Founded in 2003, Iranian Rehabilitation Journal is the leading Iranian journal covering a broad spectrum of topics in rehabilitation and social welfare. The journal is owned by the "University of Social Welfare and Rehabilitation Sciences" in Tehran, Iran. IRJ provides an international, open-access forum for the publication of double-blind, peer-reviewed papers that present interesting and timely knowledge at the intersection of clinical and basic research. 

Papers that answer longstanding questions, open new avenues of research, report unexpected findings, or change the way we think about rehabilitation and social welfare will be a priority for publication.

Materials are accepted in English only.

Online First Publishing Policy

Iranian Rehabilitation Journal follows a quarterly publication schedule. To facilitate rapid dissemination of scientific findings, the journal may publish accepted articles online before assigning them to a regular journal issue, after completing peer review, editorial decision-making, and production.

Articles published as Online First have completed the journal’s standard peer-review and editorial evaluation processes and represent officially published scholarly content. These articles receive a Digital Object Identifier (DOI) registered through Crossref and can be cited using their DOI before assignment to a specific volume and issue.

After inclusion in a regular journal issue, the article receives its final bibliographic information, including volume, issue, and page/article number. The DOI remains unchanged and continues to serve as the permanent identifier of the published article.

Throughout the journal’s publication history, different DOI structures have been used according to the journal’s publication workflow. Earlier articles were assigned DOIs based on volume and issue information, whereas articles published through the Online First workflow receive DOIs based on the publication year and article identifier. Both DOI structures are valid, permanent identifiers registered with Crossref.
