Abstract

Scholarly refereeing is a system based on editorial mediation; where a paper’s manuscript passes through a cycle or series of reviews, feedback, and modification rounds, before a paper’s proof emerges in its latest version with the highest quality standard for the final reader. The first step begins with the author submitting his paper to the refereed journal, and the next step is taken by the editor who carefully selects the referees (usually two or three peers). When the independent expert referees finish reviewing the paper, the editor collects their well-done reports and makes a decision that is sent to the author (accept, reject or need modifying). This research paper aims to focus on the main issues affecting the quality of referees’ selection (poor choice), the quality of transparent refereeing (anonymity of authors and referees), and the quality of refereeing reports for research in Islamic economics and finance (a large degree of variability). This system represents an essential control mechanism for safeguarding the quality and integrity of published research, through its intended goals of filtering and improving papers. Finally, this research paper concludes with a number of suggestions that contribute to controlling the quality of refereeing for research in Islamic economics and finance. يقوم نظام التّحكيم العلمي على أساس الوساطة التّحريريّة؛ حيث تمرّ الورقة المخطوطة بسلسلة من مراحل التّقويم والتّغذية الرّاجعة والتّعديل قبل ظهور الورقة في نسختها الأخيرة بأعلى معايير الجودة للقارئ النّهائي. تبدأ الخطوة الأُولى من المؤلِّف الذي يتقدّم بورقته إلى المجلّة المحكِّمة، والخطوة التّالية يتّخذها المُحرِّر الذي يختار المحكَّمين بعناية (عادة اثنيْن أو ثلاثة من النّظراء/الأقران). وعندما ينتهي المحكَّمون الخبراء المستقلّون من فحص الورقة؛ يجمع المُحرِّر تقاريرهم الجيِّدة ويتّخذ قرارًا يتمّ إرساله إلى المؤلِّف (قبول أو رفض أو بحاجة إلى تعديل). تهدف هذه الورقة البحثيّة إلى التّركيز على القضايا الرّئيسة المؤثِّرة في جودة انتقاء المحكَّمين (الاختيار الرّديء)، وجودة التّحكيم الشّفّاف (حجب هُويّة المؤلِّفين والمحكَّمين)، وجودة تقارير التّحكيم للبحوث في الاقتصاد والتّمويل الإسلامي (درجة كبيرة من التّفاوت)؛ حيث يُمثِّل هذا النّظام آليّة رقابيّة أساسيّة للحفاظ على جودة وسلامة البحوث المنشورة، من خلال أهدافه المقصودة المتمثِّلة في التّصفية والتّحسين. ختامًا؛ تخلُص الورقة البحثيّة إلى عدد من المقترحات التي تُسْهم في ضبط جودة تحكيم البحوث في الاقتصاد والتّمويل الإسلامي.
