Abstract
This survey concerns providing a comparative analysis of the abstracts published in Persian journals of Library and Information Science (LIS) and their compliance with APA manual. This study is based on a content analysis method. The data were collected by studying the abstracts. Besides, 6 journals in the field of Library Science were chosen for this study. Abstracts of 4 recent issues out of each journal have been studied. Results revealed that abstracts published in Faslname-ye Ketab were the most consistent ones with reference to APA manual; and the abstracts published in Library and Information Science Quarterly have the least degree of compliance.
