Author Guidelines

The Journal of Islamic Economics Lariba (JIELariba) is a peer-reviewed, international open-access journal dedicated to publishing high-quality scholarly works in the domain of Islamic economics. The journal aligns itself with the Global Islamic Economy Index (GIEI), emphasizing the relevance of Sharia-compliant practices in today’s dynamic economic environment. It welcomes original contributions that demonstrate scholarly rigor, innovation, and relevance to contemporary Islamic economic challenges. The primary focus includes, but is not limited to, Islamic finance and banking, halal food systems, Muslim-friendly tourism, modest fashion, halal pharmaceuticals and cosmetics, as well as Islamic media and recreation. Articles exploring broader or emerging themes within Islamic economics that are grounded in empirical research or theoretical development are also considered.

JIELariba encourages submissions in the form of original research articles. Original research articles, typically ranging between 5,000 and 7,000 words, should present novel findings supported by rigorous methodology and substantial academic contribution. 

Manuscripts should be written in fluent American English (recommended). Submissions are expected to follow standard academic conventions and display clarity, coherence, and grammatical precision. Authors whose first language is not English are encouraged to seek professional language editing before submission. Manuscripts must comply with formal and academic language rules, ensuring readability and scholarly tone. The use of inclusive and unbiased language is strongly recommended in all submissions.

Each manuscript must be structured systematically to facilitate clarity and comprehension. The essential components include a clear and concise title (no more than 15 words), the names and institutional affiliations of all contributing authors (with ORCID identifiers where possible), and a structured abstract between 150 and 250 words. The abstract should succinctly convey the purpose, methodology, principal results, and significance of the study. Authors should also provide 5 to 7 relevant keywords in alphabetical order to assist in indexing and discoverability. Authors may supply up to four JEL codes and up to four KAUJIE codes. The main body of the article should be organized into logical sections, typically: Introduction, Literature Review, Method, Results, Discussion, and Conclusion. Supplementary sections such as acknowledgments and funding information may be included as necessary.

Formatting should be standardized to ensure consistency across all published works. Manuscripts must be typed in the latest version of Microsoft Word or other software using the default font, 12-point size, with double line spacing and 1.5-inch margins on all sides. The article length should range between 5.000 to 7.000 words. Authors must include page numbers and clearly distinguish headings and subheadings to aid readability. Tables, figures, and appendices should be properly labeled and referenced in the main text.

For referencing, JIELariba adheres to the APA Style (7th edition). All in-text citations and reference entries must conform to this format. References should be thorough and include all cited works, covering academic books, journal articles, credible websites, and primary sources. Authors are responsible for the accuracy and completeness of their citations. To do so, using Zotero as reference management software is highly recommended. Other software, such as Mendeley, EndNote, and others, is also welcome.

All submissions must be made through the journal’s official online platform. Each manuscript undergoes a rigorous double-blind peer review by at least two qualified reviewers. The editorial team assesses initial submissions for compliance with the journal’s scope and standards. Authors will receive one of four decisions: acceptance, minor revision, major revision, or rejection. Articles requiring revision will be returned with detailed reviewer comments. Authors are expected to revise and resubmit their manuscripts promptly.

JIELariba upholds strict ethical standards in scholarly publishing. Submitted manuscripts must be original and not under consideration by any other publication. Plagiarism, including self-plagiarism, is strictly prohibited. Authors must fully disclose any financial support or potential conflicts of interest. Ethical clearance should be obtained for studies involving human subjects, and proper consent must be documented when applicable.
