About the Journal

About the Journal

The name QAWIY AMIN reflects two complementary qualities required in educational management: strength or professional capability (qawiy) and trustworthiness or integrity (amin). The journal therefore promotes scholarship that combines managerial competence, accountability, ethical leadership, and Islamic values in the development of madrasahs, pesantren, schools, universities, foundations, and other educational institutions.

Focus and Scope

QAWIY AMIN welcomes manuscripts in the following areas:

• Islamic educational leadership.
• Governance and policy of Islamic educational institutions.
• Educational management and quality assurance.
• Human resource management for teachers and educational personnel.
• Organizational culture and organizational behavior.
• Public relations, educational finance, and managerial decision-making.
• Management of pesantren and madrasahs.
• Educational supervision and curriculum management.

Manuscripts whose primary focus is classroom teaching and learning may be redirected to YUZAKKIHIM. Studies on economics or business outside the context of educational institutions may be redirected to AL-KASB.

Types of Manuscripts

• Quantitative, qualitative, mixed-methods, policy, and institutional case-study research.
• Systematic or structured reviews relevant to Islamic educational management.
• Conceptual studies that develop managerial frameworks grounded in relevant management theory and Islamic values.

Editorial Policies

Section Policies

All submissions must fall within the journal's focus and scope and comply with the Author Guidelines and article template. Manuscripts must be original, academically accountable, not previously published, and not under consideration by another journal.

The editorial team conducts an initial screening for scope, manuscript structure, methodological suitability, ethics, technical format, and similarity. Manuscripts may be returned before external review if they are outside scope, incomplete, technically unsuitable, or clearly below the journal's minimum scholarly standard.

Peer Review Process

Manuscripts that pass editorial screening are sent to at least two reviewers with relevant expertise for peer review. Reviewers assess originality, managerial relevance, theoretical grounding, methodological rigor, quality of data and analysis, contribution to Islamic educational management, and suitability for publication.

Editorial decisions may be: accepted, minor revision, major revision, or rejected. When revision is requested, authors are normally expected to return the revised manuscript within two weeks unless another deadline is stated by the editor.

Accepted manuscripts proceed to editing, copyediting, layout, proofing, and scheduling for the nearest available issue.

Open Access Policy

QAWIY AMIN provides immediate open access to its published content in order to support wider dissemination of research on Islamic educational leadership and management. Readers may access published articles without subscription charges.

Reuse of published content is governed by the journal's Creative Commons license and requires proper attribution and compliance with the applicable license terms.

Publication Ethics

QAWIY AMIN follows recognized scholarly publishing ethics and principles consistent with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Authors must:

• Submit original work and avoid plagiarism, self-plagiarism, duplicate submission, redundant publication, fabrication, falsification, and citation manipulation.
• Present institutional data, policy documents, interview quotations, and statistical findings accurately.
• List only genuine contributors as authors and ensure all listed authors approve the submitted and final versions.
• Disclose conflicts of interest, funding, and material use of generative AI.
• Obtain institutional permission where required and protect confidential or sensitive organizational information.
• Cooperate with the editor in correcting or retracting a published article when serious errors or ethical issues are identified.

Reviewers and editors must preserve confidentiality, manage conflicts of interest, and base their recommendations or decisions on scholarly considerations.

Plagiarism and Similarity Policy

All submitted manuscripts are subject to similarity screening. The journal's maximum working similarity threshold is 20%. A numerical score is not the sole measure of plagiarism; editors may reject a manuscript for inappropriate paraphrasing, self-plagiarism, unattributed translation, duplicate publication, or other misuse of sources even when the similarity score is below the threshold.

Article Submission Charges

QAWIY AMIN does not charge an article submission fee or peer-review fee. Article submission charge: IDR 0.

Article Processing Charges (APCs)

An Article Processing Charge (APC) of IDR 100,000 is payable only after a manuscript has been formally accepted for publication. No payment guarantees acceptance. Editorial and peer-review decisions are independent of payment.

For reviewers and editors

Corrections, Retractions, and Editorial Notices

Significant errors identified after publication may be addressed through a correction, clarification, expression of concern, or retraction.
