Peer Review Process

Submissions should be prepared under the Author Guidelines. The manuscript may be returned to authors without a scientific assessment if: (1) Not meet all submission requirements; (2) Are not in the correct format; (3) Its found indication of publication malpractice; and/or (4) Cannot be downloaded reliably.

Submissions must represent the original and independent work of the authors. Editor in Chief assesses each new submission to determine whether it falls within the general remit of Al-Iktisab: Journal of Islamic Economic Law. We will reject a manuscript without review if: (1) Its contains insufficient content; (2) Its exceeds our word limit or is incorrectly formatted; (3) Its poorly presented and unclear; and/or (4) There are indication of plagiarism. Editor in Chief or Section Editor will handle manuscripts that pass the initial assessment to oversee the review process for contribution, originality, relevance, and presentation.

Once a manuscript passes the initial checks, it will be assigned for peer review (double blind), this means that the author and reviewer do not know each other. Peer review comments are confidential and will only be disclosed with the express agreement of the reviewer. All manuscripts are subject to peer review, and authors can expect a decision, or an explanation for the delay, within one month of receipt. The corresponding author should submit the revised manuscript within one month if a revision is invited. Editor in Chief or Section Editor make the final decision based on the information gained through the peer-review process.

As explained in Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement, we ensure that the reviewed manuscript is treated confidentially before publication.
