Peer Review Policy

The peer review process is one of the most important and fundamental components in the publication process. The credibility and reputation of a journal mainly depend on the integrity of the peer review process and the trust of authors.

Being an HEC recognized/accredited journal, Hamdard Islamicus follows peer review guidelines of HEC in true letter and spirit. All papers submitted to Hamdard Islamicus undergo a rigorous internal and external review by experts in the relevant area of interest

 

Internal Review

Each paper goes through an internal review by a relevant editorial board/ team member to determine whether it is properly formatted and follows the publication ethics. The member would also consider whether basic protocols of research have been followed in research design/analysis and contribution to the literature. At Hamdard Islamicus proper desk review process has been employed where articles must go through a process of passing a desk rejection/acceptance system before sending to an expert of the field, papers that do not meet the basic requirements are not sent out for external review.

 

 

External Review

Hamdard Islamicus follows a double-blind review process after a paper is screened through the internal review. Authors are requested not to include their personal information in the text of the paper. They are further indicated not to post their papers on any website to prevent their identity to the potential reviewers. While reviewers are also expected to refuse if they come to know about the identification of the author(s) of a paper referred to them for peer review.

External reviewers generally comment and suggest originality, quality of presentation, research design, data/results/conclusions, the usefulness of the study, and interest to the researcher's community. During an external review, if reviewers find that the research paper has major flaws that cannot be resolved through a major revision, they can recommend declining the paper.

 

Suggesting Reviewers

Following the HEC guidelines in letter and spirit, authors submitting their research papers to Hamdard Islamicus are not given an option to suggest potential reviewers for reviewing their research papers. While authors may indicate those scholars (due to any real or perceived conflict of interest) to whom they feel not suitable to serve as reviewers for their specific paper.

 

Criteria for Selection of Reviewers

Reviewers are selected carefully based on the following criteria:

  1. Must hold a Ph.D. degree or advance professional qualification with extensive professional/academic experience, i.e. CFA, CMA etc.
    2. Recognized well reputed expert in the field (having publications in reputable academic or professional research journals).
    3. Never coauthored a paper with the author(s).
    4. Not affiliated with the institution of author(s).
    5. Should have a good understanding of data analysis.

    Others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research should be acknowledged for their contribution in an "Acknowledgement" section.

  2. Changes in Authorship
    The authors are fully responsible to provide the names of the authors upon submitting the article to the journal. Once the article is accepted for publication, any addition, deletion, or rearrangement of the authors’ names will not be entertained unless approved by the journal’s editor.

  5. Anonymous Authorship
    Since authorship should be transparent and requires public accountability, it is not appropriate to use pseudonyms or to publish scientific reports anonymously. In extremely rare cases, when the author can make a credible claim that attaching his or her name to the document could cause serious hardship (e.g., a threat to personal safety or loss of employment), a journal editor may decide to publish anonymous content.

  6. Acknowledgment
    In the Acknowledgments section, authors may wish to include the names and contributions of those whose involvement in a study did not qualify them for authorship (because of the journal policy) but have contributed to the article in some way.

  7. Duplicate Submission
    Articles that are found to have been published elsewhere, or are under consideration for publishing elsewhere, will be considered as "duplicated" material. In case the author(s) have used their own previously published work (or work that is currently under review), they are asked to cite the previous work and indicate how their submitted manuscript offers novel contributions and adds value differently (from the previous work).

  8. Citation Manipulation
    Submitted manuscripts that are found to include citations in order to increase the number of citations to a given author’s work, or to articles published in a particular journal, will be considered as a "citation manipulation"-containing material.

 

Policy and principles of research data

Making available data for other researchers helps and supports the development of knowledge and makes the research process more effective. The nature of data varies from field to field but generally, it is the observations, experiments, and samples that confirm the results of previous findings and are not published as a journal paper. There are different formats of researcher data such as processed data, raw data, clean data, software, estimation techniques, methods, protocols, and research materials. Hamdard Islamicus is playing an important role to support researchers in terms of data availability. Hamdard Islamicus also encourage researchers to make data available which they used in their research for other researchers to benefits from them and used in their research as well.

 

Principles of research data

The following principles are followed by Hamdard Islamicus:

  • Encourage researchers to share research data where appropriate
  • Researchers are asking to make data available for other researchers to benefits from them and may use in their research.
  • Make it easier for researchers to be in line with data management requirements, such as supporting data availability statements to enhance transparency.
  • Research data vary among different fields of study, specific permission may be requested and requirements may be taken into account where needed.
  • Equal opportunity will be provided to all researchers in order to effectively reuse research data.

 

Rules for Details of Contribution of each researcher in the research paper

Contribution of each author in detail means which author has contributed to which part of the paper, for example, if there are two authors one contributed by writing introduction and literature while the second author contributed by doing analysis, estimation, writing results, interpretation, and conclusion.
