Manuscripts submitted to Hakam: Journal of Islamic Law and Islamic Economic Law will go through a selection and assessment process by the Editorial Board to ensure that they comply with the writing guidelines, focus, and scope, and have excellent academic quality. Manuscripts will be reviewed using the “double-blind peer review” method, where neither the author nor the reviewer knows each other's identities.
Desk review. At the desk review stage, the manuscript will be checked to ensure that the manuscript has met the writing guidelines, focus, and scope with excellent academic quality. If it does not meet the requirements, the author will be given the opportunity to revise the manuscript according to the criteria given. However, there is also a possibility that the manuscript will be rejected immediately.
Peer review. After the manuscript passes the desk review stage, the manuscript will be submitted to two reviewers who are experts in the field of the submitted manuscript. The review process will be carried out within four weeks. Manuscripts that do not pass the desk review will not proceed to this stage.
Reviewer's decision. The reviewers will provide the following recommendations:
- Accepted; means the manuscript is suitable for publication;
- Accepted with minor revisions; means the manuscript is suitable for publication after being revised in response to the reviewers' concerns;
- Accepted with major revisions; means substantive deficiencies in the manuscript, such as data analysis, the main theory used, and rewriting of paragraphs, need to be revised;
- Rejected; means the manuscript is not suitable for publication or the review given is related to very fundamental issues.
The reviewer's decision will be considered by the Editorial Board to determine the next process of the manuscript.
Revision Stage. After the manuscript is accepted with a minor or major revision notation, the manuscript will be returned to the author with a review summary form. For manuscripts accepted with major revisions, the author is given four weeks to revise. While for manuscripts accepted with minor revisions, two weeks are given for revision.
Final decision. At this stage, the manuscript will be re-evaluated by the Editorial Board to ensure that the author has made revisions in response to the reviewers' concerns. In this final decision, the manuscript can still be rejected if the author does not make the necessary revisions seriously.
Proofread. Once the manuscript has been deemed acceptable by the Board of Editors, it will undergo a proofreading process to maintain linguistic quality.
Correction. After the manuscript is considered acceptable by the Editorial Board, the manuscript will undergo a correction process to maintain the quality of the language.
Confirmation of publication. At this stage, the final layout of the manuscript will be resubmitted to the author to ensure that the content matches the author's writing. At this stage, the author can revise any typographical errors found in the final manuscript. After confirmation from the author, the Editorial Secretary will process the manuscript for online publication on the website as well as print publication.
