1. GENERAL PRINCIPLES
• All studies intended to be published in the Journal of Philosophical World should be submitted through Dergipark.
• Journal of Philosophical World is an open-access academic journal in which plagiarism screening, pre-evaluation, blind refereeing, and editorial reading processes are operated.
• Articles submitted in Turkish and English are accepted.
• Articles are expected to be related to philosophy and its subfields.
• Studies should be in the categories of research article, research note, work evaluation, translation, scientific meeting evaluation, conversation, and loyalty note.
• The publication period is twice a year, in December and July. Studies can be submitted up to 2 months before the publication period of the journal. When the publication date of the journal comes, the articles that have not completed the refereeing or editorial review processes are postponed to the next issue.
• All manuscripts are subject to pre-evaluation and double blind review processes. The pre-evaluation process takes about 15 days and the refereeing process takes about 30 days. The stated times may be extended from time to time due to delays caused by the referees.
• Submitted studies must not have been previously published or submitted to more than one journal simultaneously.
• More than one work of the same author is not published in a single issue.
• In studies with more than one author, the contribution rate and conflict of interest statements of the authors should be submitted to our journal at the article submission stage.
• Authors should clearly declare the financial support provided by any organization within the scope of their work in the text of the article.
• Articles should be prepared on the basis of “APA (7th Edition, The American Psychological Association, 2020)” citation and bibliography system. The adaptation of these systems to the journal Philosophy World is shown below.

Ethics Committee Approval
Our journal requires that all studies in scientific fields requiring ethics committee approval have obtained the relevant ethics committee decision. In this context, information regarding ethics committee approval (committee name, date, and decision number) must be clearly stated in the article text.
In line with the regulations implemented by Ulakbim TR Index since 2020, studies without ethics committee approval are not considered for publication in our journal.

Studies Requiring Ethics Committee Approval
Studies requiring ethics committee approval in our journal include the following:
• All research conducted using qualitative or quantitative approaches that involve collecting data from participants through methods such as surveys, interviews, focus group studies, observation, and interview techniques.
• Retrospective studies within the framework of the Personal Data Protection Law.
For such studies to be considered for evaluation, the relevant ethics committee approvals must have been obtained and clearly stated in the article text.

*** In research involving human participants, it is essential that all participants participate in the study of their own free will. Participants' identity information must be kept confidential; personal data must be anonymised before use and this information must not be shared with third parties or institutions under any circumstances.

2. PAGE STRUCTURE
• In the submitted works, the text should be aligned on both sides and the page structure should be adjusted so that the upper 2.5 cm, the lower 2.5 cm, the right 2.5 cm, and the left 2.5 cm gutter zero (0).
• The text should be written in Times New York font with 1.5 line spacing and 11 points, and page numbers should be added.
• The title of the study should be written in capital letters, 14 points, and bold font, and the author's tag should be added under the title. ORCID number, e-mail address, and institution information should be included in the imprint.
• Subheadings of the text should be written in bold font and 12 points, with the first letter of each word being capitalized.
• Abstract sections should be added as two separate pages/sections at the end of the study, after the conclusion, and before the bibliography.
• Keywords should be added under the öz and abstract texts with a left-aligned, 11-point, and bold font; number of keywords, At least 5; should be at most 6. Words should be chosen from the basic concepts that will reflect the main subject of the study.
• Articles should not exceed 9,000 words (approximately 25 pages). Exceptions can be evaluated by the editorial board.

3. CITATION AND REFERENCES

3.1. IN-TEXT QUOTATION (APA)
• The American Psychological Association (APA 7) style can be used in the citation system and bibliography of the articles sent to the journal. For detailed information, the page https://apastyle.apa.org/ should be examined.
• When quoting in-text, APA's author-date citation system should be used; Author surnames and year of publication as in the bibliography should be written.
Example:  
Logic refers to both a way of thinking and a branch of science. Therefore, there is a strong connection between logical thinking and logic (Öner, 1986).

• If a specific page is cited or related ideas are taken from a specific section, the source should be written with its page.
Example:
Contrary to metaphysics, such as science, positive philosophy, positive scholars, who are content with events, that is, with the data of experiment without asking questions about the first causes and the re-creation of things. (Korlaelçi, 2014, s. 4).

• More than one source should be cited in alphabetical order and separated by semicolons while in parentheses.
Example:
(Arslan, 1995; Russell, 1945; Ural, 2018; Ülken, 1956).

• In the text, more than one work of an author with the same date should be indicated as follows.
Example: (Türer, 2021a) (Türer, 2021b)

• If the number of authors is two, both names should be written in each use. In studies with two authors, “and” is used among the author names, while “&” and “and” can be used in English texts.
Example:
(Aslan and Steel, 1988, s. 14)
(Harman & Thomson, 1996, s. 160)

• If the number of authors is three or more, only the first name and others are abbreviated in the first use. In English texts, it should be abbreviated as “et al”.)
Example; (Jacqueline Russ, et al., 2012, s. 105).

• When citing translated, copied or reprinted sources, the year of the original work and the year of the translation/reprint are given together.
• Sources that have no author (such as religious sources) or whose author is unknown should be cited in the text, while the title and year of the source should be written for the sources without an author.

REFERENCES (APA)
• References used in the text should be listed alphabetically as surname - name.
• If there are many references by the same author in the bibliography, the sources are listed in order from oldest to newest. Sources with the same date are sorted by letter.
For example: 2000a, 2000b.
• If the work cited as the source has more than one author, the surname of the first author in the work should be used first. If the number of authors is more than three, the abbreviation “et al” can be added after the surname of the first author.
• The publication date of the work in the source should be added in parentheses after the name.
