1. General Submission and Evaluation Rules

• Word Limit: Articles must be between 2,500 and 12,000 words, including notes, tables, and figures.
• Blind Peer Review: Manuscripts must not include any information that may reveal the identity of the author(s). Submissions containing identifying information will be returned to the author(s). Author details will be added by the editors after the review process has been completed.
• Originality: Manuscripts must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication elsewhere. Papers presented at symposiums or conferences may be accepted provided that the full text has not been previously published and this is clearly stated. Manuscripts derived from theses must also be explicitly indicated.
• Ethical and Copyright Responsibility: The author(s) are solely responsible for ensuring compliance with ethical standards and for avoiding any copyright infringement. Any material damages, legal claims, or defense costs arising from violations are the responsibility of the author(s).
• Submission Process: Manuscripts must be submitted through the Article Tracking System. If revisions are requested by the reviewers, the revised manuscript may be uploaded to the system only once. Manuscripts that do not comply with the journal template will not be sent for peer review.

✎ 2. Page Layout and Formatting

• Headings: The text must be justified. The main title should be centered, bold, and written in UPPERCASE letters. Subheadings should be left-aligned, bold, with the first letters capitalized.
• Abstracts: Abstracts must be provided in both Turkish and English and should be between 150 and 200 words (10-point font, single spacing). The abstract should clearly state the subject, aim, significance, contribution, methodology, main findings, and sources of the study. Authors must also include 3–5 keywords. For articles written in a foreign language, the abstract in that language should appear first.
• Extended Abstract: Except for articles written in English, manuscripts must include an EXTENDED ABSTRACT of 750–1000 words, placed after the conclusion section. (This requirement does not apply to translations or book reviews.)
• Tables, Figures, and Visual Materials: If tables, figures, or images are used, they must be numbered and a caption or explanatory note must be placed below the visual material. Captions should be centered and written in Times New Roman, 10-point font.

⌭ 3. Citation and Bibliography Rules (ATAM Style)

Authors must use the classical footnote citation method. A period (.) must be placed at the end of every footnote and bibliography entry. Detailed citation rules follow the ATAM Publication Principles.

Bibliography

All sources cited in the text must appear in the bibliography. Entries should be listed alphabetically by the author's SURNAME (in uppercase). Sources may be categorized if necessary (e.g., archival documents, books, articles, internet sources).

4. Book Reviews and Translated Articles

• Book Reviews: Book reviews should be 750–1200 words in length. The cover image of the book may be included. Reviews should discuss the aim of the book as well as its strengths and weaknesses, and the original language edition should be used as the main reference. Editorial pre-approval does not guarantee publication.
• Translated Articles: Permission must be obtained from the author(s) of the original article before submission. All copyright costs are the responsibility of the translator. The original citation and permission information must be stated at the bottom of the first page.

Required Documents

When submitting a manuscript, authors must upload the Similarity Report (Turnitin) and Ethics Committee Declaration to the system. Official templates and forms provided by the journal must be used for submissions:
