Abstract

The “Iranian Journal of Materials Forming (IJMF)” has been in existence for twelve years and is now in its thirteenth year, with the first issue of the 13th already published. This is an international open access journal in the fields of materials deformation and forming processes, which was established at Shiraz University in 2014. The journal welcomes submission from scientists and engineers in both academic and industrial sectors, covering all manufacturing processes. Additionally, the journal addresses various forms of material deformation, including elastic and plastic behaviors, as well as deformations caused by failure. The journal’s quality and credibility are upheld by a distinguished editorial board, featuring some of the world’s most renowned professors. Furthermore, the diverse group of referees selected for the journal underscores its scientific rigor. Here we are proud to announce that, for the sixth consecutive year, the journal has been successfully published quarterly, with the first issue of 2026 having been released. The strong attention and interest from researchers in IJMF enabled this issue to be published ahead of schedule, even before the start of 2026. We hope that by maintaining this momentum, the journal will continue to publish on time well into the future.
