Edu-Sufia: Journal of Transformative Islamic Education implements a peer review policy with a double-blind review system, in which the identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential to maintain the objectivity and integrity of the review process. Each manuscript received will be reviewed by experts in the field of Islamic education, as well as other relevant fields according to the focus of the article.

 

This process is carried out to ensure that each manuscript meets scientific quality standards, complies with journal guidelines, and makes a significant academic contribution. For manuscripts that require revision, the same reviewers will be involved again to ensure that the revisions meet publication standards.

General Peer Review Policy

Edu-Sufia is committed to maintaining the quality of its publications through a rigorous, transparent, and accountable review process. Every article published has been reviewed by peer reviewers with the following conditions:

• Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two (2) reviewers who are competent in the field of study of the article.
• The final decision on publication is made by the Editorial Board based on the reviewers' recommendations.
• The Editorial Board, both national and international, provides strategic support, guidance, and input in scientific decision-making.
• The Managing Editor and Assistant Editors ensure the smooth running of administrative processes, maintain the integrity of the review process, and optimise manuscript turnaround time for the efficiency of authors, reviewers, and editors.
• The review process is conducted objectively, ethically, and accountably, following the principles of reputable academic publications.

Peer Review of Submitted Manuscripts

Editor Edu-Sufia will assess whether a submitted manuscript will be accepted, revised, or rejected based on the results of the review and editorial considerations. The editor has the authority to:
