It continues to be published as an open-access academic journal published regularly by Garbiyat Studies Application and Research Center at Bursa Uludağ University since 2019.

The journal includes academic studies on these topics. In addition, it aims to be a journal in which Western/Orientalist studies on Islam are evaluated.
