Note: The publishing of Journal was stopped two times during the wars that took place in Iraq.
The first time was in 2003 as a result of the Second Gulf War. Consequently, the second issue of 2003 was not published.
The second time led to the breakdown of publication in the journal about four years after Volume 14, Issue 1, Autumn 2014, to the end of 2017 due to the occupation of Mosul city by ISIS / DAESH.
The Work in the journal was resumed after the liberation of Mosul City from the ISIS / DAESH, and at that time required great efforts to re-activate the journal , as the office had been burned, damaged, and vandalized by all its contents.
