Instructions to Authors
Aims and Scope
The Iranian Journal of Virology (Iran J Virol) is an international peer review semi-annual biomedical publication, the aim of which is to provide a scientific medium of communication for researchers globally. The Journal welcomes original clinical articles as well as basic science research experiences mainly on prevalent diseases in the region and the analysis of various regional problems. The Journal publishes articles on all aspects of virology, in the form of original article, review article, case report, letter to editor and short communication.
Editorial Independency
The Iranian Journal of Virology benefits from editorial freedom. Our editorial policy is consistent with the principles of editorial independence presented by WAME.
http://www.wame.org
Submission Process
Manuscripts should be submitted through on-line submission system:
(http://journal.isv.org.ir/form_send_article.php?&slct_pg_id=22&sid=1&slc_lang=en)
Peer Review Process
The articles are primarily evaluated by our statisticians and internal screeners who check the articles for any methodological flaws, format, and their compliance with the journal’s instructions. Then a submission code will be allocated and all the future contacts should be based on this code. Through a double-blind review, the articles will be reviewed by at least two external (peer) reviewers. Their comments will be passed to the authors and their responses to the comments along with the reviewers’ comments will then be evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief, the Deputy Editor, and a final reviewer who can be a member of the Editorial Board. The final review process will be discussed in regular editorial board sessions and on the basis of the comments, and the journal’s scope, the Editors-in-Chief will decide which articles should be published.
Ethical Considerations
The journal is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). COPE’s flowcharts and guidelines are approached in confronting any ethical misbehavior. The Journal also follows the guidelines mentioned in the Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals issued by the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) (http://www.icmje.org/#privacy).
The research that involves human beings (or animals) must adhere to the principles of the Declaration of Helsinki.
(http://www.wma.net/en/30publications/10policies/b3/index.html).
Informed consent
All patients and participants of the research should be thoroughly informed about the aims of the study and any possible side effects of the drugs and intervention. Written informed consent from the participants or their legal guardians is necessary for any such studies. The Journal reserves the right to request the related documents.
Authorship
Based on the newly released Recommendations for the Conduct, Reporting, Editing and Publication of Scholarly Work in Medical Journals, by the ICMJE, “an Author” is generally considered to be someone who meets the following conditions 1, 2, 3, and 4.
1. Substantial contributions to the conception or design of the work; or the acquisition, analysis, or interpretation of data for the work; AND
2. Drafting the work or revising it critically for important intellectual content; AND
3. Final approval of the version to be published; AND
4. Agreement to be accountable for all aspects of the work in ensuring that questions related to the accuracy or integrity of any part of the work are appropriately investigated and resolved.
Copyright
If a manuscript contains any previous published image or text; it is the responsibility of the author to obtain authorization from copyright holders. The author is required to obtain and submit the written original permission letters for all copyrighted material used in his/her manuscripts.
Retraction Policy
The Iran J Virol uses the COPE flowchart for retraction of a published article (http://publicationethics.org/resources/guidelines) to determine whether a published article should be retracted.
Cover letter
Should contain a statement that you will not resubmit your article to another journal until the reviewing process is completed. Also please indicate whether the authors have published or submitted any related papers from the same study.
Manuscripts Preparation
Text Formatting
