Abstract

Islamic manuscripts, with the aim of proposing recommendations to enhance their quality. The study adopts a descriptive-analytical methodology, utilizing a survey approach supported by a checklist covering the essential elements and components of the journals, alongside a review of selected issues.
The findings revealed the existence of 18 journals, out of which 12 were selected for in-depth study. It was noted that most of these journals were established in the 21st century (14 out of 18), and that there remains a pressing need for more journals in countries that possess large manuscript collections. It was also observed that, although publication guidelines exist, adherence to these guidelines is not consistently rigorous across all journals.
Despite most journals being available through Google, there is a strong need for broader inclusion in both Arab and international databases. Furthermore, it is essential for these journals to work towards better implementation of impact factor standards in order to achieve higher-quality metrics, and to strive for inclusion in global impact factor rankings.
