3. Types of accepted articles

The following types of articles are reviewed and accepted in this journal:

  1. Research article: Research articles are the result of the author's own research and investigation. The researcher presents the findings and results of his experiments in the form of an article. In a research article, we address topics that have not been previously researched and that have in fact been an unanswered question. Researchers and scholars are more receptive to these types of articles.
  2. Review article: As the name suggests, review articles and research on a specific topic and ultimately provide a summary of the topic. The researcher's goal in reviewing topics and publishing a review article is to analyze research, existing differences, and problems that have hindered the advancement of the topic.
  3. Analytical essay: An analytical essay is one in which the author presents his or her theory with the help of previous research sources. In this type of scientific essay, the researcher can expand on previous theories with strong arguments; or, in other words, explain and elaborate on them. In an analytical essay, one can even contemplate and reflect on theories that already exist.

6. Important Notes

  • The article file should be uploaded in doc or docx format without the authors' names.
  • The review of articles in this quarterly is done anonymously, therefore, it is necessary to upload the authors' details in Persian and English (including the authors' first and last names, respectively, with the authors' academic rank and organization in the footnote of the page) in a separate file. The address (postal address and zip code), telephone number, and e-mail address of the corresponding author should be specified in the details file.
  • The authors' names should not be included in the main article file name or the file responding to the reviewers.
  • In order to expedite the review process of the articles, respected authors can also specify their proposed reviewers when submitting the article. These proposed reviewers must be professors outside the university where the authors teach or study. Note: It is mandatory to introduce at least one proposed reviewer when submitting the article.
  • Respected authors have the option of choosing a short title for their article when submitting the article. Please choose this short title carefully because this title will be included at the top of your article (due to space limitations, article titles are not included in full at the top of the pages).
  • When writing articles, use sources that have DOI and write this identifier at the end of each of your sources when referencing. This will greatly help increase the credibility of your article and also facilitate its acceptance.
  • Given that the Quarterly Journal of Modern Studies in Management and Organization plans to be indexed in international databases in the future, the detailed abstract will be received in English and all sources (even Persian sources) must be included in English in published articles. Therefore, when searching for sources to write your article, please refer to the English source page on the Persian Journals website and receive the article title and author details in English.
  • Given that the Journal of Modern Studies in Management and Organization intends to be indexed in international databases in the future, all authors are requested to include their ORCID ID in their personal information section (Note: If the article is accepted, the ORCID ID of all authors must be sent. Otherwise, the article will not be published). Download the guide to joining the ORCID site and obtaining an ORCID ID from here.
