Every manuscript submitted to Al-Hikmah undergoes a double-blind peer review process starting with an initial review by the Editorial Board members and is independently reviewed by at least two reviewers. The decision for publication, amendment, or rejection is mostly based on their reports/recommendations. The reviewing process takes up to 1-4 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. The Editorial Board members, however, reserve the right to make the final decision on the status of the manuscript with regard to publication.
