Submission
Registration
The submissions to Antropoloji are made through the “Submit Article” tab from the DergiPark page of the journal. The submissions made with e-mails will not be considered. The corresponding authors, preferably all authors, need to create a free DergiPark account if they do not have one .

Authorships
In the submisson process, after the basic manuscript information is added, authors should be specified if the submission has more than one author. All the authors must have a registered ORCiD number. If not, they must create a free account and get their unique numbers.

Files and additional information
In the “Files” step, the corresponding author (CA) is presented with an Author Information Pack and a Copyright Form. The CA needs to fill the form and upload it along with the full manuscript file. Without the Copyright Form, the submission process will not continue. The authors can upload materials, datasets and other related files in this step.

After the additional information, if available, is added, the submission process can be completed with the author’s optional notes to the editor in the “Review and Send” step.

Important notes
1. The submissions to the system should preferably be in .docx file format. The contents of the text file should be free of any special formatting or templates. The text should be written in generic typefaces such as Times New Roman, Arial or Calibri.
2. By sending their works to the journal, the authors acknowledge that their work has not been previously published elsewhere or sent for evaluation/publication to another journal or journals at the present time.

Use of figures and tables
1. The authors must refer to all the visuals such as images, graphs or figures that they used in the manuscript and these must include their captions below them.
2. Each figure used in the manuscript should be included in the full text file. If the submission is accepted for publication, the CA should upload these preferably in 300 DPI resolution .tif formatted files that are suitable for digital publishing. For very large files, cloud-sharing can be directed to antropoloji@ankara.edu.tr address.

4. All the in text references, including the footnotes, should be given in the references section and vice versa. Personal communications, if any, do not need to be specified in references.

Limitations and general submission guidelines
If the anthropological measurements (anthropometric, osteometric etc.) given in the “Materials and methods” section are not authentic, each of the sources giving the original measurements should be cited.

The citations to the frequently-used proceedings that are published within the scope of International Symposium of Excavations, Surveys and Anthropometry (tr. Uluslararası Kazı, Araştırma ve Arkeometri Sempozyumu) should include the URL at the end of the end-text citation.

Since the presentation date and the publication date are generally two years apart, the year given in the citation should specify the date of the proceedings book, not of the presentation itself.

Excavations and excavation materials
In case the submissions to Antropoloji include archaeological, anthropological or palaeontological finds and/or artifacts as their materials, the corresponding author is considered to have the written or unwritten permissions to study/publish these materials. The editorial of Antropoloji does not accept any liability in case of a disagreement.
