Manuscripts submitted will be expected to contain original work and should not have been published in an abridged or other form elsewhere. Acceptance of a paper will imply assignment of copyright by its author to the Islamic Research Academy, but the author will be free to use his material in subsequent publication written or edited by the author provided that acknowledgment is made of Journal of Islamic Jerusalem Studies as the place of original publication.
