The Journal of the Islamic Academy of Sciences, which first appeared in August 1988, is a quality publication comparable to international scientific journals. Through the dedication of a small group of Academy Fellows headed by Prof. Naci Bor, the Editor in Chief of the Journal, the Journal has made since then, a good record of quality and periodicity and has been granted an ISS number (ISSN 1016-3360).
The Academy
Journal which is published in Turkey and distributed internationally, was launched with the help of the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS).
The Journal is presently financially supported by Kuwait Foundation for advancement of Sciences (KFAS), Organization of Islamic Conference Scientific and Technological Cooperation (COMSTECH) and the Islamic World Academy of Sciences.
For the first ten years of its existence, the
Journal was a broad-based scientific publication on average carrying general scientific articles.
The
Journal has in 1998 been re-launched as a specialised medical Journal thus becoming the Medical Journal of the Islamic Academy of Sciences.
