Journal aims
The main field of activity of the Journal of Social Problems of Iran is focused on publishing experimental scientific-research articles with the approach of social problems of Iran. However, given that the field of social issues is an interdisciplinary field, research articles (theoretical and experimental) from the fields of sociology, anthropology, demography, cultural studies and communication, and related fields that in any way assist to recognize, analyze and manage the difficult and complex social issues of Iranian society are also welcomed. Also, in each issue, 2 to 3 new books on social issues are introduced and critiqued.
Received articles will be published based on the procedure of scientific-research journals and after evaluation by experts in the field related to the article and with the opinion of the editorial board of the journal. Efforts are made to determine the results of the evaluations and to inform the authors of the articles in a short period of time.
