Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process and Editorial Decision

El Dinar applies a double-blind peer review process, in which both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review process. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two independent reviewers before a final editorial decision is made.

All submitted articles are read by the editorial staff. Those articles evaluated by editors as inappropriate to the journal's criteria are rejected promptly without external review. Articles evaluated to be of potential interest to our readership are sent to double-blind reviewers. Every submitted manuscript will be reviewed by at least two reviewers. The editors then make a decision based on the reviewers' recommendation from among several possibilities: rejected, require major revision, need minor revision, or accepted. The Editor of El Dinar has the right to decide which manuscripts submitted to the journal should be published.

To be published in this journal, a paper should meet general criteria:
- The submitted article must be original, unpublished work, and not under consideration for publication elsewhere.
- Provides strong evidence for its conclusions.
- Should be based on research results or literature studies in Islamic economics and Islamic banking.
- Ideally, it should be of interest to researchers in the field of Islamic economics and related disciplines.
In general, to be acceptable, the article should represent an advance in understanding likely to influence thinking in the field. There should be a discernible reason why the work deserves the visibility of publication in El Dinar rather than the best of the specialist journals.

Review Process:
1. Author Article Submission
2. Editor Evaluation [some articles may be rejected or returned before the review process]; If the content and format of the submitted article are seen as appropriate by the editors, the article will then be sent out for 'blind review' by two independent referees. Revisions may be required in the light of referees' comments before a decision is made to accept or reject the paper.
3. Double-Blind Peer Review Process; The author does not know who the reviewers are, and the reviewers do not know the identity of the author.
4. Editor Decision; All papers sent back to the authors for revision should be returned to the editor without delay. Revised articles can be sent to the editorial office through the Online Submission Interface. The revised manuscripts returned later than three months will be considered as new submissions
5. Confirmation to the authors
