Electronic Journal of Islamic and Middle Eastern Law

Open Access Philosophy

Due to a variety of reasons, public debates in the field of Islamic and Middle Eastern Law are often based on inadequate understanding, prejudice and biases. Having this in mind, a diligent scientific exploration of the topics in focus is imperative but may not suffice if its results are not accessible to a broader audience. Other reasons in support of the Open Access philosophy include greater visibility of the author in the scientific community, faster and cost-free access to scientific and scholarly information, good findability via search engines and promotion of international and inter-disciplinary collaboration.

In line with this objective, EJIMEL follows the Open Access standard: Published articles are freely available online and for download and EJIMEL does not charge authors to pay any publication fees.
