The International Journal of Kurdish Studies is considered by many Kurdologists and other researchers the premier scholarly journal specializing exclusively in Kurdish affairs. It is currently indexed by Index Islamicus (Cambridge University, England) and P.A.I.S. New York: Public Affairs Information Service). Knowing that the value of a journal to researchers is significantly enhanced in the presence of an index and summaries to the articles published in it, it was imperative that we provide a complete index and abstracts to all articles published in the first 16 volumes of the journal. The abstracts provided here aim at reducing the time required for research by summarizing the original papers in as much detail as possible to allow researchers easily identify relevant materials.

The items in the index are arranged in ascending order starting with the first article of volume one, issue number one through the last article of volume 16. This is followed by a list of all book reviews, arranged alphabetically by author name. Finally, to minimize the time and effort in finding information about a particular contributor, and to maximize the searching success of the user, an Author Index to the articles is provided at the end.
