Editorial Policy
We are not all things to all people, and we will hone close to our role and function with the hope that we will serve our role and function well. Our role and function is primarily to provide information about the Islamic Finance in Practice books and materials and to provide a starting point (via the Selected Bibliography and, as the IFIP Website develops, the Islamic finance materials) for research, in each case relating to Islamic finance, investment and banking. Thus, we do not intend to become a site for exploring and debating the many issues that come to the fore in young and dynamic industries like Islamic finance, investment and banking: and that despite the intriguing and stimulating nature of many of those explorations and debates.
While we welcome comments and suggestions, we will not be able to respond to all inquiries or address all suggestions (or, necessarily, to any inquiries or suggestions), particularly where they pertain to matters that go beyond our role and function: we hope that you can appreciate those limitations. And, in any event, the Publisher (as defined above) retains sole and absolute discretion as to the inclusion of material in, and the exclusion of material from, the IFIP Website and all other matters pertaining to the IFIP Website.
