Journals in Iranian Studies

3. Indo-Iranian Journal

Website || Institution || All Volumes

The Indo-Iranian Journal was founded by a group of Indologists in Leiden in 1957, though the idea has existed since 1952. Jan Willem de Jong and Franciscus Bernardus Jacobus Kuiper started publishing the journal to facilitate the publication of articles related to Indian studies, though its scope also included Iranian studies. As a rule, the published articles focus on Indo-Iranian linguistics and philology, and various studies dedicated to the study of the language and literature of Sanskrit and Avestan appear very frequently. Archaeological and historical studies are not published as a rule.

Papers on Indian studies dominate, though Iran's student will find here much that will be useful for him, especially in connection with Ancient Iranian linguistics.

4. Iran

The Iran Journal is the British Institute of Persian Studies (BIPS) journal founded in 1961 in London, UK. It has been published since 1963 and is one of the major peer-reviewed scholarly journals specializing in Iranian studies since then. The establishment of BIPS followed Queen Elizabeth II's official visit to Iran in 1961 in Tehran, where it became one of the Iranian studies' major centers. Its main focus has been directed towards archaeological studies of historical importance sites in Iran, and thus many articles published in Iran have reflected this tendency. Nevertheless, the editors have made sure that articles published in their journal will encompass the research also from other fields.

The editor's list included Laurence Lockhart, Georgina Herrmann, C. Edmund Bosworth, and Vesta Sarkhosh Curtis.
