Journal of International Turkic Research

The Journal of Turkic Studies aims to create a ground where academic studies on issues related to various main and sub-branches of social sciences such as history, literature, geography, sociology, anthropology of the Turkish world are presented to the world of science on a national and international scale.

The journal includes all articles that are of interest to the Turkic world and meet scientific criteria. Incoming manuscripts are evaluated by double blind referee procedure. It is published twice a year, in Spring and Fall semesters.

1. Journal of International Turkic Research (JINTURE) is a journal published by Marmara University Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, where academic studies in the field of social and human sciences are published. It started its publication life in 1982, but its publication was suspended three times due to various compelling reasons.
2. The articles to be submitted to the journal should be original and academic standards, not previously published anywhere else. A paper presented at a scientific meeting should be included in the article form if it has not been published elsewhere. This should also be stated at the beginning of the article.
3. The language of the journal is Turkish. However, articles prepared in one of the common languages by researchers whose mother tongue is not Turkish can also be published. At the beginning of the articles to be published, an abstract of 150-200 words in Turkish and English and 5 to 10 keywords are given. The English abstract should be preceded by an English title.
4. The journal is published twice a year, in Summer and Winter. If necessary, it may also be published as a Special Issue upon the decision of the Editorial Board. No more than one article of an author can be published in one issue.

Ethical Principles
1. Marmara University Dean's Office of the Faculty of Humanities and Social Sciences, the publishing organization of the Journal of Turkish Studies, is committed to complying with ethical standards at all stages of the publication process. The Editorial Board oversees the compliance of the articles in the journal with ethical principles. Manuscripts submitted to the journal must not have been previously published or submitted for publication in another journal. Other works of the authors of the duplication attempts detected by the Editorial Board will not be included in the journal. The publication of unpublished symposium papers is possible provided that the symposium participation is indicated in the study.

2. Articles submitted to the journal are checked through the Turnitin similarity / plagiarism program at the beginning of the editorial process. Studies with a similarity rate of more than 20% are not published.
3. As of 2020, an Ethics Committee Certificate is strictly required for researches prepared with qualitative and quantitative approaches that collect data using interview techniques such as surveys, interviews, focus group studies, observations. Information about the approval date and unit of the Ethics Committee Certificate should be specified in the “Description” section as an attachment to the document during the article application.

4. Under the title of the article, information such as the author's name, title in the footnote, the institution where he/she works, e-mail address where he/she can be reached and ORCID ID should not be included. Since the system administrator can see which academician added the manuscript to the system or sent it to the journal, this information is added to the manuscript by the editor after the manuscript has passed the referee process. In this respect, while the manuscripts are entered into the system, they should be reviewed to make sure that no information belonging to the author is included in the manuscript. This is important in terms of allowing the referees who will review the article to move more easily and to apply ethical principles.
5. In articles with multiple authors, the contribution of each author to the article should be added at the end of the title and address and e-mail information.
6. Articles whose editorial process is completed are published in order based on the dates of their inclusion in the evaluation process. The publication order will not be changed for any reason.

Ethics Committee Permission: In line with the decisions taken by Ulakbim TR Index, Ethics Committee Permission is required for studies to be published since 2020. Studies requiring Ethics Committee Permission are listed below. When uploading your study to our journal, you must upload your Ethics Committee document together with your article file. If your study is not included in the study group that requires ethics committee permission, you must sign the declaration form stating this situation and indicate the relevant situation in your article text.

Use of humans and animals (including materials/data) for experimental or other scientific purposes,
Clinical trials in humans,
Research on animals,
Retrospective studies in accordance with the law on the protection of personal data.

5. The Journal is a peer-reviewed publication. Submissions are first examined by the Editorial Board in terms of subject, presentation style and technical aspects. Those found suitable for publication are sent to two referees who are experts on the subject. If the referee reports are positive, they are published. If one of the reports is positive and the other is negative, the article is sent to a third referee and the decision is taken accordingly. If the referees ask for some corrections in their reports, the articles are sent back to the author for the corrections to be made. If the author disagrees with the referees' decisions, he/she should explain the reason in writing. Confidentiality is essential during the evaluation of manuscripts. The names of the authors are not sent to the referees and the authors are not informed of the names of the referees. Reports are kept confidential for five years.
6. It is recommended to follow the spelling guide of the Turkish Language Association. However, the authors are ultimately responsible for the spelling of the manuscripts.
7. If the manuscript sent to the Journal includes a text reading, a photocopy of the original text should be included in the file for a proper review. The same applies to translations and the original translated text should also be sent. This is because translated manuscripts are also sent for referee approval just like copyrighted manuscripts.

8. If the articles contain transcribed text, the font used should be sent to the Journal together with the article. If the submitted font is not suitable for the general font character used in the Journal, it will be converted to the transcribed font used in the Journal.
9. The footnote to be placed in the title of the article should be indicated with a (*) sign. The author's name should be written right-justified under the title; title, place of duty and e-mail address should be indicated in the footnote with (**) sign.
