PUBLISHER GOVERNANCE

PUBLISHER IDENTITY AND OPERATIONAL INDEPENDENCE

SUKUK: International Journal of Banking, Finance, Management and Business (ISSN: 2978-316X) is published as a fully autonomous scholarly entity by SUKUK Journal, United Kingdom, which holds sole legal, institutional, and editorial responsibility for all published works. While the journal maintained preliminary administrative collaborations and organizational partnerships during its initial establishment and launch phase, those historical arrangements have fully concluded. SUKUK Journal now functions with complete structural, financial, and operational independence as an unconstrained, self-governing publication entity.

Under this independent operational framework, no former organizational partners, founding sponsors, or external entities retain legal ownership, administrative authority, or governance rights over the journal or its published content. All operational workflows—ranging from manuscript intake and editorial oversight to metadata curation and publisher portal management—are directed exclusively under the single, verified identity of SUKUK Journal. This unified governance structure guarantees complete publisher transparency, clear institutional accountability, and total alignment across all global indexing databases and official records.

Institutional Accountability and Financial Transparency To ensure absolute publishing accountability and eliminate external institutional influences, SUKUK Journal operates under a fully sponsored Open Access framework. The publisher assumes sole administrative and financial responsibility for journal operations, ensuring that authors are never subjected to Article Processing Charges (APCs), submission fees, or hidden publication costs. All journal metadata, portal submissions, and published volumes are managed directly and transparently under the single, verified publisher identity of SUKUK Journal.
