Dear authors,
According to the new approach of the biannual journal Ketab Qayyim and in order to enhance the journal’s credibility in national and international scientific communities, official ranking and accreditation systems, and indexing in international databases such as DOAJ and Scopus, it has been decided that, after article acceptance, an extended abstract and references in English with the following specifications must be prepared based on the latest revised version of the article by the author and submitted via the journal website. Moreover, from now on, all accepted articles in Ketab Qayyim must be formatted according to the templates provided below. Please read the files carefully after your article’s acceptance and prepare your manuscript according to the specified standards:

• Ketabe Qayyem Accepted Articles Template

Due to the journal’s indexing in international databases, registration and display of a free ORCID iD and an academic email for all article authors (especially the corresponding author) is mandatory. Therefore, authors are kindly requested to obtain their ORCID researcher ID and academic email prior to submission.
