About the Journal

In 1983, the Plan and Budget Organization began publishing a monthly journal called "An excerpt of economic-social issues" with the aim of reflecting the world's economic and social transformations. It was published continuously till 1996 (volumes 1-155). The content of this monthly journal included papers which were prepared by researchers both within the Plan and Budget Organization and other institutes. Most of the papers were of a theory-based nature and since valuable papers were published in this journal, it was soon recognized as an acclaimed professional journal among researchers, professors and students. After 14 years of publication, the journal was revised and changes were applied to its form and content and the name changed to "Plan and Budget". The scientific publications office of the Management and Planning Organization became responsible for its publication. In the beginning, its publication frequency was monthly (1-72 till 2001) and then it was published bi-monthly (73-104 till 2007). In 2002, with the significant improvement of the journal's content quality, the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology granted a scientific-review ranking and this continued till 2010. In 2009, the IRI President's Planning and Strategic Supervision Deputy granted the publication permit to the Institute for Management and Planning Studies and again because of its quality improvement, its ranking changed to scientific-research and from issue 112 (spring 2011) the journal is being published as "Planning and Budgeting".
The Journal of Planning and Budgeting is accredited as Research-based according to the letter No. 159109 of the Ministry of Science, Research and Technology, dated November 07, 2011. Publication in this journal is accounted for the promotion of faculty members.
