Developments and long-term prospects for progress, as well as security and development in Central Eurasia, require detailed and in-depth studies of the region. The importance of studying this particular region, which emerged after the collapse of the Soviet Union, lies in the fact that the Islamic Republic of Iran shares a significant geographical border with these countries. In order to achieve a comprehensive perspective, the journal of “Central Eurasia Studies” (JCEP) was first published in 2007. The journal decided to cover a variety of topics. The journal began receiving articles from various sources, including scientific and research centers, libraries, archives, documentation centers and prominent researchers. It should be noted that the journal of "Central Eurasia Studies" is the only specialized academic journal in the field of Eurasian studies, whose scientific-research privilege was confirmed after review by the Commission for Planning and Promoting Scientific Publications of the University of Tehran on 12/15/2011. The journal also received scientific-research accreditation from the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology on 2/27/2012. The journal of JCEP has been published regularly every six months since its first publication. The journal of JCEP is an open access journal and the electronic version of the published articles is publicly available on the journal’s website.
The journal uses a two-way peer review process to ensure complete anonymity and impartiality of authors and reviewers during the evaluation process. Each submission undergoes initial structural and thematic screening before being evaluated by at least three expert reviewers selected by the jury based on their specific expertise. Adhering to the highest standards of publishing integrity, the journal follows the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE https://publicationethics.org) and strictly complies with executive regulations related to the prevention of misconduct in scientific works.
