Peer Review Process
NJQHS employs a rigorous double-blind peer review process to ensure the highest standards of academic excellence. All submitted manuscripts undergo:
- Initial Editorial Screening: The editorial team evaluates each submission for relevance to the journal's scope, adherence to submission guidelines, and overall scholarly quality before proceeding to formal review.
- Plagiarism Check: All manuscripts are screened using professional plagiarism detection software to ensure originality and academic integrity.
- Double-Blind Peer Review: Each manuscript is evaluated by at least two independent experts in Qur'anic studies, Hadith sciences, or related Islamic disciplines, with the identities of both authors and reviewers kept confidential throughout the process.
- Editorial Decision: A final decision — acceptance, revision, or rejection — is made by the Editor-in-Chief based on reviewer recommendations and editorial judgment.
- Revision and Copyediting: Accepted manuscripts undergo a structured revision process in accordance with reviewer feedback, followed by thorough copyediting to ensure linguistic clarity and consistency before final publication.
