International
Journal of Arabic Linguistics
The International Journal of Arabic Linguistics (IJAL ISSN :
2421-9835) is an online open access peer-reviewed journal that aims at
providing a platform for researchers working on the Arabic language to
disseminate their most recent work. We welcome papers on the linguistic
structure of Arabic as well as its history and its functions in society. The
journal welcomes in particular studies in dialectology, sociolinguistics,
historical linguistics, and other areas in which the focus is more on data than
on theory. In other words, the journal does not adhere to any particular
linguistic theory but rather encourages research on new data that can give rise
to new issues, or works that provide new approaches to old ones.
In addition to research papers, the journal also publishes
book reviews. These are intended primarily for readers of Arabic who cannot
read works published in other languages. We have noticed that many influential
studies by non-Arab scholars are not very well-known among native students of
Arabic linguistics. Therefore, review articles are required to be written in
the Arabic language.
The journal charges no fees on the submission, processing or
publication of manuscripts. Papers accepted for publication may not be republished
elsewhere without the permission of IJAL's editor

research journal produced by the Institute of Muslim Minority Affairs (IMMA) as
part of its publication programme. Published since 1979, the journalhas firmly
established itself as a highly respected and widely acclaimed academic and scholarly
publication providing accurate, reliable and objective information.
Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs provides a forum for
frank but responsible discussion of issues relating to the life of Muslims in
non-Muslim societies. The journalhas become increasingly influential as the
subject of Muslim minorities has acquired added significance. About 500 million
Muslims, fully one third of the world Muslim population of 1.5 billion, live as
minorities in 149 countries around the globe. Even as minorities they form
significant communities within their countries of residence. What kind of life
do they live? What are their social, political and economic problems? How do
they perceive their strengths and weakness? What above all, is their future in
Islam and in the communities of their residence? The journal explores these and
similar questions from the Muslim and international point of view in a serious
and responsible manner.
Journal of Muslim Minority Affairs is the only scholarly
journal studying Muslim communities in non-Muslim societies. It provides a
wealth of information about these communities that cannot be found anywhere
else in documented form. The journal has opened up a new area of specialisation
in minority studies with original articles addressing the minority condition
from the historical, demographic, social and economic perspective. Our research
interests extend to include non-Muslim minorities living in Muslim societies,
interfaith dialogue to promote understanding and the study of Muslim minority
women, the minorities’ minority. The journal has indeed pioneered the way in
examining theoretical and conceptual issues that define and explain the
minority experience.

cultural force, encompassing Iran, Afghanistan and Tajikistan, as well as the
Caucasus, Central Asia, the Indian Subcontinent, and parts of the former
Ottoman Empire. Its focus on the linguistic, cultural and historical role and
influence of Persian culture and Iranian civilization in this area is based on
a recognition that knowledge flows from pre-existing facts but is also
constructed and thus helps shape the present reality of the Persianate world.

counteract the distortions of the area’s common historical memory and
civilizational continuity by the divisive forces of modern nationalism and imperialism.

Symposium (CAPS), and provides a forum for the academic study of all Middle
Eastern literatures. Works on literature composed in, for example, Persian,
Turkish, post-Biblical and modern Hebrew, Kurdish, or Urdu are welcomed.
Regional literatures of the area, such as the Arabic, French, and Tamazight
("Berber") literature from North Africa, also fall within the scope
of the journal. The editors welcome high quality scholarly contributions (in
English, French, or German) devoted to aspects of either one or several of the
literatures of the Middle East, whether classical or modern.
Our project is eclectic. Middle Eastern Literatures
encourages studies of a cross- and multi-linguistic nature that focus on
East-West (and/or East-East) relations. Articles that examine the relationship
of literature with other arts and media (visual arts, music, theatre, and film)
will also be welcomed. The editors encourage the submission of translations of
literary texts, accompanied by an introduction and full bibliographical
details. From time to time, the journal will publish special issues focusing on
a particular aspect of the literatures of the Middle East.
In a wider sense, our project aims at broadening available
networks of communication. The journal hopes to promote a dialogue between
scholars of Middle Eastern literatures and their colleagues working in other
academic disciplines and world regions, and particularly those who are engaged
in the study of other literatures (Western and non-Western alike). The aim is
to foster an active exchange of views and information. To that end the journal
will provide regular bibliographies of books and articles and will maintain a
comprehensive book review section.

Mideo
MIDEO—Miscellanies of the Dominican Institute for Oriental Studies in
Cairo—is a periodical set up in 1954 by IDEO’s first members. These
Miscellanies are mostly academical contributions from the members of the
Institute and from scholars collaborating with them. Its articles are in
French, in English or in Arabic.
Meeting the objectives of the Institute, MIDEO publishes
original works on Islam according to its sources; it focuses on theological and
philosophical issues as well as on the history of doctrines. It aims at moving
beyond the mutual misunderstandings that exist between our cultural and
religious traditions, and this through in-depth research. It pays a close
attention to the contemporary evolutions of scholarly research on these topics.
Oriens
Oriens is dedicated to extending our knowledge of
intellectual history and developments in the rationalist disciplines in Islamic
civilization, with a special emphasis on philosophy, theology, and science.
These disciplines had a profoundly rich and lasting life in Islamic
civilization and often interacted in complex ways--from the period of their
introduction to Islamic civilization in the translation movement that began in
the eighth century, through the early and classical periods of development, to
the post-classical age, when they shaped even such disciplines as legal theory
and poetics. The journal's range extends from the early and classical to the
early modern periods (ca. 700-1900 CE) and it engages all regions and languages
of Islamic civilization. In the tradition of Hellmut Ritter, who founded Oriens
in 1948, the central focus of interest of the journal is on the medieval and
early modern periods of the Near and Middle East. Within this framework, the
opening up of the sources and the pursuit of philological and historical
research based on original source material is the main concern of its editors
and contributors. In addition to individual articles, Oriens welcomes proposals
for thematic volumes within the series.
Oriente
Moderno
Oriente Moderno was founded in 1921 by Carlo Alfonso Nallino and directed by

Kultur‹ und versteht sich als ein wissenschaftliches Forum zur Förderung des
Dialogs zwischen iranischer und deutscher Kultur. Die Prägung beider Kulturen
kennt nicht nur Differenzen, sondern auch viele Gemeinsamkeiten und
Überlappungen. Spektrum Iran legt einen Kulturbegriff zugrunde, der es
ermöglicht, die Berührungen und wechselseitigen Befruchtungen beider Kulturen
in Geschichte und Gegenwart darzustellen. Es stellt verschiedene Dimensio-nen
und Facetten der islamisch-iranischen Kultur vor, um eine fundierte Grundlage
für einen solchen offenen Dialog zu schaffen. Hierzu werden vernachlässigte
Quellen herangezogen, um die Vielfalt philosophischer, religiöser sowie
wissenschaftlicher Zugänge zur modernen Welt neu zu durchdenken.
Spektrum Iran sieht sich verpflichtet, Grundpositionen und
Perspekti-ven sowie Schlüsselfragen der Wissenschaft, Politik und Philosophie
kri-tisch zu würdigen. Zur Darstellung kommen auch die Besonderheiten der Kunst
und Architektur der iranischen Geschichte und Gegenwart. Spektrum Iran
erscheint viermal jährlich und steht allen Interessierten zur Mitarbeit offen,
die eine interkulturelle bzw. interreligiöse Verständi-gung im Geiste
wertschätzender Toleranz und Anerkennung suchen. Spektrum Iran folgt den
Richtlinien von COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics).
Studia
Islamica
Studia Islamica was created in 1953 by Robert Brunschvig and Joseph Schacht.
Brill publishes this journal from 2013 on. Studia Islamica offers to the
learned public, and not to Islamic scholars only, papers written by qualified
specialists on subjects from all sections of the vast field of Islamic studies.
Special attention is paid to discussions of method to comprehensive views, and
to new conclusions.
Studies in
Islamic Law and Society
Studies in Islamic Law and Society accommodates monographs,
collections of essays, critical editions of texts with annotated translation,
and reference works whose subject-matter lies within the field of classical and
modern Islamic law. Both the study of legal texts and legal discourse and the
study of the social circumstances in which law has been and is being shaped -
the reciprocity of influence of law on society and society on law - are
integral to the series, and works representing either type of study or both
will be considered for inclusion. Studies in Islamic Law and Society provides a
focal point for scholars researching Islamic law both as a medium in its own
right and as a phenomenon inviting historical and social analysis.

scholars from all over the world, dealing with Turkic and Ottoman studies
(peoples, languages, cultures, states...). While occasionally giving a place to
a thematic « special features » section about some innovative subject, Turcica
gives a priority to unsolicited papers, to afford some visibility to original
going on research. It proposes as well as an important section of book reviews,
which allows to follow the scientific activity in the field.
The papers are reviewed by two referees, and afterwards submitted to the
editorial committee.
In the diverse scientific fields covered, Turcica does its best to keep the
