American Journal of Islam and Society

Aims & Scope

About the Journal Aims & Scope Established in 1984, the American Journal of Islam and Society (AJIS) is an open-access, biannual, double-blind peer-reviewed, and interdisciplinary journal with global reach, published by the International Institute of Islamic Thought (IIIT), and distributed worldwide. In 2020, the journal was renamed from the previous American Journal of Islamic Social Sciences to reflect the evolution of the scholarly landscape and a global community of readers interested in a wider range of topics pertaining to Islam’s role in society. The new name embodies an expanded scope for the Journal and reflects that the social sciences and humanities are interrelated and that Islamic engagement with one requires an examination of the other. The Journal, therefore, welcomes all scholarship pertaining to the myriad ways in which Islam and varied human societies interact. Open Access AJIS is committed to the wide dissemination of knowledge and research. Therefore, in keeping with what is now standard good practice in academic publishing, AJIS has become open access (OA). This means that everyone has free and unlimited access to the full text of all articles published in AJIS . AJIS will continue to be free of charge for authors and will require no fees for manuscript processing and/or publishing materials.
