Researchers wishing to publish their academic articles in the Iranian Journal of Seed Science and Technology (IJSST) should pay attention to the following points to facilitate a faster and smoother peer-review and publication process. Articles that do not adhere to these guidelines will not be reviewed and will be returned to the author for corrections to form and structure only once:

Articles can only be submitted through the website of the Iranian Journal of Seed Science and Technology. The journal does not accept submissions made manually or via email. The website address is: https://ijsst.areeo.ac.ir.

Articles submitted to this journal for review and publication must not have been previously published in other domestic or international journals, nor should they be under simultaneous peer-review by other journals.

The corresponding author must obtain a certificate of plagiarism detection for the article from the Irandoc plagiarism check system at https://tik.irandoc.ac.ir and upload it when submitting the article (the maximum acceptable similarity for the publication is 20 percent).

Completing and submitting the commitment letter and non-conflict of interest forms is mandatory (these forms can be found in the forms section of the journal).

The corresponding author is responsible for the accuracy of the article. The journal reserves the right to accept, reject, or edit the article, and the corresponding author must cooperate in resolving any issues that may arise until the article is published.

The order of the authors' names is determined by the sequence in which their information is entered on the journal's website. The corresponding author must ensure that all authors' names are entered correctly and completely.

It is essential that the order of the authors' names on the journal's website matches the authors' profile file uploaded during the article submission.

The approved citation method for articles in the Iranian Journal of Seed Science and Technology (starting from Issue 33, Spring 2024) is based on APA Style, 7th edition.

To expedite the peer-review process, authors must fully comply with the guidelines outlined in the article setting guide and prepare their submissions according to the journal format. For details on the journal format, please read the article setting guide.

Upon acceptance, the article will be listed as “Articles in press.”

If the authors wish to withdraw their article from the peer review process, the corresponding author must submit a withdrawal request through the journal's website. Additionally, an official withdrawal letter, signed by all authors, should be sent as a PDF file to the journal’s email.

The corresponding author’s email should be an institutional email.

All authors and reviewers must also enter their ORCID code when registering on the journal's website. If you don't have this code, please see the guide to get the ORCID code.
