ICR Journal

About the Journal

Islam and Civilisational Renewal (ICR) is an international, double-blind peer-reviewed journal published bi-annually (June and December) by IAIS Malaysia in Kuala Lumpur. It carries articles with actionable policy recommendations, book reviews, and viewpoints on civilisational renewal and aims to promote advanced research on the contribution of Muslims to science and culture. ICR is inter-disciplinary, non-political, and non-sectarian. We seek viable policy-relevant research yielding pragmatic outcomes informed by the best values and teachings of Islam as well as of other contemporary civilisations.

PUBLICATION FREQUENCY

REVIEWING PROCESS

Each manuscript undergoes a double-blind peer review process starting with initial review by the Editorial Board members. If found to be suitable quality, and if the article meets the aims and scope of the journal, it will then be sent to two external reviewers. The reviewing process takes up to two months from the date of receipt of the article. Where manuscript revision is required, authors are urged to ensure that the necessary corrections are made before the manuscript can be accepted for production.
