Peer-reviewed journals

Six journals, one standard

Law, Islamic studies, Arabic letters, computational science, economics and Islamic finance — every title double-blind reviewed and diamond open access, with no fee to publish and no fee to read.

Editorial standard

What double-blind actually means here

It means the reviewer does not know who wrote it, the author does not know who reviewed it, and the editor cannot override either of them without writing down why. The same process governs all six titles.

01

Desk review

Scope, structure and basic method are checked within two weeks. Roughly a third of submissions stop here, and we say so plainly.

02

Reviewer assignment

Two reviewers with subject expertise, neither from the author's institution. Identities are withheld in both directions.

03

Review and revision

Eight to twelve weeks. Reviewers write to the argument and the evidence; comments on the author are struck out by the editor.

04

Decision

Accept, revise, or decline — with reasons. Authors may appeal a decision to the Editorial Board, which sits separately from the governing board.

For authors

Before you submit

  • Pick the right title

    Six journals means six scopes. A paper sent to the wrong one is desk-rejected on scope alone, however good it is.

  • Anonymise the manuscript

    Remove your name, institution and any self-identifying citation from the file itself. Put them in the cover sheet instead.

  • State the method

    Sampling, instruments, analysis and limitations belong in the paper, not in a reply to a reviewer six weeks later.

  • Clear ethics first

    Studies involving human participants need documented ethics approval before fieldwork, not after submission.

  • Cite properly

    Each title states its citation style on its own page. Arabic sources are transliterated to the journal's scheme.

  • Write for a reader

    A reviewer who cannot follow your argument will not assume the fault is theirs. Neither will we.

An open book resting on a stack of journals

Diamond open access

Authors pay nothing to submit or to publish. Readers pay nothing to read. There is no embargo period and no institutional subscription. Publication costs are met by the institute out of its own budget.

We take this seriously because article processing charges quietly exclude exactly the researchers we were founded to publish.
