Section Policies

All submissions must fall within the journal’s focus and scope, be original, not previously published, and not under consideration by another journal. Initial editorial screening evaluates scope, structure, methodological suitability, ethics, formatting, and similarity.

Peer Review Process

Manuscripts that pass editorial screening are sent to at least two reviewers with relevant expertise. Editorial decisions may be accepted, minor revision, major revision, or rejected. Revised manuscripts are normally returned within two weeks unless another deadline is stated by the editor.

Open Access Policy

AL-'ADLU provides immediate open access to its published content. Readers may access articles without subscription charges. Reuse is governed by the journal’s Creative Commons license.

Publication Ethics

AL-'ADLU follows scholarly publishing ethics consistent with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). The journal does not tolerate plagiarism, data fabrication or falsification, duplicate publication, inappropriate authorship, or citation manipulation.

Plagiarism and Similarity Policy

All manuscripts undergo similarity screening with a maximum working threshold of 20%. A similarity score is not the sole measure of plagiarism; editors assess the use of sources as a whole.
