Mamlūk Studies Review is an annual, Open Access,, refereed, peer-reviewed journal devoted to the study of the Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt and Syria (648-922/1250-1517).
The goals of Mamlūk Studies Review are to take stock of scholarship devoted to the Mamluk era, nurture communication within the field, and promote further research by encouraging the critical discussion of all aspects of this important medieval Islamic polity. The journal includes both articles and reviews of recent books.
Ethics Statement
Mamlūk Studies Review, its editors, and its staff are committed to publishing original, high quality, peer-reviewed scholarship while maintaining strict ethical standards in the publishing and review processes. Contributions are evaluated solely on their scholarly merit without regard to the age, ethnicity, gender, religion, nationality, or any other characteristics of their authors. All work submitted to MSR must be the original work of its author(s) or it will not be accepted for publication. Every submission is reviewed by the editors, members of the editorial board, and outside scholars whose specific expertise in the field qualifies them to judge the quality of scholarship, relevance, and originality of the work. Authors' names and other identifiers are not visible to reviewers.
Submissions
Submissions of original work on any aspect of the field are welcome, although the editorial board will periodically issue volumes devoted to specific topics and themes. Mamlūk Studies Review also solicits edited texts and translations of shorter Arabic source materials (waqf deeds, letters, fatawa and the like), and encourages discussions of Mamluk era artifacts (pottery, coins, etc.) that place these resources in wider contexts. An article or book review in Mamlūk Studies Review makes its author a contributor to the scholarly literature and should add to a constructive dialogue.
All questions regarding style should be resolved through reference to the MSR Editorial and Style Guide and The Chicago Manual of Style.
