The editorial process of the Zabags International Journal of Islamic Studies (ZIJIS) is designed to ensure that all submitted manuscripts meet international academic standards and are processed systematically and fairly. Manuscripts are submitted via Open Journal Systems and undergo an initial administrative screening by the Managing Editor, which includes checking for scope suitability, compliance with formatting guidelines, language quality, completeness of metadata, and a similarity index below 20%. Manuscripts that pass this stage proceed to an initial review by the Editor-in-Chief, during which they are evaluated based on originality, methodological rigor, international relevance, theoretical contribution, and clarity of writing. Manuscripts that do not demonstrate sufficient academic merit will be rejected at this stage, while those with potential may be requested to be revised before being sent for peer review.
Manuscripts that pass desk review enter a double-blind peer review process involving at least two reviewers, typically completed within 2–4 weeks. Reviewers assess originality, methodology, analysis, contribution, and global relevance, and provide recommendations such as accept, minor revision, major revision, or reject. Editorial decisions are made based on these evaluations, with the Editor-in-Chief holding final authority. Authors are required to revise their manuscripts accordingly within specified timelines, and accepted papers proceed to copyediting, formatting, DOI assignment, and final publication in the journal system. Throughout the process, ZIJIS adheres to publication ethics standards established by Committee on Publication Ethics, ensuring integrity, transparency, and quality in scholarly publishing.
