Journal of Muslim Minority
Affairs
remains the
only journal in the world committed to scholarly and systematic study of
Muslim minority communities living in non-Muslim societies. Our focus is on studying the social,
economic, political and demographic situation of these communities, and our
interest extends to include the situation of non-Muslim communities living
in Muslim societies, with the objective of widening our understanding of
the minority experience.
Starting from Volume 25, 2005, JMMA is published three
times a year in April, August and December.
It welcomes submissions of previously unpublished research articles
and book reviews from all interested scholars and students of minority
affairs. To further the intellectual
discourse, JMMA invites comments on articles in preceding
issues as well as information, announcements and reports on current events
relevant to the minority experience, for which space is provided under the
Spectrum section.
JMMA is a refereed journal and acceptance of full-length
articles for publication is subject to peer-review. All manuscripts should be submitted in
two hard copies, typed and double-spaced.
Electronic Submissions.
Authors should send the final, revised version of their articles in
electronic form as Microsoft Word e-mail attachments. It is essential that the hard copy
(paper) version exactly matches the version sent by e-mail. Please print out the hard copy from the
attachment you are sending and submit two copies to the journal’s
editorial office in London.
Articles submitted for consideration of publication must not have been
previously published in English or in any other language, and must not have
been submitted simultaneously to any other journal for consideration of
publication. Upon publication,
authors will receive fifty off-prints and one copy of the issue in which it
appears. Additional off-prints may
be ordered from the publishers, Carfax
Publishing, Taylor and Francis Ltd., Customer Services Department, Rankine Road,
Basingstoke, Hants RG24 8PR, UK.
Style of References
No bibliographical references should be inserted
within the text. They should be
included under NOTES and numbered consecutively and grouped together at the
end of the article after proper referencing throughout the text. The style of citation in Notes should be
as follows:

Early Electronic Off-Prints
Corresponding authors can now receive their article by

them to colleagues. In many cases
this facility will be available up to two weeks prior to publication. Or, alternatively, corresponding authors
will receive the traditional 50 off-prints.
A copy of the journal will be sent by post to all corresponding
authors after publication.

author’s preferential rate of £15.00/$25.00 per copy.

It is a
condition of publication that authors vest copyright in their articles,
including abstracts, in the Institute

protection and to disseminate the article, and the journal, to the widest
possible readership in print and electronic formats as appropriate. Authors may, of course, use the article
elsewhere after publication without prior permission from Taylor &
Francis, provided that acknowledgement is given to the Journal as the
