Editorial Policies

Section Policies

All submissions must fall within the journal’s focus and scope, follow the Author Guidelines and article template, be original, and not be 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 for peer review. Reviewers assess originality, methodological rigor, educational relevance, quality of analysis, engagement with prior scholarship, and contribution to Islamic education. 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

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

YUZAKKIHIM follows recognized scholarly publishing ethics and principles consistent with the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). The journal does not tolerate plagiarism, data fabrication or falsification, duplicate publication, inappropriate authorship, citation manipulation, or unethical treatment of research participants.
