Important Note:
EXTENDED SUMMARY

Our journal has decided to publish all articles with an Extended Summary starting from 2025. The Extended Summary is a method that will facilitate the international readability and citation of articles. The Extended Summary will be requested in English for Turkish articles and in Turkish for English and Arabic articles.
The Extended Summary will be requested when articles are first submitted to our journal. The Extended Summary should be included after the abstract and keywords, before the main text of the article.

As the Extended Abstract will address the study's problem, purpose, method, and results in greater detail than a traditional abstract, and will be in English for Turkish articles, it will also pave the way for articles to receive international citations. For articles submitted to our journal in English, a Turkish Extended Abstract will be requested. The Extended Abstract should preferably be between 500 and 700 words in length and should clearly state the purpose, problem, method, findings, and conclusions of the study under subheadings.

Studies to be submitted to ATAD Journal should be prepared in the following format.

Your article must be uploaded to the site in Word format using this template. Articles submitted without adapting to the template and not complying with the writing rules will be rejected outright. Excluding the bibliography, the article should be a minimum of 4000 words and a maximum of 8000 words. To access the template, click Article Template.Do not forget to upload the similarity report for your submitted work.

Authorship Criteria

ATAD (Journal of Academic History Research) is published electronically three times a year (April, August, December) on the ULAKBİM DergiPark platform as a peer-reviewed journal. Our journal aims to publish high-quality and original scientific studies in line with national and international academic standards.

1. General Principles

Studies submitted to ATAD must not have been previously published or submitted to another journal for publication.

Papers presented at conferences or symposiums may be published, provided that this is clearly stated.

If the article contains some of the topics from a previously published work by the author(s), this must be declared, and a copy of the previous work must be uploaded to the system along with the new submission.

All works submitted to the journal undergo a double-blind peer review process after preliminary evaluation.

2. Peer Review and Editorial Process

All manuscripts are first reviewed using the DergiPark similarity scanning program. Manuscripts with a similarity/plagiarism rate above 20% are not considered for evaluation.

The Editor or Editorial Board has the authority to reject manuscripts that do not comply with publication principles, return them for revision, or make formal adjustments.

Manuscripts deemed suitable are sent to at least two independent reviewers. Based on the reports received from the reviewers, a decision is made to accept, revise, or reject the article.

Manuscripts requested to be revised by the reviewers must be edited by the author(s) and uploaded to the system within 30 days at the latest. If this period is exceeded, the submission will be considered as a new application.

Only the corresponding author is informed about the acceptance or rejection of the manuscript.

3. Ethical and Scientific Responsibility

The ethical, scientific, and legal responsibility for the studies published in ATAD lies entirely with the author(s).

Published articles do not reflect the opinions of the editor or members of the editorial board.

Any situation contrary to the Principles of Research and Publication Ethics (plagiarism, fabricated data, unjust authorship, etc.) is strictly unacceptable.

4. Copyright and Publication Rights

No copyright fee is paid for articles published in the journal.

All publication rights for accepted works are deemed to be transferred to ATAD through the “Publication Rights Transfer Form.”

Submitted manuscripts will not be returned to authors, whether published or not.

5. Language of Publication

The languages of publication for ATAD are Turkish and English.

English abstracts are required for articles written in Turkish.

For correct and consistent use of language, authors are advised to use the dictionary and writing guide of the Turkish Language Association (www.tdk.gov.tr).

6. Authorship Criteria

All authors must sign and upload the “Publication Rights Transfer Form” to the system before the article is uploaded.

The status of authorship is only given to those who have made an intellectual, scientific, or technical contribution to the work.

Listing individuals who have not contributed as authors or excluding those who have contributed is considered an ethical violation.

The authors' contribution ratios to the article (e.g., “author contribution statement”) may be reported to the editorial board when necessary.

Publication and Ethical Principles

Originality: Only original works that have not been published elsewhere will be accepted.

Academic Contribution: Articles must contribute to historical science or related disciplines in a theoretical, methodological, or empirical way.

Ethical Rules: Research must be prepared in accordance with national and international academic ethical principles.

Peer Review Process: Studies are evaluated using a double-blind peer review method. The identities of authors and reviewers are kept confidential.

Transparency: The editorial board decides whether articles will be published based on the peer review reports.

Works That Will Not Be Accepted

Non-original texts:

Works that have been previously published or submitted to another journal for publication.

Repetitive texts that do not contribute to science.


Content that is not scientific in nature:

Texts aimed at glorifying or denigrating specific individuals, institutions, or ideologies.

Works that do not comply with publication principles:
Texts that do not meet scientific standards in terms of language and style, or that do not use clear and understandable academic language.

Articles with incomplete or inconsistent references, or that violate scientific citation rules.

Our Editorial Policy

Our journal has no political, ideological, or institutional affiliation.

All articles are carefully reviewed and published in accordance with international academic standards.
