1. Journal of Islamic Law Studies employs a "Continuous Publication" model. Manuscripts that successfully complete the peer-review process are assigned a DOI and published immediately without waiting for the completion of a full issue. Printed issues are compiled twice a year (June and December) from the articles published during that period. The journal does not charge any fees for article submission, evaluation, or publication at any stage (Diamond Open Access).

2. For research requiring ethical clearance, approval must be obtained from an ethics committee. The official approval document must be uploaded to the system, and details of the approval (committee name, date, and protocol number) must be cited on the first page and in the methodology section of the study. For further details, please review the Ethical Principles and Publication Policy page.

3. The journal accepts manuscripts in Turkish, Arabic, and English. To maintain scientific diversity, an author may publish a maximum of one (1) study per publication period.

4. All submitted manuscripts undergo preliminary review, plagiarism screening, peer-review evaluation, and language editing phases.

5. It is an obligatory rule that all technical or substantive revisions requested during both the preliminary review and peer-review stages must be highlighted in red within the text. Manuscripts that do not comply with the writing rules or formatting requirements will be returned to the author for correction.

6. Manuscripts that pass the preliminary review stage are subjected to a double-blind peer review process involving at least two external reviewers. For detailed information regarding the workflow, please visit the Evaluation Process page.

7. Manuscripts must include a Turkish "Öz" and an English Abstract at the beginning of the text, reflecting the scope and findings of the study.

8. Studies that have completed the peer-review process must include an ethical statement, conflict of interest statement, and, if applicable, a support and acknowledgment statement. For multi-authored studies, an author contribution statement must be included within the text.

9. Manuscripts must be prepared according to the Isnad Citation Style (2nd Edition). The use of reference management software such as Zotero, Mendeley, or EndNote is highly recommended for international academic compliance and citation accuracy.
