Manuscript Types
An-Nahdah Al-'Arabiyah publishes scholarly contributions within its declared focus and scope. Article categories are assigned during editorial assessment; labels do not exempt submissions from standards of originality, research ethics, transparency, and editorial oversight.
Original Research Articles
Original research articles present a defined problem, critical engagement with prior scholarship, an explicit method or analytical approach, original findings or interpretations, and a defensible contribution to Arabic linguistics, literature, translation, or philology. Studies based on interviews, corpora, manuscripts, audiovisual texts, literary works, or historical archives must describe the selection and analysis of their sources.
Review Articles
Review articles critically synthesize a field of research. They must specify the scope, selection logic, and analytical framework of the review. An annotated list of publications without critical synthesis is insufficient.
Brief Communications
Brief communications present a limited but significant finding, textual discovery, methodological advance, or documented scholarly intervention. Their shortened format does not reduce standards for evidence, citation, and ethical review.
Book Reviews and Scholarly Notes
The journal may consider critical reviews of relevant scholarly books and clearly identified textual or bibliographic notes when these categories are announced for a given issue. The editorial office determines whether such items receive external peer review or direct editorial assessment, and identifies their article type in published metadata.
Special Collections
The same editorial and ethical standards apply to themed collections. Guest editors cannot guarantee acceptance, bypass review, or make final decisions about their own submissions.
Submission Conditions
Manuscripts must be original, not previously published in a materially identical form, and not simultaneously under consideration elsewhere. Preprints, thesis-derived research, conference papers, translated versions, or overlapping publications must be declared so editors can assess originality and transparency case by case.
