Iqthishodi: Journal of Islamic Economics, Law and Business 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 fields of Islamic economics, Sharia economic law, Sharia business and management, and 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.

• 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.
