3. Papers Published in the Journal of  King Abdulaziz University: Islamic Economics

The Islamic Economics Institute started issuing its biannual refereed academic journal in 1403H (1983) but since 1434 H (2014), the journal has got to be triannual; the first two issues appear in English in January and July and the last in Arabic in October. Since the last outline of achievements was prepared, six issues have been published: Volume 27: Issue 1, Issue 2 and Issue 3 in English; Volume 28: Issue 1, Issue 2 and Issue 3 in English; Volume 29: Issue 1, 3 in English. This report includes a list of their contents.

The reader may perceive how the journal noticeably developed when Volume 28 was issued. A new section for young researchers has been added in order to encourage the new researchers in the field of Islamic Economics. The ‘Dialogues’ section of that volume includes contributions written by researchers and specialists from such international organizations as the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Financial Time and the London School of Economics.

A glossary of the Arabic and Islamic terminology included in the published articles has also been added in Issue 1 of Volume 27. Brief English definitions of terms have been provided. The list is accumulative as new terms are added in each issue. Moreover, résumés of contributors are also added at the end of their research papers.

This academic year, the journal managed to launch its webpage on the IEI website. Now, it is easy to navigate the old and new issues, to know the publishing conditions, and to contact the editor.
