Authors are kindly requested to read the following instructions when preparing a manuscript for submission to the Journal of Halal Quality and Certification.

The Journal of Halal Quality and Certification is an international diamond open access journal published by the Agency for Halal Quality Certification, in collaboration with the Faculty of Technology, University of Tuzla; the Faculty of Islamic Studies, University of Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina); and the Faculty of Food Technology, Josip Juraj Strossmayer University of Osijek (Croatia).

The journal publishes original scientific articles, short communications, scientific notes, review articles, and professional papers. All manuscripts must be written and submitted in English. All submitted manuscripts undergo peer review.

The distinction between scientific and professional articles lies in the originality of methods, results, and conclusions. Although professional papers may indicate practical applications, they are generally not considered original scientific contributions.

Original scientific papers contain unpublished results of original research. They must include significant and original findings subject to critical evaluation. Experimental data should be presented in a way that allows reproduction and verification of the analyses and conclusions.

Short communications include brief information on research findings that require urgent publication.

Scientific notes include reports on short but completed research or descriptions of original laboratory techniques (methods, equipment, etc.) and should be concise.

Review articles are original, critical, and up-to-date overviews of specific areas in which, preferably, the author is actively engaged. They should include recent references from international publications.

Professional papers present new possibilities for improvement in the field of halal quality. The emphasis is on the application of known methods and facts, as well as on the dissemination of knowledge in a specific field. Acquired knowledge is applied to the research subject.
