The articles and research reports presented in the scientific journals are selected without a proper critical appraisal in many cases. This is a major problem, as it leads to the opinions of the experts being neglected in many of these scientific journals. A descriptive study was done in fall and winter of 2016.
Journals were identified searching the electronic databases, including PubMed, Medline, Scopus, Google Scholar, and national Persian databases of SID and Magiran. All the articles on addiction published in the time span of 2010-2015 in 8 psychiatry, psychology, and addiction journals were included in this study. The journals included Journal of Behavioral Sciences, Iranian Journal of Psychiatry and Clinical Psychology, Journal of Fundamentals of Mental Health, and Journal of Research on Addiction in Persian, and Health and Addiction Journal, International Journal of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Journal of Research in Behavioral Sciences, and International Journal of Psychological Studies in English. These journals were evaluated according to their research design and methodology, scientific writing style, and the validity of the references. For all of the 264 articles, the research design and references were thoroughly evaluated.
The most frequent problems were seen in the introduction section, the sampling method of study, the exclusive criteria, analysis, and the limitations of the study.
Major deficiencies in the articles on addiction in Iranian journals were seen. It can be prevented by including important items in the checklists published by some of the journals for reviewers.
在许多情况下，科学期刊上发表的文章和研究报告未经适当的批判性评估就被选中。这是一个主要问题，因为在许多此类科学期刊中，专家的意见被忽视了。2016年秋冬进行了一项描述性研究。
通过搜索电子数据库来识别期刊，这些数据库包括PubMed、Medline、Scopus、谷歌学术以及伊朗的国家波斯语数据库SID和Magiran。本研究纳入了2010年至2015年期间在8种精神病学、心理学和成瘾领域期刊上发表的所有关于成瘾的文章。这些期刊包括《行为科学杂志》、《伊朗精神病学与临床心理学杂志》、《心理健康基础杂志》以及波斯语的《成瘾研究杂志》，还有《健康与成瘾杂志》、《国际精神病学与行为科学杂志》、《行为科学研究杂志》以及英语的《国际心理学研究杂志》。根据这些期刊的研究设计和方法、科学写作风格以及参考文献的有效性对其进行评估。对所有264篇文章的研究设计和参考文献进行了全面评估。
最常见的问题出现在引言部分、研究的抽样方法、排除标准、分析以及研究的局限性方面。
伊朗期刊上关于成瘾的文章存在重大缺陷。通过在一些期刊为审稿人发布的清单中纳入重要项目，可以预防这种情况。
