Overall Stages toward Development of the Islamic World Science
Citation Center (ISC)
Parallel with the policies of the Ministry of Science, Research and
Technology and Supreme Council of the Cultural Revolution, the Islamic
World Science citation Center (ISC) instantly initiated programs to
perform its functional activities. Ever since, ISC has been developing
during several stages:

and products since 1999.
      2.Input and processing of accredited Arabic journals of the
Islamic countries in various ISC system products since 2005.

journals in Iran and other Islamic countries and presentation of the
results to the scientific communities since 2005.
      4.In the final stage, ISC is planning to deal with Turkish,
Indonesian, Malaysian, French, and other scientific languages.
Preliminary activities have been done and programs will be gradually
completed along with the development of ISC organization. ISC surveyed
the distribution of scientific journals in the Muslim world and
selected, as the first step, 1352 accredited journals for indexing
based on Citation Index Regulations for Accredited Publications.
