International Journal of Islamic Finance and Sustainable Development (IJIFSD) Now Indexed in Scopus

We are pleased to announce that the International Journal of Islamic Finance and Sustainable Development (IJIFSD) has been successfully indexed in the Scopus database.

Following its rebranding from the ISRA International Journal of Islamic Finance (IIJIF) in September 2024, the Journal underwent a mandatory re-evaluation process by Elsevier, the publisher of Scopus, as part of the title change. The Scopus indexing covers all issues published under the IJIFSD title from September 2024 onwards. Articles published prior to this date remain indexed in Scopus under the former journal title, IIJIF.

Scopus is one of the world’s leading abstract and citation databases for peer-reviewed academic literature. Inclusion in Scopus enhances the global visibility and discoverability of research published in IJIFSD, while providing readers with confidence in the Journal’s scholarly and editorial standards. For INCEIF University, this achievement reinforces its research profile and strengthens its contribution to global discourse in Islamic finance and sustainable development.

Rebranded to reflect its expanded scope, IJIFSD goes beyond Islamic finance and economics by integrating perspectives on sustainable development, in alignment with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The Journal serves as a platform for academics, researchers, Shariah scholars, policymakers, regulators, and practitioners to examine the role of Islamic finance in promoting inclusive and sustainable growth.

Published by the ISRA Institute (formerly known as the ISRA Research Management Centre), IJIFSD is jointly sponsored by INCEIF University and the Islamic Development Bank Institute. This collaboration leverages the strengths of both institutions to advance high-quality research on Islamic finance and its contribution to global sustainability.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our authors, reviewers, editorial board members, and readers for their continued support.
