About RSSPE Community
The Researchers, Scholars, Scientists, Professionals, and Experts Community promotes the study and understanding of Islamic thought and social systems, both within the broader Islamic civilization and in contemporary Muslim societies. The Community supports those who disseminate knowledge in these fields, encourages academic engagement with the legacy of Islamic civilization, and fosters collaboration with individuals and organizations worldwide.
The RSSPE Community is open to all researchers, scholars, scientists, and professionals. RSSPE Access members, by contrast, enjoy privileged access to the research library, expert networks, publishing support, and additional scholarly resources and professional opportunities.
In line with the mission of ITJ, RSSPE organizes international symposia featuring speakers from around the world. Lectures from these symposia are published on the RSSPE Community Digital Platforms. Papers presented at RSSPE/ITJ events may also be submitted for publication in ITJ.
RSSPE Access Board Members
The RSSPE Access is generally chaired by the Editor-in-Chief (EiC) of ITJ. However, members may elect a presiding officer, and the EiC may delegate the president’s role to another member.
The Board consists of members who are nominated and who accept the nomination to serve for a renewable two-year term.
