Peer Review Process

Rigorous, Structured & Objective Evaluation

Every manuscript submitted to Mukhtasab: Journal of Economics and Islamic Business undergoes a rigorous and structured peer review process to ensure the academic quality, originality, and relevance of published articles. The journal implements a double-blind peer review system, where both reviewers and authors remain anonymous throughout the evaluation process to promote objectivity and fairness.

Initial Evaluation

Upon submission, each manuscript is first reviewed by the editorial team to verify its conformity with the journal’s focus, scope, and formatting guidelines. Manuscripts that do not meet these requirements may be returned to authors for revision or rejected before peer review.

Double-Blind Peer Review

Manuscripts passing the initial screening are sent to at least two qualified reviewers with expertise relevant to the topic. Reviewers evaluate the paper’s originality, theoretical contribution, methodological rigor, clarity, and relevance to Islamic economics and business studies.
