Peer Review Process

Peer Review Process

THARWAH: Journal of Islamic Civilization and Thought follows a double-blind peer review process with a minimum two reviewers. The editors review the submitted manuscripts according to the journal guidelines. These submissions are systematically processed as follows:

Step 1: Authors are notified automatically within 24 hours of their submission.

Step 2: The manuscripts are assigned to the editors within seven days. If the number of articles submitted to the journal is higher than usual, this may take longer.

Step 3: The editors assess whether the manuscripts follow the author guidelines or not and reject those that do not fulfil the standart requirements.

Step 4: Manuscripts that need minor revision are returned to the authors who need to submit a revised version of their manuscripts within seven days upon receipt.

Step 5: The revised manuscripts (without the authors’ name and affiliation) are forwarded to at least two reviewers. The reviewers either complete a review form or add their comments directly. The review process takes a maximum of 28 days.

Step 6: The editor will notify the authors if their manuscripts need further revision. The authors must upload the revised manuscript within 14 days. If the revised manuscript has been amended to incorporate the reviewers’ suggestions, it is accepted for publication (copyediting, layout, and proofreading).
