Peer Review Procedure

The Journal of Contemporary Maqasid Studies operates a double-blind review policy. Articles submitted to the Maqasid Journal will be primarily reviewed by the editors for suitability of publication, then sent to two independent experienced specialists for assessment. After the review process, the Editors arrive at a revision or publication pronouncement. 

The journal's management decisions regarding articles may vary from: accepted, to accepted with minor/major adjustments or rejected. The review procedure usually requires one to three months period after the first submission.
