Hence, OCM invites research articles from different specializations in Oriental Studies aimed at digging out new facts or rectifying old ones and interpreting notions related to Oriental languages, literatures, and history etc. The Magazine is recognized by the Higher Education Commission of Pakistan in the category of “Y” in Humanities& Languages Journals. Efforts are on way to get its category elevated.

The OCM has a double-blind peer reviewing policy. Initial screening for the suitability of the article for publication in the OCM is carried out by the editorial committee and subsequently the manuscript is sent for blind reviewing. Following HEC peer review policy, each article is reviewed by one local expert and two from academically advanced countries. Authors are kept informed about the comments, revisions, amendments, omissions suggested by the reviewers and are accordingly required to revise their papers.
