Focus and Scope
World Halal Review (WHR) focuses on advancing interdisciplinary scholarship and evidence-based research related to the global halal ecosystem. The journal prioritizes high-quality academic contributions that explore theoretical developments, empirical findings, regulatory frameworks, technological innovation, and sustainable practices within halal-related industries and institutions. WHR aims to integrate diverse disciplinary perspectives—including economics, management, law, social sciences, public policy, and technology—to strengthen the scientific foundation and global relevance of halal studies.
The journal welcomes original research articles, systematic literature reviews, conceptual papers, and case studies that contribute to academic discourse and provide practical implications for policymakers, industry stakeholders, certification bodies, and global market actors. Submissions must demonstrate analytical rigor, methodological transparency, and clear scholarly contribution to the development of halal governance, industry standards, and sustainable global practices.
