Peer Review Process

Check relevance to scope, completeness of required components, and similarity level (max. 25% excluding references).

Manuscripts passing initial screening are assigned to a Section Editor for further evaluation before forwarding to reviewers.

At least two independent experts assess originality, methodology, data quality, analysis, and contribution to Islamic law and contemporary studies. Recommendations: acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection.

Authors submit a revised manuscript with a response document. Manuscripts requiring substantial changes may undergo re-review.

Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision. Accepted manuscripts proceed to copyediting, layout, and galley proof. Published 3 times/year (March, July, November).
