Zabol University's brilliance in the field of international scientific publishing; Editorship of the newly indexed journal Web of Science by a full professor at Zabol University

The Journal of Insect Biodiversity and Systematics, published by Tarbiat Modares University, has been officially indexed in the prestigious Web of Science after years of scientific efforts and quality improvement. The entry of this journal into one of the most important and influential citation databases in the world is a decisive step towards achieving an Impact Factor and establishing its position at the international level.

The importance of this success for Zabol University becomes even more prominent when we know that the editor of this journal since 1400 has been Dr. Ehsan Rakhshani, a full professor at Zabol University; a researcher who, with his precise scientific perspective, professional editorial management, and strict refereeing processes, has played a fundamental role in enhancing the credibility and standards of this journal. The presence of a faculty member of Zabol University at the head of the editorial structure of an international journal indexed in WOS is a clear sign of the scientific capabilities of Zabol University on a global scale.

This journal operates as a Full Open Access journal, publishing research articles in the field of biodiversity and systematics of insects and other arthropods, and does not charge authors any fees for submitting, reviewing, or publishing articles. Membership in the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and the use of advanced similarity detection systems are other professional characteristics of this journal.

In addition to Web of Science, this journal is indexed in other important databases such as Scopus, DOAJ, CAB Abstracts, Zoobank, AGRIS, EBSCO, and a series of national and international scientific databases; a position that is the result of extensive scientific efforts and coherent editorial management.

This valuable achievement is the result of the cooperation and support of Dr. Ehsan Rakhshani (Professor at Zabol University and Editor-in-Chief of the Journal), Dr. Ali Asghar Talebi (Associate Professor at Tarbiat Modares University and former Editor-in-Chief), members of the editorial board, referees and researchers in the field of entomology, along with the support of the Ministry of Science, Tarbiat Modares University and the Iranian Entomological Society.

Zabol University Public Relations, while sincerely congratulating the scientific community of the country on this success, considers the role of its full professor in the editorial of this prestigious journal an honor for the university and an indication of the growing scientific position of Zabol University in the international arena.
