive their content with the Islamic World Science Citation Center (ISC).
