Abstract

The rate of original paper in our journal was 52.8 percent during first ten year period (1991-2000). Seventy two percent of inner papers were sent to outer reviewers. It shows that we undertake objective scientific control. The rate of submitted papers from outside institutions was decreased from 71.5 percent to 33.3 percent during the same period. The production of scientific writing was decreased (the number of papers decreased 48 percent, and the number of pages 29 percent) as well.. These changes were the main reason of high rate of issuance delay (79 percent of issues had a m ean of 7 months delay)
