Decision on Article Publication

The Editor-in-Chief of Al-IKHTIAR : Jurnal Studi Islam is responsible for deciding which articles to publish from among the articles submitted to the journal.

The Editor-in-Chief may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

 

The Editor-in-Chief must ensure that each manuscript is first evaluated by the editor/co-editor, who may use appropriate software to check the originality of the manuscript's content and after passing this test, the manuscript is forwarded to two reviewers for blind peer review, each of whom will make a recommendation to publish the manuscript in its current form or to modify or reject it. The time required for each review stage is at least one month after the reviewer's willingness (each article has a different review stage, depending on the quality of the article). If the article is of very good or very poor quality, the decision may be taken more quickly.
