About the journal
CIJAR publishes original research four times a year, online and open to all. It is multidisciplinary by design, so a paper on Islamic jurisprudence, one on machine learning and one on classroom practice can share an issue, as long as each is rigorous and original. It is published by Wexgrand Academic Press (a division of Wexgrand Private Limited).
The name comes from Córdoba, a medieval city whose libraries brought together scholars from many traditions and fields.
What we set out to do
- Judge every paper on its merits, through double-blind review.
- Keep research free to read, under CC BY 4.0.
- Never charge authors to submit or publish.
- Put different disciplines in conversation.
- Give authors useful feedback, even when the answer is no.
- Hold authors, reviewers and editors to the same ethical rules.
- Keep a permanent, citable record of everything we publish.

Common questions
Can't find your answer? Contact the editors.
Do I need an institutional affiliation?
No. Faculty, research scholars, postgraduate students, independent researchers and practitioners can all submit. Papers are judged on their content alone.
How should I prepare my manuscript?
Send a Word file (.doc or .docx) with the author names removed, plus a separate title page with every author's name, affiliation and email. Include a 150–250 word abstract and 3–6 keywords, set the text in Times New Roman 12 pt with 1.5 spacing, and use one citation style, such as APA, MLA or Chicago, throughout.
The submission guidelines have the details.
Will I have to transfer my copyright?
No. You keep your copyright. We publish under CC BY 4.0, which lets anyone read, share and reuse your article as long as they credit you.
What similarity score is acceptable?
Up to 10% on Turnitin, after excluding references, quotations and common phrases, as the UGC Regulations, 2018 allow. Above that, the paper is withdrawn, and higher levels can lead to further action.
See our research integrity policy for all four levels.
Are there any charges?
None. Submission, review and publication are all free, and so is reading the journal.
When will I hear back?
You'll get an acknowledgement straight away and a first decision usually within 4–6 weeks. Accepted papers are usually published within 6–10 weeks of submission.
