During 1976-1985 the number of journals decreased because of social circumstances after the Islamic Revolution, imposed war and the years after the war. During the years 1986-2016 the number of published magazines increased greatly thanks to new technologies and ease of online publishing due to the technical development and possibility of using academic institutions facilities and public budget and because of the importance of publishing scientific results for researchers, it is necessary to pay special attention to make websites for all journals.
