The 2002 volume of as-Sikka, The e-Journal of the Islamic Coins Group
is now online at:
http://islamiccoinsgroup.50g.com/
Just follow the as-Sikka link to the e-Journal.

Description:

as-Sikka has been established to promote the study of Islamic
numismatics through the e-publication of research articles, review
articles, communications, and shorter reviews and studies. It is
designed to allow members of the Islamic Coins Group as well as other
contributors, to participate in activating Islamic numismatic
research in a free and easily accessible medium.

We have shed the traditional publishing methodology, and now publish
One volume per year. This volume, however, will be continually added
to, and updated throughout the year, and will become final when the
year is done.

Submission of Articles to as-Sikka:

Manuscripts pertaining to Islamic numismatics, monetary or economic
history as well as general numismatics, are welcome for publication
in as-Sikka.

The Journal will also consider publishing review articles concerning
communications, book reviews, and software reviews.

Authors should send submissions as a computer file directly by email
to the Editor at
islamic_coins-owner@yahoogroups.com
The submission can be in the form of attachments in Rich Text File,
Text File or Word Document. Other documentation such as scans and
figures can be sent as attachments as well. The email should
introduce the Author, submission, and list the attachments and their
purpose.

Papers will be subject to peer review by appropriate volunteers
selected at the editors' discretion.

The peer reviewers are respected and long standing authorities in the
field. They have consented to volunteer for this task. The Editor
will respect their decisions as final. A list of the volunteer peer
reviewers may be obtained by request. The anonymity of a specific
article reviewer will be maintained unless the reviewer initiates
contact with the author on their own initiative.

Depending on the opinion of the volunteer peer reviewers, articles
will be:

(1) approved for publication without alteration,
(2) approved subject to modification, or
(3) declined.

Affiliations and indexing:
We have obtained an ISSN number (International Standard Serial
Number) and have requested that as-Sikka, as well as Islamic Coins
Group, be included in the ARL Directory of Scholarly Electronic
Journals and Academic Discussion Lists. We will also be considering
archiving as-Sikka at several academic locations including The
International Consortium for the Advancement of Academic Publication.
