Indonesian Journal of Sharia and Socio-Legal Studies is a peer-reviewed academic journal published and managed by Elkuator Research and Publication. The journal is produced in academic collaboration with IAIN Pontianak, STIS Syarif Abdurrahman Pontianak, and Perkumpulan Dosen Hukum Keluarga Islam (PDHKI) Indonesia, which support its scholarly activities but do not hold ownership or publishing rights. This collaboration reflects a shared commitment to advancing original, high-quality research on the dynamic relationship between Islamic law and society in Indonesia and other Muslim-majority countries. The journal promotes socio-legal and interdisciplinary scholarship that critically examines how Islamic law is interpreted, practiced, institutionalized, and negotiated within diverse social, cultural, political, and legal contexts.

Indonesian Journal of Sharia and Socio-Legal Studies employs a rigorous double-blind peer-review process to ensure the academic quality, relevance, and scholarly contribution of each submission. Published biannually, the journal adheres to open-access principles to facilitate the broad dissemination of knowledge and promote scholarly exchange within both national and international academic communities. It welcomes contributions from scholars and practitioners employing socio-legal, empirical, and interdisciplinary approaches, with particular attention to living fiqh (Islamic jurisprudence) and everyday legal practices; Islamic law and legal pluralism; Islamic institutions, governance, and authority; gender, family, and legal inequality; legal consciousness and dispute resolution; as well as contemporary challenges and technologies shaping legal practices in Muslim societies.
