About the Journal

The Australian Journal of Islamic Studies is an international, open access, continuous publishing, double-blind peer-reviewed journal dedicated to the scholarly study of Islam and Muslims. Contributions are encouraged from disciplines and sub-disciplines related to the study of Islam and Muslims; these may include theology, philosophy, sociology, jurisprudence, contemporary studies, comparative religion, spirituality, Qur’anic and Sunnah studies, and history. While case studies and fieldwork are welcome, submissions should clearly demonstrate how their findings contribute to broader theoretical, social, or global discussions in the study of Islam and Muslims.

The journal ensures immediate open access to its content, based on the view that freely accessible research advances the international circulation of knowledge. It is indexed in Scopus, reflecting its growing international reach and scholarly engagement.

AJIS follows a continuous publishing model, whereby articles are published online individually as soon as they have completed the peer-review and production process. Articles are then added to the relevant issue as they become ready for publication. The journal publishes multiple issues annually, including regular and special issues.

Special issues of the journal may also be published and are overseen by Guest Editors.

AJIS is managed by Associate Professor Zuleyha Keskin (Editor-in-Chief), Dr Suleyman Sertkaya (Managing Editor), Dr Jan A. Ali (Book Review Editor), and Dr Carol Mroue (Assistant Editor).

The journal is published by ISRA Academy.
