History and profile
Founded in 1963, Daneshmand was published by Novin Daneshmand organization, a subsidiary of Reed Elsevier. Ali Akbar Ghazvini served as the editor-in-chief of the magazine. Following the Islamic revolution in Iran in 1979 the magazine was closed. In 1984 it was restarted under the ownership of the Mostazafen Foundation of Islamic Revolution.
Daneshmand is published on a monthly basis. It has its headquarters in Tehran. As well as covering current events and news from the scientific community, the magazine often features speculative articles, ranging from the technical to the philosophical. It is not a peer-reviewed scientific journal, but it is read by both scientists and non-scientists, as a way of keeping track of developments outside their own fields of study or areas of interest.
