Peer-Review Process

All manuscripts submitted to Sharia, Philosophy and Ethics are subject to a double-blind peer-review process, meaning that the identities of both the authors and reviewers are concealed throughout the review.

Each manuscript is initially reviewed by the editorial team to ensure compliance with the journal’s thematic scope, formatting standards, and ethical policies. Once deemed suitable, the paper is assigned to two or three independent expert reviewers in the relevant field. The reviewers evaluate the manuscript on criteria such as originality, scholarly contribution, methodological rigor, and clarity of presentation.

Reviewers are given approximately 3–4 weeks to submit their feedback. Based on the reviewers’ comments, the editorial board may decide to:

• Accept the paper as is,

• Request minor or major revisions,

• Reject the manuscript.

Authors are given clear feedback and, if revisions are requested, a reasonable timeframe to resubmit the manuscript. All revised submissions undergo another round of editorial evaluation and, if necessary, further peer review. The average time from submission to first decision is typically between 4 to 6 weeks.
