Bulletin of the Royal Institute for Inter-Faith Studies (BRIIFS)

About

BRIIFS

THE BULLETIN OF THE ROYAL INSTITUTE FOR INTER-FAITH STUDIES is a refereed annual academic journal that publishes essays, articles, notices and book reviews in English, French, and Spanish. It is published by the Royal Institute for Interfaith Studies, based in Amman, Jordan.

Aims and scope

BRIIFS is intended to provide a venue for interdisciplinary academic inquiry into all fields of the humanities and social sciences that bear upon cultural or civilizational interaction, such as anthropology, archaeology, fine arts, history, literature, politics, and sociology, and to situate cultural contact in a global context.

The scope of articles submitted to the journal need not, therefore, be confined to the Middle East or to any fixed geographical region.

Our intent is to share our experience with interested parties in the region and in the world at large. For this purpose, we look forward to not only a wide international readership for our journal, but also contributions from interested scholars in different parts of the world: the established and the aspiring alike.

Articles appearing in BRIIFS are abstracted and indexed in America: History and Life, Index Theologicus (International Bibliography of Theology and Religious Studies), Google scholar.

Editorial Board

BRIIFS editorial board is the responsible body for ensuring the accurate review and publication of research with precision, guaranteeing the quality and integrity of submitted research papers. The editorial board of the journal consists of the Chairman, Editor and editorial members. The journal’s editorial board follows a process through which submitted research must undergo review and assessment by experts before a decision is made regarding its eligibility for publication.

The editorial board holds the responsibility of preventing the publication of research that does not adhere to research standards and ethics.

The Royal Institute for Inter-faith Studies is committed to providing permanent access to research papers while maintaining their confidentiality.
