Article Peer Review Process

Every manuscript submitted to HEUTAGOGIA: Journal of Islamic Education undergoes an initial editorial assessment before external peer review. This assessment considers the journal's aims and scope, author guidelines, ethical requirements, originality, and minimum scholarly quality. Manuscripts that do not meet these requirements may be rejected before external peer review.

Manuscripts considered suitable for external review are assigned to an Editor who serves as the Handling Editor for the manuscript. Editors listed on the journal's Editorial Team may be assigned by the Editor-in-Chief to serve as Handling Editors according to their disciplinary or methodological expertise. The Handling Editor coordinates the review process but does not have independent authority to make the final publication decision.

Each manuscript proceeding to external review is evaluated through a double-anonymous peer review process by at least two qualified and independent reviewers with relevant expertise. Authors and reviewers remain anonymous throughout the review process. Reviewers provide independent scholarly assessments and recommendations concerning the manuscript's originality, methodological rigor, clarity, relevance, and contribution to the field. Reviewer recommendations are advisory and do not constitute the journal's final publication decision.

After the reviewers' reports have been received, the Handling Editor evaluates the reports and submits an editorial recommendation to the Editor-in-Chief. Where reviewer reports differ substantially, are insufficient to support an editorial recommendation, or additional expertise is required, the Handling Editor may invite an additional independent reviewer.

The Editor-in-Chief holds final authority over all publication decisions. After considering the manuscript, reviewers' reports, the author's revisions where applicable, and the Handling Editor's recommendation, the Editor-in-Chief makes the final decision to accept the submission, request minor revision, request major revision, or reject the submission. Reviewer recommendations and Handling Editor recommendations remain advisory throughout the editorial process.

Revised manuscripts may be reassessed by the Handling Editor and, where necessary, returned to the original reviewers or sent to another independent reviewer. Manuscripts proceed to copyediting, production, and publication only after final acceptance by the Editor-in-Chief.
