Manuscript Types

The Journal of Islamic Economics and Business (JIEB) welcomes original scholarly contributions that fall within the journal's aims and scope. Submissions must demonstrate academic rigor, relevance to Islamic economics and business, and a clear contribution to existing knowledge, policy, or practice.

JIEB considers several types of scholarly manuscripts. Authors should select the category that best reflects the purpose, approach, and contribution of their work. All submissions are subject to editorial assessment and must comply with the journal's publication ethics and submission requirements.

1. Original Research Articles

Original research articles present the findings of empirical or theoretical research. They should identify a clear research problem, explain the research design and methodology, present and analyze the findings, and discuss their implications for scholarship, policy, or practice.

Research articles may employ quantitative, qualitative, or mixed-methods approaches, as well as other appropriate research designs. The manuscript should provide sufficient methodological detail to enable readers and reviewers to assess the rigor and credibility of the research.

2. Review Articles

Review articles critically examine and synthesize existing research on a specific topic within Islamic economics and business. Where applicable, they should explain the approach used to identify, select, evaluate, and synthesize relevant literature.

Review articles must go beyond summarizing previous studies. They should identify key debates, research gaps, emerging trends, theoretical developments, and opportunities for future research. The conclusions should be supported by the literature reviewed and the analytical approach adopted.

3. Conceptual and Theoretical Articles

Conceptual and theoretical articles develop, examine, or refine concepts, theories, models, or analytical frameworks relevant to the journal's scope.

These manuscripts should present a clear theoretical rationale, engage critically with relevant literature, and explain how the proposed argument, framework, or model advances understanding of an issue in Islamic economics and business. Claims and conclusions should be logically developed and supported by appropriate scholarly sources.

4. Case Studies and Applied Research

Case studies and applied research articles examine specific institutions, organizations, communities, policies, programs, or practices related to Islamic economics and business.

Submissions should establish a clear analytical framework, explain the methods and evidence used, and discuss the relevance of the findings beyond the particular case. The analysis should offer insights that may inform scholarship, institutional decision-making, or professional practice.

Authors must address applicable research ethics requirements, including informed consent, confidentiality, and relevant institutional approval where necessary.

5. Policy and Practice Analysis

Policy and practice analysis articles critically evaluate policies, regulations, institutional practices, or developments relevant to Islamic economics and business.

These manuscripts should be grounded in appropriate evidence, demonstrate a coherent analytical approach, and provide meaningful interpretations or recommendations. Authors should explain the implications of their analysis for relevant stakeholders, institutions, policy development, or professional practice.
