Abstract: (419 Views)
The publication of scientific articles introduces new and updated information to the scientific and industrial communities, which can be effective in developing new technologies and solving social problems. To publish a paper, researchers face various challenges, including choosing the right topic, collecting data, analyzing data, writing the paper, choosing the right journal, submitting the paper, conforming to the journal templates, and the acceptance or rejection of the paper.
Considering the great variety of Iranian medical journals and the fact that each journal has its own structure and specific writing instructions for authors, this issue has become a major challenge for authors. This challenge will be more evident when the article is rejected because the structure of the article must be changed again to send it to another journal. Therefore, the purpose of this policy brief is to present a proposal to the Center for the Development and Coordination of Information and Scientific Publications of the Ministry of Health to create a comprehensive system for publishing articles in medical journals. All Iranian journals will be linked to this system. The authors can benefit from this novel system to manage their articles and writings, deal with the problems, and improve the process of publishing scientific articles.
