About journal

Founded in 2022, the Arabic Journal for Translation Studies (AJTS) is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by Democratic Arab Center for Strategic, Political and Economic Studies. 

| Focus and Scope
Arabic Journal for Translation Studies (AJTS) is a double-blind peer-reviewed, open-access journal published by Democratic Arab Center for Strategic, Political and Economic Studies, Germany. It is designed to disseminate knowledge and research relevant to all areas of Translation and Interpretation. AJTS seeks to address broad, common concerns among scholars working in various areas of Translation and Interpreting Studies, while encouraging sound empirical research that could serve as a bridge between academics and practitioners. Finally, AJTS is a forum for the dissemination in Arabic translation of relevant scholarly research originally published in  other languages.

| Publication Frequency
the Arabic Journal for Translation Studies publishes its articles every three months, after passing through the various stages of arbitration, modification, acceptance, proofreading and editing, which results in the publication of high quality content. The fact is that the journal archives its articles in 4 issues: (January - March); (April - June); (July-September); (October-December). It should be noted that the journal receives researchers' articles throughout the year, and every research or study that receives acceptance after its arbitration, its author has the right to obtain a certificate of promise to publish until the issue containing his article is issued.

| Types of Contributions
