Please consider the following creteria:

  • The article should present bibliography which entails primary sources--books, manuscripts, interviews, or observation--and updated secondary sources from books or peer reviewed journals
  • The article should contain an argument/thesis/finding which contribute to scholarly discussion in a field of study which should clearly be mentioned and systematically presented in abstract, content, and conclusion
  • The article should use good English, or at least can be understood; the author is fully responsible in fixing and editing English; the copy editor of At-Tafkir is responsible only for minor typos and understandable grammatical erros
  • The style and format, including the structure of article, footnotes, bibliography, should follow those of At-Tafkir
