Peer Review Process

All submissions to Musyarokah: Jurnal Hukum dan Ekonomi Islam undergo a rigorous peer-review process to ensure academic integrity, originality, and relevance to the journal’s focus and scope. The journal implements a double-blind peer review system, in which both authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the process. The review is conducted by experts in relevant fields who assess the academic quality, novelty, and ethical compliance of the submitted manuscript.

Initial Review

Upon submission, the editorial team conducts a preliminary screening to ensure the manuscript aligns with the journal's scope and complies with formatting and citation guidelines. Manuscripts with a plagiarism similarity index above 20% will be rejected at this stage. If necessary, the manuscript may be returned to the author for technical or content revision before proceeding to peer review.

Reviewer Assignment

The editorial board assigns at least two to three independent reviewers who are experts in the subject area of the manuscript. Reviewers are selected based on their academic qualifications and are required to have no conflicts of interest with the authors. Authors must ensure that their identities are fully anonymized in the manuscript by removing names, acknowledgments, and identifying citations, which must be placed on a separate title page file. Reviewers are expected to submit their evaluations within two to three weeks.

Reviewers evaluate the manuscript based on:

  • Originality and contribution to Islamic education or civilization studies
  • Coherence of argument and academic writing quality

  • Accept without revision: The manuscript meets all criteria for publication.

  • Major revision: The manuscript requires significant changes, especially in methodology, data, or argument structure, and will be re-reviewed upon resubmission.
  • Reject: The manuscript contains fundamental issues that disqualify it from publication.

Editorial Decision

The final decision regarding acceptance, revision, or rejection is made by the Editor-in-Chief based on reviewers’ recommendations. In cases of significant disagreement between reviewers, a third reviewer may be consulted. Authors will receive an official decision letter and anonymous reviewer comments through the online submission system.

The average duration from submission to initial decision is approximately four to six weeks, and the publication timeline after acceptance is around 2 to 4 weeks, depending on editing and production.

Revision and Resubmission

For manuscripts requiring revisions:

  • Minor revisions should be submitted within two weeks.
  • Major revisions should be submitted within four weeks along with a response letter detailing how each reviewer’s comment has been addressed.

Revised manuscripts undergoing major changes may be reassessed by the same reviewers.
