Author Guidelines

International Journal of Islamic Economics and Business Sustainability (IJIEBS)

Format and Structure

Article files should be in Microsoft Word format. The main structure of the article is as follows:

  • Introduction
  • Literature Review
  • Research Methods
  • Results and Discussion
  • Conclusion
  • References
  • Appendices (if applicable)

Article Length

Articles should be between 5,000 and 7,000 words, including all text (abstract, references, tables, figures, appendices).

Article Title

A concise and clear title should be provided.

Author Details

All contributing authors must be listed, and the details should include:

  • Full name (including any middle names/initials)
  • Affiliation during the research period
  • Corresponding author’s email address

Authors contributing significantly must be listed; those who provided support can be acknowledged in a separate section.

Structured Abstract

The maximum length of the abstract is 250 words, including keywords and article classification. The abstract should include the following sections:

  • Purpose
  • Design/methodology/approach
  • Findings
  • Implications
  • Originality/value

Include up to 5 short keywords that capture the topics of the paper.

Headings

Use concise headings with a clear hierarchy: Bold for first-level headings, and italics for sub-headings.

Figures

Use the highest resolution/quality possible. Acceptable formats: .ai, .eps, .jpeg, .png, .bmp, .tif. Number figures with Arabic numerals (e.g., 1, 2) and provide clear captions. Figures should be referenced in the text at their first mention.

Tables

Tables should be created using the "Insert Table" function within Microsoft Word, rather than being pasted as images. Include the tables directly within the manuscript. Number tables with Arabic numerals (e.g., 1, 2) and ensure that each table has a clear and descriptive caption, which should be placed above the table.

References

Use a recognized APA style and follow its specific formatting for different types of sources, including books, journals, conference papers, and online resources. Provide DOIs if available and ensure consistency and accuracy.

Notes/Endnotes

Use only if necessary. Number notes consecutively with square brackets (e.g., [1], [2]), and list them at the end of the article.

Acknowledgements

Include these at the end of the Word document. Research funding sources should be acknowledged and include a description of the funder's role.
