The Mesopotamian Journal of Arabic Language Studies (MJALS) follows a single-blind review process, where the reviewers' identities remain anonymous to the authors. The journal accepts manuscripts in both Arabic and English and uses ScholarOne (Clarivate) to manage submissions. All papers must present original, unpublished work and not be under consideration elsewhere.

Before peer review, the editorial board ensures submissions align with the journal’s mission and scope. Each manuscript is reviewed by at least two independent reviewers. Reviewers know the authors’ identities, while authors remain unaware of the reviewers’ identities.

If a paper receives a negative review, it will be re-evaluated by a second reviewer. If both reviews are negative, the paper will not be accepted. Authors may receive reviewer feedback and must submit revisions within a set deadline before a final publication decision is made.

Authors wishing to withdraw their paper must submit a withdrawal form to the editorial board. Authors are responsible for adhering to MJALS’s formatting and ethical guidelines. MJALS does not pay copyright fees for published papers.
