Peer Review Process

A screening check for general content will be carried out on every manuscript upon submission. The corresponding author may be contacted to send the revised version. Manuscripts will be peer-reviewed by a minimum of two reviewers (double blind). The manuscript will be evaluated based on its appropriateness for Islāmiyyāt, contribution to the discipline, cogency of analysis, conceptual breadth, clarity of presentation, and technical adequacy. To ensure that manuscripts are evaluated solely on their merit, the author(s)’ identity is concealed from reviewers during the review process. Manuscripts submitted by the editorial board members will also go through the same procedure.
