All Azimuth, journal of the Center for Foreign Policy and Peace Research, is an English-language, international peer-reviewed journal, published biannually. It aims:

• to provide a forum for academic studies on foreign policy analysis, peace and development research, • to publish pieces bridging the theory-practice gap; dealing with under-represented conceptual approaches in the field; and making scholarly engagements in the dialogue between the “center” and the “periphery“, • to encourage publications with homegrown theoretical and philosophical approaches. • to transcend conventional theoretical, methodological, geographical, academic and cultural boundaries, • to highlight works of senior and promising young scholars, • to uphold international standards and principles of academic publishing.

All Azimuth, journal of the İhsan Doğramacı Peace Foundation’s Center for Foreign Policy and Peace Research, provides a forum for academic studies on foreign policy analysis and peace research as well as theoretically-oriented policy pieces on international issues. We particularly welcome research on the nexus of peace, security and development. We aim to publish pieces bridging the theory-practice gap; dealing with under-represented conceptual approaches in the field; and making scholarly engagements for the dialogue between the  “center” and the “periphery”. We strongly encourage, therefore, publications with homegrown theoretical and philosophical approaches. In this sense, All Azimuth aims to transcend the conventional theoretical, methodological, geographical, academic and cultural boundaries. All Azimuth is published two times a year by the Center for Foreign Policy and Peace Research.

Ethical Guidelines
All Azimuth: A Journal of Peace and Foreign Policy adheres to the guidelines set by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), which can be accessed here.
Authorship
The corresponding author is responsible for determining and reporting the list and order of contributing authors. In the case of a collaborative submission, contributing authors must agree on appropriate credit attribution.
Originality
All Azimuth only publishes original works. While a manuscript is under consideration for publication, it cannot be submitted to another journal. Not only is it ethically unacceptable to submit the same work to multiple journals but doing so creates unnecessary work and complications for editors as well as the independent reviewers who voluntarily sacrifice their time to ensure that manuscripts are up to standard.
Plagiarism, Fraud, & Retraction
Plagiarism of any form is unacceptable. If a manuscript is discovered to have committed plagiarism or some other form of manipulation, this will result in an immediate rejection, followed by other sanctions. For already-published articles, discovery of plagiarism and other manipulations will result in the retraction of the article.
Should an article require retraction, either due to misconduct or an honest error, the article will be formally retracted as stipulated by the COPE Retraction Guidelines, which can be accessed here.
Conflict of Interest
We request authors to disclose all conflicts of interest they may have, including institutional, financial, as well as personal and academic conflicts of interest.
Informed Consent & Best Practices
All research that uses human subjects must present the approval of their Institutional Review Board (IRB). This includes research with human participants, such as interviews, surveys, and other experimental methods.
Anonymity, and accordingly the participants’ informed consent, is crucial. No researcher can infringe on the rights of their participants and must work to preserve their anonymity. All work involving such methods must state that the authors received the informed consent of their participants in their methodology section. This includes whether the participants’ consent was provided in writing or verbally. In the latter case, the author must explain, with reference to his/her IRB’s decision why this route was taken.


Publication Guidelines
General Practices
All Azimuth follows a double-blind peer review process. Although processing times may vary, most manuscripts are processed by the editorial staff within two weeks, by which time the editors decide if an article is to be rejected or merits the review process. Each round of reviews may take up to 6 weeks. Manuscripts need two affirmative reviews before they can be considered for publication. Pending the suggestions by the reviewers, an article may be accepted, rejected, or require revisions. In the last case, the author(s) will be given the opportunity to resubmit a revised version of the manuscript based on, and addressing, the reviewers’ comments. This process is repeated until a manuscript is decisively accepted or rejected. In the case of an inconclusive review process, the editorial board may contact additional reviewers.

Only submissions that are submitted through the Journal’s online submission form will be considered for publication.

All Azimuth is an open access journal. Once accepted for publication, manuscripts will be made available online. There are no publishing fees.

Please see the Author Guidelines for more information on preparing manuscript.

Manuscripts submitted for consideration must follow the style on the journal’s web page.The manuscripts should not be submitted simultaneously to any other publication, nor may they have been previously published elsewhere in English. However, articles that are published previously in another language but updated or improved can be submitted. For such articles, the author(s) will be responsible in seeking the required permission for copyright. Manuscripts may be submitted via Submission Form found at: http://www.allazimuth.com/authors-guideline/.
