of Academic Studies
is a quarterly published journal. It
is distributed to libraries determined by the editorial board, international
index organizations, journal stands and interested subscribers.
An annual index and title page are bound in the last issue of each volume.
Objectives
of the journal:
Maintaining
close links with social scientific studies produced at an international level
especially across the Eurasian geography, and providing a means for informing
relevant scientists, experts and interested people of these studies.
Content
of the journal:
Journal
of Academic Studies
is a social science journal. It
welcomes submissions of academic papers in all branches of social science, in
consideration of the following publication principles.
The
criteria for papers submitted for consideration of publication:
1.
An original research paper that greatly contributes to and fills a gap in
its subject matter
2.
Any study considering new perspectives and developments in social
sciences, analyzing previous studies through in-depth bibliographic research
General
consideration of publication:
1.
Articles submitted for consideration of publication are subject to peer
review. The editorial board takes
into consideration whether a submitted article follows the general order of
objective, clear subject, follows the scope, has good presentation and follows
the grammatical rules of English. The
appropriate articles are then sent to two referees known for their academic
reputation in their respective areas. Upon
their decision, the article will be published in the journal, or rejected for
publication. The reports of the
referees are kept confidential and stored in the archives for five years.
If the two referees disagree in their decision on whether or not to
publish an article, the article is sent to a third party for final decision.
2.
Accuracy of facts and all opinions expressed in the articles are the
responsibility of the authors, not of the journal or its editor.
3.
The authors and referees will receive payment no later than one month
after the specific journal issue is published.
The editorial board decides the amount of payment, both for the authors
and the referees.
The
language of the journal:
The
primary language of the journal is Turkish, yet upon the decision of the
editorial board articles in English may also be published as long as they do not
extend beyond one-third the length of the journal.
Summaries of Turkish language articles are provided in English, and
summaries of English-language articles are provided in Turkish.

of presentation, organization and style:

the subject matter under discussion.
