Articles submitted for publication must adhere to the following guidelines:
The title must not exceed 20 words and should represent the formal object, material object, and context of the research. Use Book Antiqua 14 pt, bold, for the title. Identify the corresponding author and provide each author's affiliation and a valid email address in the submission metadata. Remove names, affiliations, acknowledgements that disclose identity, and identifying file properties from the manuscript sent for double-anonymous review.
Abstracts must state the core research problem, the method, the principal findings, and the conclusions. Use Book Antiqua 11 pt for abstracts and provide 3–5 keywords or phrases in both English and Indonesian. Keywords should reflect the theme, findings, and significant concepts of the article.
The Introduction should explain what is already known, what remains unresolved, the research questions, and the article's contribution to Qur'anic studies, media and communication studies, or related interdisciplinary debates. Explain the research method clearly, including the sources or materials, selection procedures, and analytical approach. The method may be described within the Introduction when appropriate to the structure of the study.
Results and Discussion should form a continuous section that presents the main findings followed by supporting findings and their interpretation. Integrate tables and figures into the discussion and identify their sources. The Conclusion must address the questions raised in the Introduction and explain the implications of the findings without merely repeating the abstract or the full discussion.
Include at least 30 references, with at least 40% drawn from primary sources or journals. References should be recent, generally from the last 5–10 years, while foundational works and primary materials may be used where relevant. References must be publicly accessible, complete, accurate, and cited in the manuscript; uncited entries should be removed. Apply Chicago Manual of Style, 17th edition, full-note citations and an alphabetically arranged bibliography.
Submit the manuscript through the journal's OJS submission system. Complete the submission checklist to declare originality, agreement of all authors, and compliance with research and publication ethics. Obtain permission for third-party materials and disclose funding, conflicts of interest, and substantive use of generative AI. AI tools cannot be listed as authors; authors remain responsible for accuracy and integrity.
JQMS uses double-anonymous peer review by at least two independent reviewers for manuscripts that pass editorial screening. Turnitin is used for similarity assessment. Scores below 20% may proceed subject to editorial assessment; scores of 20–40% require contextual examination and may require revision; scores above 40% will generally lead to rejection. The editor considers the nature and extent of overlap rather than making decisions from a score alone.
Submission, review, and publication are free of charge. There is no paid fast-track service. The target from submission to final editorial decision is approximately 12 weeks, depending on reviewer availability and the extent and timeliness of revisions; this is not a guarantee of acceptance or a fixed publication date.
