The Editorial Board is responsible for defining the general policy of the journal, along with the editorial director and in agreement with the Director of CEFAS: its members establish the program of the thematic issues.
The members of the Editorial board make a first evaluation, based on their discipline, of the free articles sent to the journal, and indicate two peer reviewers for each of them. They follow up the correspondence between authors and reviewers.
Finally, the members of the editorial board follow up the publications on the Arabian Peninsula and organize the books reviewing.
