Schedule integrity

Islam Realitas is published twice each calendar year, in June and December. The journal is committed to maintaining this declared schedule. The date shown on each issue and article record must reflect the actual online publication date and must not be backdated or manipulated.

If an exceptional circumstance causes a delay, the journal should communicate the delay transparently, preserve the actual publication date in the metadata, and take corrective operational measures. Editorial decisions and issue assignment must never be accelerated in exchange for payment or other non-academic considerations.

Accepted manuscripts

Acceptance does not guarantee immediate placement in a particular issue. Accepted manuscripts proceed through copyediting, author proofing, metadata validation, layout, and final production checks before issue assignment. Issue placement is determined by editorial readiness, thematic coherence where applicable, acceptance chronology, and the journal's publication capacity.

Operational note
The journal should monitor publication punctuality against the June-December schedule and document any exceptional delay. The actual online publication date must remain visible in article and issue metadata.
