The Entrance of " Bad-writing" Custom into Knowledge and Information Science Writings: an Overview of Editing Problems in the Articles of Current Journals

Introduction and Correct-writing is the common principle of writing in a language. Correct-writing, especially in scientific writings is a necessity and results in text fluency and perspicacity. This study aimed to critically overview the editing problems in the articles published in the current Knowledge and Information Science Persian Journals. 89 articles published in the last published issue of 11 journals of the field were undergone content analysis and studied from editing viewpoint in three editing types (including that of technical, structural-lingual, and professional) in the summer and autumn of 2013. There are enormous deficiencies in this context and prevalence of “bad-writing custom” into the writings in each of the three editing types. Applicable education of Persian in academic studies, authors’ accuracy in writing and the deep care of reviewers and editors are needed for relatively removing these deficiencies.
