PEER REVIEW POLICY

 

The journal follows a double-blind peer review policy. The paper is sent to reviewers (experts in the respective field) to review the paper in light of the journal's guidelines and the features of a quality research paper. For papers which require changes, the same reviewers will be used to ensure that the quality of the revised paper is acceptable.

The journal follows a systematic review and publication policy:

Step 1: The submitted manuscript is acknowledged within 12–24 hours upon receipt.

Step 2: The manuscript/paper is sent to reviewers (paper without the name and affiliations of the author(s)). The review process takes a maximum of twelve weeks.

Step 3: The review reports are collected from the reviewers and the executive editor will send the review reports to the authors including all terms and conditions of the publication.

Step 4: If the paper is accepted subject to modification, the executive editor will send the review reports to the author/corresponding author, including a formal request to modify the paper within seven days as per the suggestions of the reviewers. The executive editor will send the modified paper to the same reviewers to verify the modifications. If the paper is returned again by the reviewers, the paper is considered finally rejected and the journal will not proceed with it. However, in the case of very minor changes, the editorial board may consider the paper for further modifications.

Step 5: The accepted paper is processed for publication (soft copy) upon successful completion of the journal's terms and conditions.

Step 6: Proof Reading. The executive editor will send the processed paper for publication (MS Word) to the author/corresponding author for proof reading.

Step 7: The paper is published online first. The executive editor will notify the author/corresponding author about the online publication with the necessary download link. The author/corresponding author may request any correction to the published paper (in case of extremely important changes) within one week of online publication.

Step 8: The journal is published in print within one to two weeks of online publication.

Step 9: The executive editor will ask the authors of the published papers to send their correct and complete mailing address (with proper ZIP/postal code) within one week after print publication.

Step 10: The executive editor will send the hard copy of El Nubuwwah: Jurnal Studi Hadis to the authors, if possible, within one to two months after print publication.
