Peer Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to Sharia and Society (SAS) will go through an editorial screening and peer-review process before publication.

Review Process:

• The editor checks the manuscript’s suitability with the focus and scope of the journal.
• The manuscript is screened for originality and compliance with author guidelines.
• Manuscripts that pass the initial screening are sent to reviewers.
• The journal applies a double-blind peer review system, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are concealed.
• Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on originality, methodology, clarity, academic contribution, and relevance.
• The editor makes the final decision based on reviewers’ recommendations.

Editorial Decisions may include:

• Accepted
• Accepted with minor revisions
• Revisions required
• Resubmit for review
• Rejected

The review process normally takes approximately 4 to 8 weeks, depending on the availability of reviewers and the quality of the submitted manuscript.
