Aims and Scope

Welcome to Miṣriqiyā, an international peer-reviewed academic journal published biannually by the Faculty of Women, Ain Shams University. Miṣriqiyā aims to publish high-quality research papers relevant to Africa. The journal publishes articles in the fields of anthropology, history, sociology, politics, geography, linguistics, and literary and cultural studies. Miṣriqiyā is published in both print and online versions. With an active editorial board that encompasses scholars from a variety of disciplines based at both Egyptian and international universities, the journal seeks to foster an interdisciplinary and global conversation from, with and about Africa. The journal is open to Arab and international scholars and guarantees a fair and accurate reviewing process. Submissions are accepted throughout the year.

We accept only original research papers of sufficient quality that meet the aims and scope of our journal. We do not support multiple, redundant or concurrent publications. An article found to have plagiarized other work or include materials without necessary permission will be denied publication.

We permit self-archiving, which means that authors may deposit the published PDF version of their articles in academic and institutional repositories as well as post their articles on their personal websites.

The submission of a manuscript for publication in Miṣriqiyā grants the editors of the journal the right and license to publish the manuscript on the journal’s website as well as distribute it in different academic databases.
