The main objective of knowledge retrieval and semantic systems is to provide an intellectual platform for national and international researchers to discuss their most recent findings related to knowledge retrieval and semantic systems. By doing so, the journal hopes to improve the status of the field in Iran and in the world and to find solutions to theoretical and practical problems the profession is faced with. To serve this purpose, researchers are encouraged to submit their unpublished, original, full-length papers for potential publication in the journal. 

The journal is set to publish original articles on a wide range of issues including;

  • Intelligent Systems Recovery
  • Natural Language Processing
  • Text Analysis and Knowledge Mining
  • Information Storage and Retrieval
  • Evaluation of Information and Knowledge Retrieval Systems
  • Interactive Retrieval
  • Information and Knowledge Management
  • Information Structure
  • Intelligent Recovery Systems
  • Semantic Systems
  • Knowledge Management Systems and Technologies
  • Information and Knowledge Theories
  • Semantic Web and Ontology
  • Semantic Networks
  • Information and Knowledge Economics
  • Knowledge Management

To let individual researchers and libraries have access to the most recent research findings in the field, the journal allows open-access to its articles. This journal utilizes the Magiran and Noormags preservation systems to create a distributed archiving system for individual and libraries and to permit libraries stakeholders to create permanent archives of the journal.
