"Iranian researchers are in a difficult situation. Those in Iran face low wages, high inflation, sociopolitical instability, resource mismanagement, oppression by the authorities and long-standing international sanctions. High prices hinder conference attendance, as do difficulties obtaining visas. Unstable Internet connections, frequent power outages and lack of access to scholarly sources jeopardize collaborations. Scholars also have to contend with isolation, and sometimes biases, from the international community. And for those who work abroad, travelling to and from Iran is risky, even with visas and double citizenship."

Iranian researchers face severe economic and practical constraints that undermine research productivity and international collaboration. Those based inside Iran cope with low wages, high inflation, sociopolitical instability, resource mismanagement, state oppression and long-standing international sanctions. High prices and visa difficulties restrict conference attendance and mobility. Unreliable Internet, frequent power outages and limited access to scholarly sources jeopardize collaborations and information exchange. Researchers experience isolation and occasional bias from the international community. Researchers who work abroad encounter travel risks to and from Iran, even when holding visas or dual citizenship.
