An-Nisa’ Journal of Gender Studies was first established in 2009, with the publication of Volume 1, Number 1, under the title An-Nisa’: Jurnal Kajian Islam & Perempuan. During its initial publication period, the journal was published in print, with articles presented in a single-column layout. The journal served as an academic platform for scholarly publications focusing on Islamic studies and women’s issues.

In Volume 10, Number 1 (2017), the journal adopted the title An-Nisa’: Jurnal Kajian Perempuan & Keislaman. During this period, the journal continued to be published in print format and maintained its single-column article layout. This development reflected the journal’s evolving academic identity and its continued focus on women’s studies within Islamic contexts.

A significant transition occurred with Volume 11 (2018), when An-Nisa’: Jurnal Kajian Perempuan & Keislaman began shifting from print to online publication by implementing the Open Journal Systems (OJS) platform. Despite adopting an electronic journal management and publishing system, the journal retained its single-column article format. This transition marked an important step towards improving digital accessibility and strengthening the management of scholarly publications.

From Volume 12, Number 1 (2019) to Volume 15, Number 2 (2022), the journal introduced a revised article template, transitioning from a single-column to a two-column layout. This change formed part of the journal’s ongoing efforts to improve article presentation within its OJS-based online publishing system.

In Volume 15, Number 2 (2022), the journal was renamed An-Nisa’: Journal of Gender Studies. This change reflected the development of the journal’s scholarly identity and a broader academic orientation, extending its focus from women’s studies and Islamic perspectives to interdisciplinary gender studies. During this period, the journal continued to publish articles online through OJS while maintaining the two-column format.

In 2023, the journal further refined its official title to An-Nisa’ Journal of Gender Studies, removing the colon (:) following An-Nisa’. This adjustment aimed to ensure greater consistency in the journal’s identity and academic representation. In the same year, the journal introduced a revised article template, replacing the two-column layout with a single-column format. This revision was intended to enhance readability, improve formatting consistency, and strengthen the overall presentation of scholarly articles.

Throughout 2023–2026, An-Nisa’ Journal of Gender Studies maintained its single-column article layout as part of its standardized publication format. These developments reflected the journal’s continued commitment to improving article presentation, maintaining a consistent scholarly identity, and strengthening professional editorial and publishing practices.

Overall, the development of An-Nisa’ Journal of Gender Studies from 2009 to 2026 demonstrates the continuity of its scholarly publishing activities and the evolution of its editorial management. Key milestones include the transition from print to OJS-based online publication, changes in the journal’s title and academic scope, and successive revisions to its article format. These developments represent the journal’s ongoing efforts to enhance editorial quality, uphold academic integrity, and improve the accessibility of scholarly research for national and international academic communities.
