Ownership and Management

The journal is published by the Faculty of Ushuluddin and Humanities, State Islamic University Walisongo Semarang, Indonesia. Along with all journals in the university, ownership of the journal belongs to the university. The Faculty of Ushuluddin and Humanities shares responsibilities in managing the journal.

The Faculty of Ushuluddin and Humanities provides funding for the management of the journal for one year. The editorial team was initially selected and appointed by the Dean of the faculty based on an official decree, signed and stamped.

The university provides funding to cover costs associated with the needs of all journals, including annual membership in Crossref, annual membership in DOAJ, Open Journal Systems hosting and maintenance, and others.

The journal is not currently affiliated with any organization.

Based on the above information, the journal will not mislead potential authors and editors about the nature of the journal's owner.

Furthermore, it is important to understand that the journal follows WAME policies on The Relationship Between Journal Editors-in-Chief and Owners. Editor in Chief, faculty, and the university want the journal to be successful, yet they have different roles. The editor in chief’s primary responsibilities are to inform and educate readers, with attention to the accuracy and importance of journal articles, and to protect and strengthen the integrity and quality of the journal and its processes. Faculty and university support the core values and policies of the organization and are ultimately responsible for all aspects of publishing the journal, including its staff, budget, and business policies, as previously mentioned. The relationship between faculty, university, and Editor in Chief is based on mutual respect and trust, and recognition of each other’s authority and responsibilities.

The Editor-in-Chief has full authority over the editorial content of the journal, generally referred to as “editorial independence.” Editorial content includes articles and editorials, both in print and electronic format, and how and when information is published. Faculty and the university do not interfere in the evaluation, selection, or editing of individual articles, either directly or by creating an environment in which editorial decisions are strongly influenced.
