Author Guidelines

Indonesian Journal of Islamization Studies (INJAS)

We welcome original research articles, literature reviews, conceptual papers, and critical analyses that contribute to the field of Islamization of knowledge across disciplines—especially within the humanities, social sciences, education, and science and technology.

To ensure quality and thematic alignment, authors are expected to adhere to the following guidelines:

1.Manuscript Scope and Focus

All submitted manuscripts must explicitly engage with the concept of Islamization of knowledge, either in theoretical discussion or through applied analysis. Articles should explore how Islamic epistemology, values, or worldview inform or critique contemporary academic paradigms. Submissions that merely present general Islamic studies content without engaging the Islamization framework may be returned without review.

2. Originality and Language

  • Submissions must be original, unpublished, and not under consideration elsewhere.

  • Manuscripts can be written in Bahasa Indonesia, English, or Arabic. Authors must ensure the use of clear, academic language.

  • Authors are responsible for linguistic accuracy. Professional proofreading is recommended for non-native speakers.

3. Referencing and Citation Style

  • All references must be authoritative, scholarly sources such as journal articles, academic books, classical Islamic texts, and reputable institutional reports.

  • There is no requirement for references to be from the last five years. INJAS prioritizes relevance and scholarly weight over recency. Classical sources, foundational works, and contemporary Islamic scholarship are all acceptable when contextually justified.

  • Citation and bibliography must follow the Chicago Manual of Style – Full Note (Footnote) system.

  • Please use reference management tools such as Zotero, Mendeley, or EndNote to format citations correctly.

4. Manuscript Formatting

  • Length: 5,000–8,000 words (excluding footnotes and bibliography).

  • Format: Typed in MS Word, 1.5 spacing, 12pt Times New Roman font.

  • Structure: Suggested sections include:

    • Title

    • Abstract (150–250 words, with 3–5 keywords)

    • Introduction

    • Literature Review

    • Methodology (if applicable)

    • Analysis and Discussion (with clear emphasis on Islamization aspect)

    • Conclusion

    • References/Bibliography

5. Highlighting the Islamization Aspect

Authors must demonstrate how the analysis reflects the Islamization of knowledge. This could include:

  • Engaging Islamic epistemological principles;

  • Referencing Qur’an, Hadith, or classical Islamic scholars in framing or interpreting the subject;

  • Challenging or re-contextualizing Western paradigms from an Islamic worldview;

  • Proposing integration models or methods rooted in Islamic tradition. Or stating the very weakness in such practiced 'islamization' method in real condition. It may refer to several paradigm in Philosophy of Science or Islamic Science.

Failure to address the Islamization dimension clearly may result in rejection or revision requests.

6. Plagiarism and Ethics

  • Manuscripts are screened using plagiarism detection software (e.g., Turnitin).

  • INJAS strictly prohibits plagiarism, data falsification, and unethical research practices.

  • Authors must include proper acknowledgment of any third-party content or assistance.

7. Submission and Review Process
