In response to the rapid expansion of scientific knowledge and the growing need for disseminating new research findings, as well as creating an appropriate platform for sharing expertise and experiences, the Iranian Association of Orthodontists has undertaken the initiative of regularly publishing the Iranian Journal of Orthodontics.
The Iranian Journal of Orthodontics is a peer-reviewed, open access journal with a continuous publication model, dedicated to providing a reliable and up-to-date source of information for clinicians, researchers, and scholars in the field of orthodontics. By offering unrestricted access to its content, the journal aims to promote the global exchange of knowledge, facilitate collaboration, and support the advancement of orthodontic science.
The journal accepts a wide range of article types, including original research, systematic reviews, clinical case reports, and technical notes, all of which undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure high scientific quality and credibility. Through this approach, the journal strives to serve as a trusted reference for evidence-based clinical practice and innovative research in orthodontics.
The Iranian Journal of Orthodontics is indexed in multiple reputable databases and platforms, including Index Copernicus, DOAJ, Google Scholar, WHO EMRO, ICMJE, ROAD, WorldCat, SID, ISC, and Civilica, ensuring wide visibility and accessibility of published content to the global scientific community.
By fostering the dissemination of high-quality research and providing an open, supportive platform for scholarly communication, the Iranian Journal of Orthodontics plays a key role in advancing orthodontic knowledge, improving clinical practices, and contributing to the growth of the scientific community both in Iran and internationally.
