Peer Review Process

Asy-Syari'ah review process uses a double-blind review system. First, manuscript are read by editorial members (upon the field of specialization) to meet the Asy-Syari'ah criteria. Then, the manuscript will be sent to at least two anonymous reviewers. Sometimes (if required) a third peer-reviewer is also needed for further recommendation. Reviewers' comments are then sent to the corresponding author for necessary actions and responses. Finally, the Editor shall inform the author of the results of the review as soon as possible, hopefully within sixty days.

The final decision of manuscript acceptance is made by Editor in Chief or Regional (Handling) Editor (together with Editorial Board if required) according to reviewers' critical comments. Asy-Syari'ah has four tipes of decisions:

• Accepted, as it is
• Accepted by Minor Revisions (let authors revised with stipulated time)
• Accepted by Major Revisions (let authors revised with stipulated time)
• Rejected (generally, on grounds of the outside of scope and aim, major technical description problems, lack of clarity of presentation)

Editor will also run a plagiarism check using Turnitin for the submitted articles before sending it to the reviewers. If a manuscript has over 25% of similarity, we will send back the article to the author to be revised for the plagiarised contents. The journal is carried out by using Mendeley as a Tool Reference Manager and Chicago Manual of Style 17th Edition (full note) as the style.

Policy of Screening for Plagiarism

All of the articles submitted to Asy-syari'ah will be screened for plagiarism using plagiarism detection tools (Turnitin ). Asy-Syari'ah Journal will immediately reject papers leading to plagiarism or self-plagiarism.

Before submitting articles to reviewers, those are first checked for similarity/plagiarism tool, by a member of the editorial team. The papers submitted to Asy-Syari'ah must have a similarity level of less than 20%.

Plagiarism is the exposure of another person’s thoughts or words as though they were your own, without permission, credit, or acknowledgment, or because of failing to cite the sources properly. Plagiarism can take diverse forms, from literal copying to paraphrasing the work of another. In order to properly judge whether an author has plagiarized, we emphasize the following possible situations:

• An author can literally copy another author’s work- by copying word by word, in whole or in part, without permission, acknowledge or citing the original source. This practice can be identified by comparing the original source and the manuscript/work who is suspected of plagiarism.
• Substantial copying implies an author to reproduce a substantial part of another author, without permission, acknowledge, or citation. The substantial term can be understood both in terms of quality as quantity, is often used in the context of Intellectual property. Quality refers to the relative value of the copied text in proportion to the work as a whole.
• Paraphrasing involves taking ideas, words, or phrases from a source and crafting them into new sentences within the writing. This practice becomes unethical when the author does not properly cite or does not acknowledge the original work/author. This form of plagiarism is the more difficult form to be identified.
