A Leap Forward - From the Chief Editor’s Desk

It is a matter of great pleasure and exultation that our journal, “Archives of Neuroscience” could take significant strides ahead after the spring issue was published. It is a spectacular and substantive achievement that the journal bagged itself the prestigious recognition as a journal of education and research colloquially coined as “Elmi Pajouhishi” (approved as a Scientific-Research Journal by the Ministry of Health and Medical Education, IR Iran) soon after the first issue was launched and displayed before the readership, an achievement seldom if ever attained by local journals published inside the country in such a short span of time. This reflects the unremitting zeal and enthusiasm of the teams assigned the various roles ranging from the time a manuscript is received till it is finally reviewed with intellectual scrutiny and passed on to the publishers. Having earned itself this coveted recognition, researchers inside the country can now claim the research credits for their published works in the journal and acquire academic promotion.
