TopAuthor Guidelines

The Muslim World

The Muslim World is a refereed academic journal published twice a year. The journal provides articles written by qualified specialists in the area of Islamic Studies and Christian-Muslim Relations.

Contributions and Editorial Correspondence

Manuscripts submitted to the journal should be sent to:
The Editors
The Muslim World
Hartford Seminary
77 Sherman Street
Hartford
CT 06105
USA

When submitting a manuscript, the author guarantees that the same manuscript or a similar version has not been submitted to any other journal or publication. If the author wishes to send the article elsewhere before the editors of The Muslim World have acted on its acceptance, the author should withdraw the article from consideration by The Muslim World.

Copyright Assignment Form
Authors will be required to assign copyright in their paper to The Hartford Seminary. Copyright assignment is a condition of publication and papers will not be passed to the publisher for production unless copyright has been assigned. To assist authors an appropriate copyright assignment form will be supplied by the editorial office. Alternatively, authors may like to download a copy of the form here (Government employees need to complete the Author Warranty sections, although copyright in such cases does not need to be assigned).

Manuscript Preparation and Style

Articles must be submitted in English and should not exceed 30 pages of typescript. A manuscript must be double spaced, with pages numbered consecutively and references (including full biographical notes) placed as footnotes to the text. References should follow the style of the following examples, with titles italicized and not underlined:

a) Book: Amin Maalouf, The Crusades Through Arab Eyes (New York: Schocken Books, 1984), 97.

b) Chapter: Antonie Wessels, "Some Biblical Considerations Relevant to the Encounter Between Traditions," in Christian-Muslim Encounters, eds. Y.Y. Haddad and W.Z. Haddad (Gainesville, FL: University Press of Florida, 1995), 54-64.

c) Journal article: Abdullahi Ahmed An-Na'im, "Human Rights in the Muslim World: Socio-Political Conditions and Scriptural Imperatives," Harvard Human Rights Journal 3/4 (1987): 13-52.

Text hardcopy should be accompanied by a disk formatted for Microsoft Word for Windows.

The journal uses the system of Arabic characters adopted by the Encyclopedia of Islam, New Edition, with the following exceptions: 1) no line under th, kh, dh, sh, gh; 2) j instead of dj, q instead of k. Transliterated words should be rendered in italics each time they appear. Terms common to English usage, e.g. those found in a recent unabridged dictionary, should not be italicized.
