Guidelines for Authors

Peer Review Process

Turkish Journal of Islamic Economics (TUJISE) is a double blind peer reviewed biannual academic journal and publishes articles only in English. In order to gain acceptance, all articles submitted to TUJISE for evaluation must have never been previously published. Submissions are first reviewed by the editorial board. If an article satisfies the necessary conditions of style and content, reviewers will then proceed to evaluate its suitability for publication. All articles undergo evaluation by two anonymous reviewers. To ensure the academic quality and integrity of our research standards strict anonymity is ensured between the authors and reviewers. Only articles accepted by both the reviewers are taken to the later stages of publication. In case the reviewers differ in their opinion about publication of an article, if necessary, the article may be sent to a third reviewer for further assessment. The publication of an article then depends upon the approval of the majority of these reviewers. Authors are expected to provide the necessary corrections demanded by the editors or reviewers during the evaluation process of an article.

General Guidelines & Submission Checklist

In general, any submitted work should provide the following formatting conditions.

1. Articles must be between 5,000 and 8,000 words, including references, footnotes, tables, figures, and appendices.

2. They should be written in MS Word Processor in normal margins and Times New Roman, 10-pt, space 1.5 lines, aligned left.

3. Tables, figures, pictures, and graphs should fit the journal page. If needed, they may be written in a smaller font size and their text may be single spaced.

4. Tables and graphs should be numbered consecutively in accordance with their appearance in the text. Table numbers should be left-aligned and bold. Titles should be written in italics (not bold) and placed directly below the number.

   Place footnotes to tables below the table body and indicate them with superscript lowercase letters. Avoid vertical rules. Be sparing in the use of tables and ensure that the data presented in tables does not duplicate results described elsewhere in the article.

   The figure number and colon (Figure 1:) should be centered and bold, placed below the figure. The figure title should follow the colon, written in regular (not bold) font, with Each Word Starting With A Capital Letter.
