Jerusalem Studies in Arabic and Islam (JSAI) is a peer-reviewed academic journal, published once a year (if a volume exceeds 500 pages, we will split it and publish two volumes in that year). JSAI appears in print only, but select articles are available for purchase in PDF format through our Orders page.

Print ISSN: 0334-4118

Articles Selection and Review Process

Interested authors are encouraged to submit their articles to the editor for inclusion in JSAI. Articles must be accompanied by abstracts (200 words max) and 5-7 keywords. Both abstracts and keywords must be in English. More details about paper submission and guidelines can be found on our Guidelines for authors page.

Originality

Only original research is accepted by JSAI for publication. Authors assume full responsibility for the content of their papers and research. Papers submitted for consideration in JSAI should not be submitted elsewhere until the evaluation process is complete.

Plagiarism and Research Fraud

JSAI reviews and scrutinizes submitted articles for plagiarism and copyright infringement. In case of suspected plagiarism, we will follow COPE’S guidelines.

Peer Review Policy

Papers submitted to JSAI will be subject to a "double-blind" review process, where the identities of the authors and reviewers are not known to each other.  The reviewers are either appropriate members of the Editorial Board or external evaluators selected at the Editors' discretion. This process usually takes up to ten weeks. At the end of the review process, authors will be notified whether their paper was accepted for publication, accepted pending revision, or rejected. The evaluation and comments will be delivered to the authors anonymously. 

 

Publication Ethics and Malpractice Policy

Research integrity and proper conduct are of the utmost importance to JSAI, being part of the Hebrew University regulations in research. We aim to adhere to the core principles of publication ethics as articulated by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). Please visit COPE’s resources on their website for further details.

All manuscripts and supporting files (including interviews, images, data, infographics, etc.) should conform to the standards of ethical behavior promulgated by COPE.

In case of suspected misconduct, JSAI Editorial Board will consult COPE and HUJI resources in order to address and remedy the issue.

Authors must submit only their own original research and properly acknowledge and cite all sources. Grants and funding should be fully and clearly acknowledged.
