The Journal of Iran National Museum is a peer-reviewed, open-access, biannual publication dedicated to advancing scholarly research in archaeology, cultural heritage, and museum studies. The journal publishes original articles in both Persian and English, providing a forum for researchers, conservators, and museologists to disseminate their findings to an international audience.
The journal gives priority to articles that present the results of original research conducted on museum collections, including archaeological objects, artworks, and historical artifacts housed in museums across Iran. By highlighting collection-based studies, the journal aims to deepen the understanding and interpretation of Iran's rich cultural heritage.
In addition to collection-based research, the Journal of Iran National Museum welcomes submissions from a broad range of disciplines, including:
Archaeology: Fieldwork reports, analytical studies, and theoretical discussions related to the archaeology of Iran and neighboring regions.
Museology (Museum Studies): Research on museum management, curation, exhibition design, audience development, and the social role of museums.
Conservation and Restoration: Studies on the preservation, conservation treatments, and material analysis of cultural objects.
Archaeometry and Scientific Analysis: Application of natural sciences (e.g., chemistry, physics, geology) to the study of archaeological materials and artifacts.
The journal encourages interdisciplinary approaches and seeks to bridge the gap between field archaeology, museum practice, and laboratory sciences. Through the publication of high-quality research, the Journal of Iran National Museum aspires to contribute to the preservation, interpretation, and promotion of Iran's cultural heritage.
