Attention Authors!!!
Article submissions will open between July 15, 2026, and November 15, 2026; however, the system will be closed early if the quota is reached!!!
The New Article Template must be used when submitting articles. The Turkish Article Template should be used for articles submitted in Turkish, and the English Article Template should be used for articles submitted in English. Manuscripts that do not conform to the prescribed template or that are uploaded to the system in a manner that compromises the integrity of the template file will be rejected at the preliminary evaluation stage without further review.

The Publication Agreement must be completed in full and uploaded to the system during the article submission process. Click here for the Publication Agreement.
When articles are uploaded to the system, the similarity report generated by iThenticate must also be uploaded. Works with a similarity rate exceeding 15% will not be included in the evaluation process.
Authors who have previously published in our journal or whose names appear in any publication must wait at least two issues after their previous publication to publish again.
Our journal will not include book reviews or book critiques.
Due to the high volume of submissions, works will be processed for preliminary evaluation in chronological order of their submission dates. Should the article quota be reached during the preliminary evaluation phase, any excess submissions will be returned to the authors. In each publication period, a specific number of articles, as deemed appropriate by the Editorial Board, will be published from among those that have successfully completed the peer-review process. However, if the number of articles receiving positive reviews is insufficient, the journal will reopen for new submissions.
In addition to the current publication and writing principles, your manuscript must also comply with the Editorial Board Decisions dated 25 December 2025. Click here to access the relevant Editorial Board Decisions.
Important Note: Submissions to our journal must be prepared using a citation/reference management programme (Zotero, EndNote, Mendeley, Citavi). Submissions with citations and references prepared without using such a programme will not be considered for evaluation.
