İslam Ekonomisi Dergisi

The journal aims to attract new lines of thinking that consider Islamic economics as one of the main components of economics, albeit with a distinctive methodology. It combines the reform of the received neoclassical doctrine as well as the contemporary system of market capitalism with alternative analytical approaches that reconstruct both our intellectual thought as well as our way of life. The journal is open to high-caliber research in economics, Islamic economics, finance and Islamic finance, history of economic thought, economic history, and other related fields, both theoretical and empirical.

Tables

Statistical tables should be clear-headed, and the reader should be able to understand the meaning of each row or column without searching in the text for explanations of symbols, etc. Units of measurement, base-dates for index numbers, geographical areas covered, and sources should be clearly stated. The authors are fully responsible for the accuracy of the data and for checking their proofs. Whenever the authors feel that the reader would have difficulty testing the derivation of their statistics, they should provide supplementary notes on the methods used.

• Ensure that tables are large enough to be clearly readable on an A4 page;
• Use consecutive Arabic numerals (such as 1, 2, 3);
• Use short titles in italics with initial capitals;
• Do not use vertical lines or shading;
• Do not use more than 10 columns per table.

Diagrams and figures

Diagrams and figures should be clearly drawn and accompanied by the basic statistics that were required for their preparation, the axes must be clearly labeled, and the reader must be able to understand the diagrams and figures without searching in the text for explanations. We reserve the right to request the worksheets used to produce all tables and figures.

Diagram and figure formatting

• Ensure that diagrams and figures are large enough to be clearly readable on an A4 page;
• Use consecutive Arabic numerals (such as 1, 2, 3);
• Use just a few round numbers in the axes;
• Diagrams and figures should be high-resolution;
• Diagram and figure legends must be clearly readable in black and white.

Mathematics

The mathematical derivations necessary for justifying each step of the argument should accompany all articles with mathematical arguments.
Please do not use smaller fonts in complex expressions, except for superscripts and subscripts.
• Numbers less than 1, but greater than -1 must have 0 before the decimal point.
• All equations to which the text refers should be numbered consecutively (1), (2), on the right-hand side of the page. Equations included within the main bulk of text should, where possible, be kept on one line. If equations contain fractions, a slash “/” (solidus) should be used and the numerator and denominator enclosed with parentheses.
• Algebra should include punctuation.
• Percent should appear in the text as %.
• Algebra should have bold capitals for matrices, bold lowercase for vectors, and italic lowercase for scalars.
• Transposition is denoted by a prime (A’).
• Fractions that are too complex to be kept within the text should be presented on a separate line.
• Assumptions, corollaries, definitions, lemmata, propositions, and theorems should each be consecutively numbered 1,2,3, etc. Each category should follow only from other numbers in that category (i.e., PROPOSITION 1, THEOREM 1, PROPOSITION 2, COROLLARY 1, THEOREM 2, PROPOSITION 3). Titles should be in small capitals, with the text following in italics. Algebra that does not follow the journal style will be queried during production.
Typesetting instructions should be provided in cases where ambiguities may arise. If there is a reason why the journal style may confuse the content of the article, authors are asked to add a note to the beginning of the text to explain why.

Footnotes

• Footnotes should be kept to a minimum;
• Use consecutive superscript Arabic numerals;
• Footnotes should appear after punctuation.

Acronyms

• First reference: Journal of Islamic Economics (JIE)
• Subsequent references: JIE

Quotations

• Short quotations ‘should be in single inverted commas with citation and page reference.’
• Long quotations should be separated from the main text, starting on a new line with a line space before and after. The paragraph should be indented. A citation should be included immediately under the quotation to the right.

Appendices

• Appendices should be designated A, B, C as required.
• Second level headings: A.1., A.2., B.1., etc.
• Tables and figures labeled as A1, A2, B1, B2, etc.
• Equations labeled as (A.1), (A.2), (B.1), etc.

References

References should start on a new page and must be
• Carefully checked and complete in respect of the year and the place of publication.
• A bibliographical list is given should follow the “American Psychological Association (APA) 6th edition” style.
