With your help we grow more accurate: error reports and contributing

Three ways to take part, and thanks to those who corrected errors.

Al-Mufahris began with the conviction that a great goal can only be reached through collective participation by those who care about Islamic heritage. Researchers' reports reveal a large share of data errors.

Three ways to take part

  • Scholarly: if you spot an error or gap in a manuscript's data, send the record code and the correct information through the “Report an error” button on the record card. Every report is reviewed and nothing changes in the catalogue without a moderator's approval. Extra information on manuscripts and authors is welcome too, and is added under your name if you wish.
  • Moral: the greatest help is introducing the tool to students, researchers and enthusiasts.
  • Financial: the project belongs to no institution. Contributions, Researcher subscriptions and Telegram Stars go directly to the server, maintenance, staff and developing newer versions.

Thank you

Last month a number of users helped us by reporting errors in our data. Prof. Dr. Muhammad Omar Al-Kaf played a special part, and we gifted him a Researcher subscription in appreciation. Meet him on the Scholars page.

We welcome your reports too; your help is a valuable share in making Al-Mufahris more accurate and reliable.
