Article Preparation (Article Template)
Article Subject Area: The scope of the journal is limited to the basic fields of Theology. For this reason, only articles related to the subfields of Theology are accepted for publication.
Publication Types: Research article, review article, book review, and editorial essays are published. However, we advise authors to be as concise as possible for the dissemination of the work. It has been decided not to publish translation articles in the journal as of 2024. In book review type studies, only qualified studies by experts in the field will be evaluated.
Publication Period: Our journal is published twice a year, 15 March and 15 September. The article acceptance dates are 01 October-01 November for the March issue and 01 April-01 May for the September issue. If the number of articles is deemed sufficient, the system may be closed to article submission before the specified acceptance dates at the discretion of the editorial board of the journal. Articles that do not reach the publication date due to the incomplete evaluation process are transferred to the next issue.
Ethical Principles: Author(s) are required to review the Ethical Principles and Publication Policy of Eskişehir Osmangazi University Journal of Faculty of Theology before submitting the article. For field research studies, the approval of the ethics committee must be obtained and the approval must be indicated with the meeting date. It should be added separately during manuscript submission. On the first page of the article, the name, date and number of the ethics committee in the ethics committee approval document should be added. In the method section, the start and end dates of the data collection process must be included. The plagiarism similarity rate must be less than 15%. Even if the similarity rate appears to be 1%, it can still be considered plagiarism if citations and quotations are not properly made. The plagiarism report will be generated and uploaded by the pre-review editor, so the authors do not need to upload it themselves.
Author Change: It is only processed before the manuscript is accepted. The author(s) should carefully review the list and order of author(s) before submitting the manuscript and provide the final author list at the time of original submission.
