ISRA Journal - Volume 1

The inaugural issue of the ISRA International Journal of Islamic Finance (ISRA journal) has been available since December so we are unsure how we could miss it! The journal can be downloaded for free (no registration required) but it is the academic rigor and second-to-none peer review process that makes it really impressive. Take note that "the practitioner’s article discusses cases studies from the real life experience of the practitioner author. The Journal also highlights select currently ongoing research projects conducted by ISRA’s researchers under ‘Research Notes’. Though the research projects are not complete its introduction to the outside will engage those who may be doing parallel or similar research".
