Peer Review Process

The peer review process is a fundamental method in academic validation, where a submitted manuscript is critically assessed by expert reviewers who possess appropriate expertise in the subject area while maintaining independence from the work. TARBIYA: Journal of Education in Muslim Society adheres to a double-blind peer review process, ensuring that neither the authors nor the reviewers are aware of each other’s identities. To maintain this anonymity, the Editorial Office removes all identifying information from the manuscript before initiating the review process.

All manuscripts submitted to TARBIYA are reviewed by two or more independent reviewers. If the Editor-in-Chief, Associate Editors, or any member of the Editorial Board is a (co-)author of a submitted manuscript, the review process is arranged so that they are not involved in the evaluation or decision-making related to the submission.

All submissions to TARBIYA undergo a fair, independent, objective, and constructive peer review process. Only scientifically sound, original, and relevant articles will receive positive recommendations from reviewers and proceed to acceptance for publication.

The Editor-in-Chief has full authority over the acceptance or rejection of submitted manuscripts. Reviewers are required to maintain confidentiality regarding the manuscripts before acceptance and publication. They must also declare any potential conflicts of interest. If a conflict of interest is identified, the reviewer will be withdrawn from the process. Additionally, reviewers are encouraged to suggest relevant published work that the authors may have overlooked.

Based on the reviewers’ recommendations, the Editor-in-Chief or a designated Editorial Board member will make an initial decision regarding the manuscript:

  1. Accepted – The manuscript is approved for publication.
  2. Revised – The manuscript requires modifications and resubmission.
  3. Rejected – The manuscript does not meet the journal’s criteria.

If a revised version is submitted, it will be re-evaluated by the Editor-in-Chief or an Editorial Board member, who may either:

  • Send it back to the original reviewers for further review, or
  • Make a final decision regarding its publication.

The peer review process at TARBIYA ensures that only high-quality, original, and impactful research is published, maintaining the journal’s commitment to academic excellence.

Budapest Open Access Initiative

An old tradition and a new technology have converged to make possible an unprecedented public good. The old tradition is the willingness of scientists and scholars to publish the fruits of their research in scholarly journals without payment, for the sake of inquiry and knowledge. The new technology is the internet. The public good they make possible is the world-wide electronic distribution of the peer-reviewed journal literature and completely free and unrestricted access to it by all scientists, scholars, teachers, students, and other curious minds. Removing access barriers to this literature will accelerate research, enrich education, share the learning of the rich with the poor and the poor with the rich, make this literature as useful as it can be, and lay the foundation for uniting humanity in a common intellectual conversation and quest for knowledge.

For various reasons, this kind of free and unrestricted online availability, which we will call open access, has so far been limited to small portions of the journal literature. But even in these limited collections, many different initiatives have shown that open access is economically feasible, that it gives readers extraordinary power to find and make use of relevant literature, and that it gives authors and their works vast and measurable new visibility, readership, and impact. To secure these benefits for all, we call on all interested institutions and individuals to help open up access to the rest of this literature and remove the barriers, especially the price barriers, that stand in the way. The more who join the effort to advance this cause, the sooner we will all enjoy the benefits of open access.

The literature that should be freely accessible online is that which scholars give to the world without expectation of payment. Primarily, this category encompasses their peer-reviewed journal articles, but it also includes any unreviewed preprints that they might wish to put online for comment or to alert colleagues to important research findings. There are many degrees and kinds of wider and easier access to this literature. By "open access" to this literature, we mean its free availability on the public internet, permitting any users to read, download, copy, distribute, print, search, or link to the full texts of these articles, crawl them for indexing, pass them as data to software, or use them for any other lawful purpose, without financial, legal, or technical barriers other than those inseparable from gaining access to the internet itself. The only constraint on reproduction and distribution, and the only role for copyright in this domain, should be to give authors control over the integrity of their work and the right to be properly acknowledged and cited.

While  the peer-reviewed journal literature should be accessible online without cost to readers, it is not costless to produce. However, experiments show that the overall costs of providing open access to this literature are far lower than the costs of traditional forms of dissemination. With such an opportunity to save money and expand the scope of dissemination at the same time, there is today a strong incentive for professional associations, universities, libraries, foundations, and others to embrace open access as a means of advancing their missions. Achieving open access will require new cost recovery models and financing mechanisms, but the significantly lower overall cost of dissemination is a reason to be confident that the goal is attainable and not merely preferable or utopian.

To achieve open access to scholarly journal literature, we recommend two complementary strategies.

I. Self-Archiving: First, scholars need the tools and assistance to deposit their refereed journal articles in open electronic archives, a practice commonly called, self-archiving. When these archives conform to standards created by the Open Archives Initiative, then search engines and other tools can treat the separate archives as one. Users then need not know which archives exist or where they are located in order to find and make use of their contents.

II. Open-access Journals: Second, scholars need the means to launch a new generation of journals committed to open access, and to help existing journals that elect to make the transition to open access. Because journal articles should be disseminated as widely as possible, these new journals will no longer invoke copyright to restrict access to and use of the material they publish. Instead they will use copyright and other tools to ensure permanent open access to all the articles they publish. Because price is a barrier to access, these new journals will not charge subscription or access fees, and will turn to other methods for covering their expenses. There are many alternative sources of funds for this purpose, including the foundations and governments that fund research, the universities and laboratories that employ researchers, endowments set up by discipline or institution, friends of the cause of open access, profits from the sale of add-ons to the basic texts, funds freed up by the demise or cancellation of journals charging traditional subscription or access fees, or even contributions from the researchers themselves. There is no need to favor one of these solutions over the others for all disciplines or nations, and no need to stop looking for other, creative alternatives.


Open access to peer-reviewed journal literature is the goal. Self-archiving (I.) and a new generation of open-access journals (II.) are the ways to attain this goal. They are not only direct and effective means to this end, they are within the reach of scholars themselves, immediately, and need not wait on changes brought about by markets or legislation. While we endorse the two strategies just outlined, we also encourage experimentation with further ways to make the transition from the present methods of dissemination to open access. Flexibility, experimentation, and adaptation to local circumstances are the best ways to assure that progress in diverse settings will be rapid, secure, and long-lived.

The Open Society Institute, the foundation network founded by philanthropist George Soros, is committed to providing initial help and funding to realize this goal. It will use its resources and influence to extend and promote institutional self-archiving, to launch new open-access journals, and to help an open-access journal system become economically self-sustaining. While the Open Society Institute's commitment and resources are substantial, this initiative is very much in need of other organizations to lend their effort and resources.

We invite governments, universities, libraries, journal editors, publishers, foundations, learned societies, professional associations, and individual scholars who share our vision to join us in the task of removing the barriers to open access and building a future in which research and education in every part of the world are that much more free to flourish.

Similarity Requirements:

  • The plagiarism/similarity score of the manuscript must be below 20%.

  • Manuscripts exceeding this threshold will be rejected or returned to the authors for revision.

Authors uncertain about best practices for avoiding plagiarism and self-plagiarism are encouraged to refer to academic integrity guidelines from reputable institutions, including:

2. Duplicate (Redundant) Publications

Duplicate or redundant publications occur when an author submits or publishes substantially the same work in multiple venues without proper cross-referencing. This includes overlapping assumptions, data, discussions, or conclusions.

If an article has been previously published in another language, full disclosure of the original source must be provided at the time of submission. Similarly, if an abstract has appeared in a conference proceeding, it may still be submitted to TARBIYA, provided that the prior publication is fully cited. For more details, authors can refer to of COPE’s Guidelines on Good Publication Practice.

If any previously published content is found in a submission without proper attribution or necessary permissions, the Editors-in-Chief will contact the authors for clarification. TARBIYA follows COPE’s official guidelines in handling such cases. Different COPE procedures apply when plagiarism is identified in a published article.
