Authorship and Contributorship Criteria

Maqolat: Journal of Islamic Studies recognizes authorship based on substantial contributions to the conception, design, implementation, analysis, or interpretation of the research, as well as meaningful participation in the preparation and approval of the manuscript.

Any changes to authorship, including the addition, removal, or rearrangement of authors, after manuscript submission must be appropriately justified and approved by all authors. Such changes are subject to the approval of the Editor-in-Chief and may require written confirmation from all authors.

Individuals who provide administrative assistance, general supervision, technical assistance, language editing, or other contributions that do not meet the established authorship criteria should not be listed as authors solely on the basis of those contributions.
