Editorial Policy


The ISRA International Journal of Islamic Finance (Journal) is managed by the Editorial Committee comprising ISRA Researchers.


Each article submitted for consideration of publication in the Journal, whether academic or from practitioners, is first reviewed by the Editorial Committee.


Thereafter, upon the article being deemed suitable for publication by the Editorial Committee, it is sent for blind review to two suitably qualified external reviewers. The reviewers are given three weeks to review the articles and the comments received are forwarded to the author(s) to act upon. The reviewers have a choice to accept the article as it is, reject it outright or require amendments to be made. Based on the recommendations of the reviewers, the Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision whether the paper should be published as it is, revised or rejected.


Each article which has been accepted for publication is also sent for English editing to ensure the highest standards in the use of the English language.


The Editorial Committee ensures that only original research works, which have not been already published in other journals, are published in the ISRA International Journal of Islamic Finance.

ABOUT THE ISRA INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF ISLAMIC FINANCE


The ISRA International Journal of Islamic Finance (Journal) is a fully peer reviewed refereed journal, published bi-annually and aimed at the academics as well as practitioners. It aspires to promote publications of written materials within Shari’ah, particularly in the areas of Islamic banking, economics, finance, law and takaful. The inaugural issue was published in December 2009.


The Journal is unique because it not only publishes articles of academic rigour but also articles by practitioners who have experience in applied Islamic finance. The Journal also showcases the current research works carried out by the ISRA researchers under the heading ‘Research Notes’.


The Journal boasts a comprehensive International Editorial Advisory Board comprising Shari’ah scholars and academicians. These members contribute their vast experience to the Journal by refereeing the articles submitted; offering advice to the Editorial Committee and also contributing articles to the Journal themselves.


It is the aspiration of the Editorial Committee that the journal achieves the highest rank in quality and substance. It is thus our aim that the Journal be carried in the Thompson ISI database or by Scopus. By ensuring high standards in articles published for Islamic Finance we ensure that further innovation and research is carried out and promoted in the Islamic Finance Industry and academia.
