Kowsar is an STM publishing company which was founded in 2002 by S.M. Miri and Seyed-Moayed Alavian. Kowsar journals have been peer reviewed and are published open access under a Creative Commons Attribution License Non Commercial 4.0.[2] The company is a member of the Committee on Publication Ethics.[3]

The publisher has been included in several studies of predatory journals,[4][5] and was included on Beall's List prior to its shutdown in 2017.[6] In 2018, PubMed Central conducted a re-evaluation of 16 Kowsar journals indexed in the database; 14 were found to "no longer satisfy PMC's Scientific Quality Standard" and were accordingly delisted.[7] Some of its journals, like Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine, incorrectly claimed to be included in the Directory of Open Access Journals.[8] The issue has been resolved in December 2019.[9]
