Abstract

Background: Review of a journal article not only is a scientific action but also is an ethical behavior. Referees by accepting, rejecting or suggesting modifications to manuscripts, have a key role in reviewing process if SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS.This article focuses on the behavior of referees and norms of reviewing as subjects of research. So, we examine common norms related to reviewing process of articles, including recourses and criteria for referee selection, and responsibilities of referees as well as common defects and shortcomings of the reviewing reports of Iranian SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS.Methods: The research has followed a descriptive approach to investigate different aspects of reviewing process of Iranian SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS. According to its assumptions about the main variables in the situation of inquiry, it is an exploratory research. As a matter of analyses, it has followed quantitative survey method. We used a closed form questionnaire for data gathering from 245 Iranian SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS published under authority of Ministry of Science, Research, and Technology.Results: Findings of this research show that Iranian SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS use "editorial board" and "existing list of referees of journal" to select their referees more than other resources."Being well-known at subject scope of journal", "having a good back-log of quality review reports ", and "having experience as referee for SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS" are three most important criteria for selecting referees. According to our findings, the performance of young referees in "having order and punctuality", "being careful when reviewing manuscripts" and "giving useful comments for improving articles" are better than older referees.Conclusion: Iranian SCIENTIFIC JOURNALS would rather to use internal referees than external referees. Finally, we found that the most important deficiency in the behavior of Iranian referees is that they are reluctant in doing their job and its takes a long time to receive a referee report.
