The variables in the study were divided into three main groups: publication cha-</span> <span style="LETTER-SPACING: 0.05pt">racteristics of the journals, distinctiveness of journals’ license holders and personnel, and finally </span>specificities of journals’ contents. <b><p></p></b></p><p class="a" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0cm LINE-HEIGHT: 16pt mso-line-height-rule: exactly"><b>Findings:</b> 23 out of 800 evaluated journals met the inclusionary criteria for this project.

None of these periodicals are indexed in any of the credible information banks. Nine journals </span><span style="LETTER-SPACING: -0.2pt">did not have International Standard Serial Number (ISSN) and five journals had no English abstracts.</span> <span style="LETTER-SPACING: 0.1pt">Eleven journals were published by universities five were published by governmental organiza-</span><span style="LETTER-SPACING: -0.15pt">tions and seven were funded by private organizations or scientific societies.

The average number of articles binded in </span>each issue was 2.70(<span style="FONT-FAMILY: Symbol mso-ascii-font-family: 'Times New Roman' mso-hansi-font-family: 'Times New Roman' mso-char-type: symbol mso-symbol-font-family: Symbol"><span style="mso-char-type: symbol mso-symbol-font-family: Symbol"><font face="Symbol">±</font></span></span>1.2).The average number of articles in journals with official academic rank- ing certificate was higher than the journals without the certificate. </p><p class="a" style="MARGIN-TOP: 0cm LINE-HEIGHT: 16pt mso-line-height-rule: exactly"><b><span style="LETTER-SPACING: 0.1pt">Results:</span></b><span style="LETTER-SPACING: 0.1pt"> There seems to be a relatively adequate number and variety of scientific mental health </span>journals in the country,but too few articles are printed in them. For further progress in the upcom- ing years, the followings are suggested: quality improvement of the journals, more publication of <span style="LETTER-SPACING: -0.25pt">indigenous research articles, publication of domestic periodicals in English, and indexing them on cre- </span>dible international information banks.</p>
