We examine Turkish and English titles, summaries, and keywords to make sure that they correspond to the field’s terminology. Furthermore, we require proper nouns and concepts/terms to be written in the reference style of TDV Encyclopaedia of Islam. We also particularly require for the articles to use Chicago Manual Style referencing, which is clearly highlighted in our author guidelines.To improve the academic quality of the journal, we have also checked the article up for plagiarism. The articles that are marked with a result above %15 are returned to the authors with a plagiarism report. Submissions went through a double-blind review process for the issue 20/1, and we have not announced the identities of reviewers since 2016.It might be right to note here that we have been getting more attention from scholarly world day by day with our mission and standards. The journal has received 78 articles between January-April 2017 from the Turkish academics. All articles went through the pre-review process to check the referencing and transliteration style before testing them using a plagiarism checker. We then have forwarded the articles that successfully passed the plagiarism check to our reviewers. Following this process, we have been able to offer to you 21 articles.We are delighted to offer you the various ranges of themes and topics with this new issue.
