Results of scientific research are diffused by scientific
journals therefore these journals have a significant role in
development of scientific disciplines and are considered as a

of these journals is a base for planning of academic disciplines
promotion. This research was conducted to investigate the quantity
of agriculture and natural resources journals in Iran, their indexing
status in various databases, and ranking disciplines and publishers
of these journals by applying a descriptive – comparative research
methodology. Finally, based on the research findings, some
applicable recommendations for upgrading the national scientifi
journals as well as in agriculture and natural resources fields have been presented in this paper.
