The Journal of Islamic Education Management (JIEM) is committed to publishing scholarly articles periodically and regularly to ensure the consistent dissemination of the latest research in the field of Islamic education management. To achieve this goal, JIEM implements a publication frequency of twice a year. The first issue is typically published in February, while the second issue is released in August. This regular publication schedule allows authors to better plan their manuscript submissions and readers to consistently anticipate new content. The JIEM editorial team works diligently to adhere to this schedule, ensuring each issue contains a collection of high-quality articles that have undergone a rigorous peer-review process.
Consistency in publication frequency is one of the important indicators of a scholarly journal's professionalism and sustainability. With two issues per year, JIEM ensures a stable flow of research articles, which is crucial for maintaining the journal's relevance and impact within the academic community. This frequency also provides ample time for the editorial team to manage a meticulous review process, communicate with authors, and perform necessary edits for each accepted manuscript. We believe that this schedule is optimal for balancing publication speed with a commitment to high editorial quality.
Publishing twice a year also supports JIEM's efforts to expand its indexing reach and improve journal metrics. Indexing databases often consider publication consistency as one of the important criteria. Therefore, adherence to the established schedule is a top priority. Authors are expected to consider this publication schedule when planning their manuscript submissions, especially if they are targeting publication in a specific issue. JIEM will continue to strive to maintain and even increase its publication frequency in the future as the volume of received quality manuscripts grows.
