First Part: Tips For Submitting an Article
1- User registration: Click on the "Author Registration" option on the right side of the page. For university faculty members (professors, associate professors, assistant professors), please include your academic rank when completing your profile (being a member of the faculty is not sufficient). After completing the information and receiving your username and password, you can submit your article. It is important to note that by registering once in the journal system, an author can submit articles to all journals available in the electronic journal database of the University of Quran and Hadith, meaning that one registration is sufficient for each user. University faculty members, after logging into the system, should go to the "Settings" section and enter their personal information. If they do not wish to review articles, they must select the appropriate option. If they are willing to review articles, they should select the "I am willing to review" option.
It is mandatory for authors to complete the following forms and sign them.
conflict of interest form and commitment letter
When selecting the journal, please ensure that the article is submitted to the intended journal and that the name of another journal is not mistakenly selected.
Before uploading the file, please ensure:
- Upload exactly one file of the "Main text of the article" and one file containing the authors' details;
- Ensure that the article file is attached without mentioning the authors' names and addresses;
- Please only upload files with English names;
- The "Supplementary Text" file will not be shown to the reviewer(s).
Important note: Access the system with the role of "Author." After logging into the system, reviewers can change their role to "Reviewer" to review the articles submitted by the editorial board.
Important Note: Receipt of payment for review and article publication: For each article submitted for review and publication, a fee of 2/000/000 Rials will be charged. Upon confirmation, the esteemed author should deposit the amount into the following account:
Account Number: .............
Account Name: .....................................
Deposit ID: ................................
IBAN: ......................................
The responsible author is required to scan the bank receipt after depositing the required amount and upload it as an attachment in the "File Upload" section.
Important Note: The article is only submitted once with a specific tracking code for the journal. Therefore, the responsible author is kindly requested not to submit the corrected article as a new article with a separate tracking code after receiving the reviewers' comments. This is because the original tracking code's records are accessible, and the new article will be placed in the initial review stage like other articles. Furthermore, refrain from sending the article file via email to the executive editor or editor-in-chief.
If two months have passed since the initial review and initial acceptance by the executive editor, and the article is in the "under review" status without receiving a response, please contact the journal's editor.
