Authors are invited to make a submission to this journal. All submissions undergo an initial editorial screening for quality, originality, and relevance, followed by a peer-review process.
All submissions will be assessed by an editor to determine whether they meet the aims and scope of this journal. Those considered to be a good fit will be sent for peer review before determining whether they will be accepted or rejected. Submissions must include full author details: full name, institutional affiliation, contact email, and ORCID.
Before submitting, authors are responsible for obtaining permission to publish any material included with the submission, such as photos, documents, and datasets. All authors identified on the submission must consent to be identified as an author. Where appropriate, research should be approved by an appropriate ethics committee in accordance with the legal requirements of the study's country.
An editor may desk reject a submission if it does not meet the minimum standards of quality. Before submitting, please ensure that the study design and research argument are structured and articulated properly. The title should be concise, and the abstract should be able to stand on its own. This will increase the likelihood of reviewers agreeing to review the paper.

Originality Check and AI-Generated Content Declaration:
At Sulaimani Journal for Humanities, we are dedicated to upholding the highest standards of academic integrity and ethical publishing. To ensure the originality, transparency, and authenticity of all submissions, every manuscript undergoes a rigorous screening process before peer review.
We utilize Turnitin’s advanced plagiarism detection software to assess each manuscript for text duplication, improper attribution, and potential misuse of AI-generated content. This software compares submissions against an extensive database of academic literature, web content, and proprietary sources. Authors bear full responsibility for the authenticity of their work. All sources must be properly cited, and manuscripts must not have been previously published or concurrently submitted to other journals. Any form of plagiarism, data fabrication, or duplication may lead to immediate rejection or further editorial action.
In addition, the use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools must be transparently disclosed. While the use of AI for English language proofreading is acceptable, any AI-assisted contributions—such as writing, data analysis, figure generation, or literature summarization—must be clearly stated in the manuscript. Undisclosed use of AI or detected AI-generated content that compromises ethical research standards will result in rejection without further consideration. All ethical concerns—including plagiarism, AI misuse, and authorship disputes—will be addressed in accordance with the guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
By submitting to Sulaimani Dental Journal, authors affirm that their work is original, ethically compliant, and free of any undisclosed AI involvement. Our commitment to academic integrity safeguards the credibility, reliability, and scholarly value of the research we publish.
