Lankarani KB, Haghdoost A, Smith P. Embargo on publication of scientific papers by Iranian authors. The Lancet 2012;380(9842)648 649
Since the Islamic revolution in 1979 scientists from Iranian institutions have published joint papers with scientists from 107 other countries, mostly from the USA and UK, and have experienced a rapid increase in the publication of scientific papers in indexed journals. Recently few academic publishers have embargoed scientific publications from Iran, not in accordance with scientific publication ethics.
