Background and Objectives: One of the most important ways to promote the quality and attractiveness for readers is the accurate evaluation of the published articles in the journals. Therefore the present study was carried out by some of members of the editorial board in order to determine the quality and publication process of articles of the Journal of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences (JRUMS).
Materials and Methods: In this self-audit survey , the information of each published paper in the JRUMS through the years 2001-2006 using a checklist collected by two of the team members separately. Then the completed checklists were compared with one another, and in case of any inconsistencies, the issue was examined and settled down by another member of the team.
Results: Throughout the given period, 21 volumes of the JRUMS have been published which comprised of 189 articles in total. In about one third of the published articles i.e. 59 articles (31.2%), the first author had been from Rafsanjan University. In 90 articles (47.6%) the type of study had not been mentioned. The mean number of the words used in the texts, the Persian and English abstracts were varied to a great extent. Furthermore, the mean and standard deviation of the time of receiving an article till its publication had been 238.15+ 98.54 days.
Conclusion: Based on these results it can be concluded that:
1. The possibility of receiving papers from outside of the university should be increased with more invitations .
2. The report of the type of study, the number of the articles' words and the number of words used in Persian and English abstracts should be practiced accurately and in a more standard way by a close coordination among the writers, reviewers, and editors of the Journal.
3. More efforts should be put into practice to reduce the time span of receiving a paper until its publication.

Background and Objectives: The editorial peer review has an important role in the publication of scientific articles. Peers or reviewers are those scholars who have the expertise regarding the topic of a given article. They critically appraise the articles without having any monetary incentives or conflicts of interest. The aim of this study was to determine the most important aspects of the editorial peer review.
Materials and Methods: The Pubmed search engine (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) and the Scientific Information Database search engine (http://www.sid.ir/fa/index.asp) were applied using "Editorial Peer Review" as the keywords. In the next step, by altering the search strategy and also using the reference lists of the retrieved papers, the most up-to-date references for this review study were retrieved.
Discussion: Based on the retrieved articles, at first the definition and the different methods of the editorial peer review are discussed. Then the usual biases within the editorial peer review process are explained. At the end of the article, various responsibilities of the peers are referred to.
Conclusion: Reviewing the scientific articles is an ethical responsibility of the scientists, and should be considered by them as an honor rather than as an extra burden. When accepting a review, scientists should carry out the task based on the highest feasible standards. They should not only help the editor-in-chief to take the best possible decision about the article, but also assist the authors in raising the quality of their articles.

Received: 11/12/2010 Sent for Revision: 04/01/2011 Received Revised Manuscript: 08/03/2011 Accepted: 18/03/2011
Background and Objectives : Local journals also known as "small journals" are those published for fulfilling the scientific needs of certain communities. The present article is dealt with the problems of these journals and provides some suggestions on how to overcome their pitfalls.
Materials and Methods : The Pubmed search engine (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed) was explored using the following keywords of the titles of articles “small journals”, “local journals”, “small scientific journals” or “small medical journals”. This search strategy retrieved 8 papers. In the next step, and by searching the reference lists of the retrieved papers, the most relevant and up-to-date articles were selected for this review study.
Results and Discussion : Evidences suggested that the "small or local journals" have a number of pitfalls including being published usually in local languages which are not familiar to most people, dealing with general issues rather than specific fields , having low circulations, and confronting enormous difficulties in punctual publications. Nevertheless, by removing the above-mentioned obstacles, these journals can still play an important role either in knowledge dissemination and sharing experiences or improving the health levels in local communities.
Conclusion: Small journals could possibly be able to overcome their problems utilising the following strategies.
displaying a firm commitment to their responsibilities , precise planning, creating networks with other local or mainstream journals and seeking support from local, national and international scientists.
Keywords : Local journals, Small journals, Health domain, Problems
Funding : This study did not have any sources of funding.
Conflict of interest : The author is the editor-in-chief of the scientific Journal of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences.

Volume 11, Issue 5 (12-2012)
Background and Objectives: Given the vital role of scientific journals in dissemination of knowledge especially within the health domain, correctly managing them is very important. The aim of the present study was to determine the fate of rejected articles by Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences Journal (RUMSJ).
Material and Methods: In this follow up study, the fate of all rejected manuscripts during 2001 till 2007 was determined. In order to do that, three SID, Magiran, and IranMedex databases were searched using the titles and the names of the authors of each manuscript.
Findings: During the years of the investigation, 1030 articles were submitted to the journal and after primary review, in the end 512 (49.7%) of them were rejected. Out of these, 155 (30.3%) have been published in other related journals. The titles of 96 (61.9%) of published articles had slightly been changed. Twelve (7.7%) of these articles were published before submission to JRUMS.
Conclusion: Considerring the fact that over 70 percent of the manuscripts which were rejected by RUMSJ have not been published anywhere else, it could be concluded that this journal has functined reasonably well in the primary evaluation of the manuscripts.

Volume 12, Issue 2 (4-2013)
Background and Objectives: Final corrections on a manuscript sent for publication in a scientific journal are suggested by reviewers. So this qualifies the paper with the least errors for publication. The present study aimed to assess the Persian language peer reviewers' comments on a manuscript sent to an Iranian Scientific Journal (journal of Rafsanjan university of medical sciences), 2010.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive study, a manuscript which was sent to a scientific journal for publication was sent to 30 peer reviewers to obtain their comments. This approach was the routine method of the journal in peer reviewing the manuscripts. When peer reviewers' comments come back to the editorial office, a trained expert recorded the information on an anonymous checklist. The checklist included a list of nine items which were expected to be reported by peer reviewers as their comments. Data were analyzed using SPSS.
Results: Fourteen respondents (about 50%) sent their comments back in due date. Of these, five were affiliated with other universities and nine were affiliated to the journal university. Nine were female (64%) and 5 were males (%35/7). With one exception, peer reviewers inside the journal university were more successful than peer reviewers outside the journal university in distinguishing the other eight general items. No a peer reviewer reported all of the nine items. Among the nine items, "sample size" was reported by the highest proportion (64%) of peer reviewers.
Conclusion: Peer reviewing should be improved among peer reviewers of the scientific journal of this study and proper interventions should be conducted. More investigations are needed to cover more scientific journals and more peer reviewers.

مجلات یغماگر با دسترسی آزاد
Predatory Open Access Journals
M. Rezaeian
پیدایش و رشد «مجلات با دسترسی آزاد» (Open Access Journals) در سالیان اخیر، نویدبخش دوره جدیدی از چاپ و انتشار یافتههای نوین علمی بود. قرار بود که در این دوره جدید، نویسندگان یک مقاله علمی با پرداخت هزینههای چاپ، نتیجه آخرین مطالعات خود را با سرعت و صحت در اختیار سایر همکاران خود قرار دهند. قرار بود که انحصار چاپ و انتشار مقالات علمی از حیطه انحصار تعداد معدودی از انتشارات بزرگ درآید و همگان و در هر کجا بلافاصله پس از چاپ یک مقاله بتوانند به آن دسترسی آزاد داشته باشند [1].
باوجوداین، همزمان با رشد مجلات معتبر با دسترسی آزاد، «مجلات یغماگر با دسترسی آزاد» (Predatory Open Access Journals) هم با سرعت بسیار زیاد و بهصورت قارچمانند شروع به رشد و نمو کردند. این مجلات تنها به دنبال کسب درآمد هستند و ازهمینرو، با ارسال ایمیلهای گوناگون از نویسندگان درخواست مینمایند که مقالات خود را به آنها ارسال نمایند. در این ایمیلها، گردانندگان «مجلات یغماگر با دسترسی آزاد» با ارائه اطلاعات غلط، اقدام به قربانی نمودن نویسندگان مینمایند [2].
برای مثال اینگونه وانمود میشود که مقالات مجلات یغماگر در موتورهای جستجوی مهم بینالمللی نمایه میگردند؛ درحالیکه چنین امری اتفاق نمیافتد. و یا ضریب تأثیر (Impact Factor) جعلی برای این مجلات گزارش میگردد. معمولاً ممکن است که در ابتدا درباره ضرورت پرداخت هزینه چاپ هم چیزی به نویسندگان اعلام نگردد. بهمحض اینکه نویسندهای گول چنین تبلیغات غلطی را خورد و مقاله خود را به این مجلات ارسال نمود، در فاصله کمی و اغلب بدون انجام مرور همتایان سردبیری Peer Review) مقالهEditorial ) آماده چاپ میگردد. در همین زمان است که از نویسنده درخواست میگردد تا هزینه چاپ را پرداخت نماید. درصورتیکه نویسنده بخواهد از چاپ مقاله خود انصراف دهد آنوقت باید هزینه بررسی مقاله را پرداخت نماید [2].
چاپ مقاله در «مجلات یغماگر با دسترسی آزاد»، بههیچوجه شایسته دانشمندان نیست؛ چراکه آنها نتیجه زحمات خود را در مجلاتی به چاپ میرسانند که در هیچ موتور جستجوی مهمی نمایه نمیگردد و بنابراین، مورد استفاده و استناد سایر دانشمندان قرار نخواهد گرفت. از همین رو، ضروری است که با شناخت این مجلات از ارسال مقاله به آنها خودداری نمود [3].
خوشبختانه، جفری بیل (Jeffrey Beall) از دانشگاه کلرادو (University of Colorado) اقدام به طراحی وبسایتی با عنوان «دسترسی آزاد علمی» (Scholarly Open Access) نموده است. در این وبسایت با آدرس (http://Scholaryoa.com) وی اقدام به معرفی «مجلات یغماگر با دسترسی آزاد» کرده است. این وبسایت که دائماً بازنگری میشود، تا سال 2016 میلادی در حدود هزار «مجله یغماگر با دسترسی آزاد» را معرفی نموده است.
از آنجاییکه قربانیان اصلی «مجلات یغماگر با دسترسی آزاد» را بهویژه نویسندگان مبتدی از کشورهایی تشکیل میدهند که زبان آنها غیر از انگلیسی میباشد [4]، بنابراین، ضروری است که دانشمندان ایرانی با دقت و شناخت بیشتری نسبت به ارسال مقالات خود به مجلات معتبر همت گماشته و با انجام مطالعات بیشتر تلاش نمایند که قربانی «مجلات یغماگر با دسترسی آزاد» نگردند.

Background and Objective: In recent years by using advantages of web technologies and growing of academic journals, academic world is faced with new misconducts. Many researchers and scientists in all over the world tried to cover these misconducts and prevent them, but day by day we can see new academic misconducts. In this paper, we tried to introduce new academic misconducts entitled “paper crating”.
Materials and Methods: Based on the paper type, this paper used library studies and authors’ experience.
Results: some papers and previous studies discussed about data manipulating, but it seems that some issues such as plagiarism, ghostwriting, copycat writing and predatory journals are not familiar for most authors. So in this paper we wanted to increase awareness of authors about the mentioned issues to prevent possible misconducts. We defined each misconduct and presented an example for each to increase awareness of authors.
Conclusion: This paper increases awareness of researchers and help them to be more ethical than previous.

سخن سردبیر

به کدام مجله، مقاله خود را ارسال کنیم؟
To What Journal We Should Submit Our Manuscript?
محسن رضائیان[1]،[2]
یکی از سؤالات مهمی که محققین به هنگام نگارش مقاله خود با آن روبرو میشوند، این است که: " مقاله خود را به کدام مجله باید ارسال نمایند؟ [3-1]" برای پاسخگویی به این سؤال، بایستی نکات مهمی در نظر گرفته شوند که در این سخن سردبیری سعی میکنیم به برخی از آنها پاسخ دهیم. طبعاً برای پژوهشگران فارسی زبان، اولین نکته مهم این است که آنها مقاله خود را به چه زبانی نوشتهاند؟ اگر به فارسی، پس باید در مجلات فارسی به دنبال نشریه مناسب بگردند و اگر مقاله به زبان انگلیسی نگارش شده است، نشریات انگلیسی زبان را باید مورد جستجو قرار دهند.
نکته دومی که مطرح میشود این است که آیا آنها مایل هستند مقاله خود را در یک مجله تخصصی مربوط به رشته خود چاپ نمایند یا اینکه قصد دارند آن را در یک مجله عمومی به چاپ رسانند؟ بدیهی است چاپ مقاله در یک مجله تخصصی سبب خواهد شد که سایر همکاران با تخصص مشابه مقاله را مطالعه نمایند. انجام چنین کاری موجب میشود مقاله آنها بیشتر مورد مطالعه، استفاده و احیاناً استناد سایر همکاران قرار گیرد. در حالی که چاپ مقاله در یک مجله عمومی ممکن است به مطالعه و استناد آن توسط همکارانی که لزوماً هم تخصص آنها نیستند، بیانجامد.
نکته سوم این است که کیفیت کار پژوهشی که مقاله از آن استخراج شده است چگونه میباشد؟ بدیهی است هرچه کیفیت کار بالاتر باشد، چاپ مقاله در مجلات با کیفیت بالاتر ممکن میگردد. برای شناخت کیفیت مجلات معمولاً میتوان به محل نمایه شدن مجله (Indexing)، داشتن ضریب تأثیر (Impact factor) و مقدار آن، و همچنین مقدار اچ ایندکس (H Index) مجله اشاره کرد. بدیهی است مجلاتی که در نمایههای معتبر بینالمللی نظیر Medline Scopus, و یا Web of Science نمایه میگردند و دارای ضریب تأثیر و اچ ایندکس بالاتر میباشند از کیفیت بالاتری نیز برخوردار هستند. البته هرچه کیفیت مجلات بالاتر باشد، میزان رد کردن مقالات (Rejection rate) آنها نیز بالاتر است. برای برخی از مجلات این مقدار ممکن است به نود درصد برسد. یعنی از هر صد مقاله ارسالی، نود مقاله رد میشوند. بنابراین، چاپ مقالات در این مجلات کار بسیار دشواری خواهد بود اما موفقیت در این امر بسیار ارزشمند است.
حال با در نظر گرفتن مسائل فوق اگر محقق مقالهای به زبان انگلیسی تهیه کرده باشد، میتواند با جستجو در نمایههای معتبر بینالمللی پیش گفته، به نشریات تخصصی و یا عمومی مرتبط با موضوع مقاله خود دست یابد. برای اینکار باید، جستجوی خود را در صورت اسامی مجلات نمایه شده انجام دهد. سپس با مراجعه به خدمات جانبی ارائه شده توسط Web of Science به مقدار ضریب تأثیر و یا با مراجعه به خدمات جانبی ارائه شده توسط Scopus به اچ ایندکس مجلات پی ببرد.
محقق همچنین میتواند به وبگاه مجلات مشخصشده مراجعه نماید. در بررسی وبگاه این مجلات، علاوه بر مشخص شدن ضریب تأثیر و یا اچایندکس، به نکات ارزشمند دیگری نیز نظیر: میزان رد کردن مقالات، تعداد شمارههای منتشر شده در یکسال، تعداد مقالات منتشر شده در هر شماره و نکاتی از این قبیل دست خواهد یافت. برخی از مجلات معتبر حتی در سایت خود محلی برای نشان دادن مقالات پذیرفته شدهای که هنوز چاپ نشدهاند دارند و یا اطلاعاتی در زمینه طول زمان داوری، پذیرش و یا چاپ مقاله ارائه مینمایند. نویسندگان مقالات با بررسی این نکات میتوانند اطلاع کسب کنند که در صورت پذیرش، چقدر طول خواهد کشید که مقاله آنها به زیور طبع آراسته شود [6-4].
با همه اینها، راه حل ساده دیگری برای انتخاب مجله مناسب برای ارسال مقاله وجود دارد. این راه حل، بررسی منابع مقاله نگاشته شده میباشد. اگر محقق مروری بر متون کاملی انجام داده باشد و به مهمترین مقالات مرتبط با موضوع مقاله خود استناد کرده باشد، آن هنگام متوجه خواهد شد که در فهرست منابع مقاله، اسم کدام مجلات به چشم میخورد و احیاناً نام کدام مجلات تکرار شدهاند. این مجلات میتوانند به عنوان مجله مورد نظر برای ارسال مقاله قلمداد گردند. البته اگر کیفیت مقاله همانند یا بهتر از مقالاتی باشد که در آن مجله به چاپ رسیدهاند [3].
بنابراین، نویسنده می تواند با نگاه به منابع مقاله خود و با بررسی نمایههای معتبر بینالمللی و با در نظر گرفتن سؤالاتی که در سطور پیشین به آنها اشاره گردید، فهرستی از مجلات معتبر را تهیه نموده و آنها را بر اساس سیر نزولی ضریب تاًثیر و یا اچ ایندکس مرتب کند. سپس، میتواند از بهترین نشریه که همان مجله شماره یک در فهرست است شروع کند. ضروری است که محقق دستورالعمل مجله مورد نظر را به دقت مورد توجه قرار دهد تا فقط به خاطر عدم توجه به دستورالعمل نویسندگان، مقاله وی رد نگردد.
در صورتی که مقاله توسط نشریه مورد داوری قرار گرفته و نظرات داوران برای محقق ارسال گردد، ضروری است که وی با دقت تمام به نظرات داوران توجه کرده و تجدید نظر دقیقی در مقاله خود بر اساس نظر آنها به عمل آورد. همچنین، در صورتی که برخی از نظرات داوران قابل اعمال نمیباشد، ضروری است با نگارش نامهای این نکته را برای سردبیر و داوران توضیح دهد. در صورتی که پس از بازنگری، مقاله مورد پذیرش قرار گرفت، محقق به پاداش زحمات خود رسیده است. در غیر اینصورت، باید پس از رعایت دستورالعمل دومین مجله از فهرست تهیه شده، مقاله رد شده را به آن مجله ارسال نموده و منتظر پاسخ آنها بماند [7].
در صورتی که مقاله عاری از خطای متدولوژیک باشد، بالأخره در نشریه مناسب خود چاپ خواهد شد. با این وجود، بسیار ضروری است که در فرآیند پیداکردن مجله مناسب برای مقاله محقق، نهایت دقت را به عمل آورد تا گرفتار مجلات یغماگر با دسترسی آزاد [8] و یا مجلات ربوده شده نگردد [9].

Background and Objectives: Immunology is the science of prevention of entry and encounter with internal and external antigenes, with the aim of preserving the body's natural homeostasis. Due to the importance of immunology in prevention and treatment of diseases and concerning the multiplicity of published journals in this field, this study was performed to introduce the most prestigious specialized immunology journals for the first time for Persian language readers.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive study was conducted in 2018 at Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences. The list of immunology journals was extracted from the SCImago Journal & Country Rank (SJR) and Journal Citation Reports (JCR) WebSites. For this purpose, in the "Subject Area" of the SJR website “Immunology and Microbiology” words and in the "Subject Category" “Immunology” word and in the "Select Categories" of JCR website “Immunology” word were searched.
Results: The Journals’ list extracted from SJR and JCR contained 209 and 155 Immunology journals, respectively. Considering the high number of specialized journals in immunology, the journals containing the term of “immunology” in title were studied. The investigated information of the journals included journal’s name, country of presentation, publisher, subject of coverage, the most important indexes of the journal, date of publication of the journal, hirsch index, duration of publishing, and impact factor in 2018.
Conclusion: According to the entry of clinical basic field in immunology, a lot of journals published in this science and consequently, immunology journals are categorized in two clinical and basic groups. Despite the high number of immunology journals, most journals tend to publish research and specialized articles.

Background and Objectives: Clinical education in therapeutic settings is presented in different forms, one of which is journal club meetings. The aim of this study was to investigate the satisfaction of medical students in the clinical department of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences from the educational activity of the Club Journal.
Materials and Methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted in Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences in 2021. 157 medical students of three internships participated in the study by census. Data were collected using a researcher made questionnaire and were analyzed using independent t-test and one-way analysis of variance.
Results: The mean score of students' satisfaction with the Journal Club sessions was relatively good in both male and female groups, as well as by type of ward and grade, but none of them had a significant relationship with satisfaction (p>0.05). Satisfaction with regular meetings was significantly higher than irregular meetings (p<0.001), and satisfaction in absentee meetings was more than face-to-face meetings (p=0.027). The results also showed that there was a relative satisfaction with the way the sessions are held, but there was no satisfaction with the level of participation of students, especially trainees.
Conclusion: Students of Rafsanjan University of Medical Sciences were relatively satisfied with the meetings of the Journal Club. The highest level of satisfaction was related to the place, time, number of participants, order of meetings, level of articles, and the highest level of satisfaction was related to the level of students' participation in the topics, especially during the internship. It is suggested that special sessions be held for interns and trainees and the scientific level of the content be selected in accordance with each level with the participation of students.

The authorities of reputable scientific journals always welcome the pathology of these journals, but unfortunately, this is uncommon in the scientific community of Iran. Providing scientific articles in the Persian language is a requirement of the country's scientific development, and its prerequisite is the existence of quality Persian-language scientific journals. Despite the abundance of Persian language journals in various disciplines, many Iranian researchers prefer to publish their articles in international journals because of some problems with some Persian journals. Most of these problems are related to how the journal interacts with the researcher, the software bugs of the journals' websites, the low quality of the final version of the articles, and their non-indexing in reliable scientific databases. It is expected that the supervisors of scientific journals try to solve these problems by diagnosing and providing expert solutions, including surveys by Iranian researchers. However, the high quality of some Persian language journals and their professional ethics should not be ignored.
