What انتشارات جهاد دانشگاهی قزوین does

Jahad Daneshgahi Publishing of Qazvin (انتشارات جهاد دانشگاهی قزوین) is a branch of the national, quasi-governmental Jahad Daneshgahi Publishing Organization, established in 1391 (2012-2013) under Article 13 of the parent organization's charter to publish academic, educational, and specialized university books. The publisher operates from a single headquarters in Qazvin, Iran, with a headcount of 9 employees, and produces books across architecture, urban planning, engineering, medicine, humanities, and agricultural sciences. It has issued an estimated 186 to 300+ titles since founding, with annual output peaking at 46 volumes in 1397 (2018) and contracting to 8 volumes in 1400 (2021).

The core offering is a full-service book production pipeline covering manuscript evaluation, peer review, editing, layout, cover design, and printing, sold to authors on a fixed-fee basis: 17-22 million IRR per project depending on branch (general university press, Farsi Zaban-e Elm, or Charagh-e Motaaleh). Page layout, cover design, and editing services are also priced à la carte (65,000-80,000 IRR per page for layout, 7,000,000 IRR per cover, 40,000-45,000 IRR per page for editing). Books carry university-level academic credit under the Iranian faculty promotion system, and a dedicated sub-brand, the Farsi Zaban-e Elm (Persian Language Science) Secretariat, confers a more prestigious specialized credit mark and awards outstanding graduate theses.

The business model is dual-revenue: (1) one-time publishing service fees paid by authors, and (2) finished-book retail sales through a proprietary e-commerce storefront at shop.isba.ir, supplemented by listing on Ketab.ir and 16book.ir. Distribution is single-country (Iran), with no global footprint claimed. Marketing relies on organic website traffic, email outreach ([email protected]), and institutional partner visibility rather than paid channels. There are no disclosed funding rounds, no M&A activity, no AI or technology platforms, and no patents or external certifications.
