About the Journal

Ibn Khaldoun Journal for Studies and Researches was established in 2021 as a peer-reviewed academic journal under the supervision of the Ibn Al-Arabi Center for Culture and Publishing, a licensed civil society institution recognized by the Palestinian Ministry of Culture and operating on a non-profit basis. The journal was founded with the aim of providing a scholarly platform that offers research guidance to emerging researchers and assists them in publishing their work in its pages at affordable fees accessible to all. It is noteworthy that the majority of the journal’s revenues are allocated to cover the costs of the international licenses held by the journal.

The journal focuses on publishing research articles, studies, book reviews, critical readings, translations, and scientific experiences in the humanities and social sciences. It also publishes extracted research, summaries of master’s theses, doctoral dissertations, or full theses and dissertations under specific conditions.

The journal is committed to the Kaizen principle of continuous improvement from multiple perspectives. This includes developing its website both technically and content-wise, operating around the clock in search of new licensing opportunities, subscribing to them, integrating into numerous Arab and international databases, and consulting Arab and international experts to continuously align its practices with the standards of leading academic journals.

The journal is named Ibn Khaldoun Journal for Studies and Researches in honor of Ibn Khaldoun, a distinguished pioneer in the social sciences. It is officially registered with the International Center for the Registration of Serial Numbers, with a print ISSN of P-ISSN: 2789-7834 and an electronic ISSN of E-ISSN: 2789-3359. Its website operates using the OJS platform for academic journals and is available in both Arabic and English. The English version is professionally translated, not machine-generated, and represents a complete and accurate counterpart of the Arabic content.
