The academic journal *Literary Textology of Contemporary Arabic Texts*—having obtained official authorization from the national commission responsible for the accreditation of scholarly journals—publishes original research articles within the field of contemporary Arabic literature. Affiliated with the Department of Arabic Language and Literature at the University of Mazandaran, the journal operates under the supervision of a Managing Director, an Editor-in-Chief, and an esteemed Editorial Board, in full compliance with the regulations set forth by the national accreditation commission. All submitted manuscripts are reviewed during meetings of the Editorial Board (with the participation of as many members as possible), at which point reviewers are assigned. The outcomes of the peer-review process are subsequently evaluated by the Editorial Board. Only those manuscripts that meet the required standards proceed to publication; under no circumstances is any article published without undergoing a formal peer-review process, being presented to the Editorial Board, and receiving their approval.
The journal’s research scope encompasses any subject related to contemporary Arabic literature. This includes, but is not limited to, contemporary Arabic poetry—whether traditional or modern—as well as the literary works of contemporary Arab poets, the characteristics of literary schools within their poetry, and prose texts such as flash fiction, short stories, novels, and plays. We invite professors of Arabic language and literature, researchers, and writers to familiarize themselves with the journal’s scope and assist the Editorial Board in the selection of high-quality research articles. It is our hope that this nascent yet dynamic journal will, in the future, secure inclusion in reputable academic indices such as the ISC and ISI.
