From 2020 onward, the journal moves forward with the new publisher (Some of the weak points of the former publisher are detailed in bottom of page).
International Aquatic Research (IAR) is an international journal that publishes original research articles, short communications, and review articles in a broad range of areas relevant to all aspects of aquatic sciences (freshwater and marine). The Journal specifically strives to increase the knowledge of most aspects of applied researches in both cultivated and wild aquatic animals in the world. The journal is fully sponsored, which means it is free of charge for authors. The journal operates a single-blind peer review process.
The main research areas in aquatic sciences include:

January 15, 2020:
For all respected authors and readers that might be inquiring the journal (in spite of its good scientific bases and metrics) not being indexed in JCR yet to have an IF, the reasons in details are as follows:
IAR was launched in late 2009, received the indexing in Scopus (2011) and ISI (Zoological Records, early 2012). A huge mistake to come to agreement with the publisher (Springer) from very first beginning (2012) to publish IAR caused that IAR had just 14 papers published (https://link.springer.com/journal/40071/5/1) instead of 19 papers accepted in 2013. In fact, Springer's stream became ceased in 3-4 months approaching to end of 2013, by changing in its internal platform of publishing from BiomedCentral to regular basis, brought about such tremendous damages to the journal's promotion. In our communication with ISI they confirmed that what it came down to this failure to lose the JCR (getting IF) yet was exactly what happened there (the minimum number of publication (14) in spite of having more available accepted ones (19)). However the journal had the acceptance rate of 11% in 2013, the journal had not sacrificed its quality for achieving the quantification.
The journal absolutely believes that if it had not been published with Springer, it would have gotten the IF years earlier. Because in publishing with any external publisher, the journal's control is normally limited up to acceptance stage of an individual paper, afterward it will be gone to production department that is inaccessible from the journal per se.
In overall, not taking the responsibility of mismanagements, a distinct weakness in necessary communications to get the other indexing databases in time, not having a simple-based linguistic check and improvement of English over the accepted papers, and a lot more, are the major weak points of such publisher, that this journal recommends others to rather publish with their own regular publishing service to avoid such great inconvenience accordingly.
Hence, nowadays the international publishers must be more aware of their actions are being done to real criticisms might be then deserved by readers, authors, and journal's team. Relying on just quantification development (adding the new journals) with a complete lack of technical and scientific bases (qualifications), urges any journal to escaping from being published with such international publishers in practice in future. Needless to say, it is not an honor for a publisher advertising that is running about 3000 journals at the moment, perhaps in a wiser approach, handling up 300 stronger ones better serves its real reputation in effect, as well as being less hurtful to "science" too. Their alienation from "real science" rooted in their intrinsically preferences in business prosperity rather than scientific perspectives.
