Aims and Scope

The objectives of Scientia Iranica are two-fold. The first is to provide a forum for the presentation of original works by scientists and engineers worldwide. The second is to open an effective channel to enhance communication between scientists and engineers and the exchange of state-of-the-art research and ideas.
The scope of the journal is broad and multidisciplinary in technical sciences and engineering. It encompasses theoretical and experimental research. Specific areas include but are not limited to chemistry, chemical engineering, civil engineering, control and computer engineering, electrical engineering, material, manufacturing and industrial management, mathematics, mechanical engineering, nuclear engineering, petroleum engineering, physics, nanotechnology.

Latest review

First review round: 24.6 weeks. Overall rating: 1 (bad). Outcome: Rejected.

Motivation:
Half a year after the initial submission, the editor notified me that he had decided to reject the paper based on the reviewers' comments. However, the editor did not provide me with any insight into the reviewers' comments, despite my request that they be forwarded to me. In this way, it appears that the editorial board of Scientia Iranica Journal is only using the reviewers' efforts to support the journal's decision-making process rather than supporting the scientific community growth and exchange of knowledge (that reviewer comments should contribute to in the first place). As a result of this unusual procedure, I will no longer be submitting or possibly writing reviews for this journal.
