Authors should seriously consider and adhere to the following guidelines while preparing their manuscripts for submission.

• All papers to be published in the journal must be written in Turkish or English. Papers written in Turkish must also include an abstract in English.

• Authors must ensure that the submission has not been previously published, nor is it before another journal for consideration at the same time.

• The manuscripts must be submitted as a MS Word File. Other document types will not be accepted.

• All manuscripts submitted to JSSR must be prepared using the JSSR Template. Manuscripts that are not prepared according to the JSSR Template will be returned to the author(s).

• Submissions are only accepted via the Online Submission System of the journal.

• The submitted manuscripts should be no less than 4000 words including references, appendices, tables, and figures. Submissions that are below 4000 words will not be accepted for review.

• All submitted manuscripts must use the 7th edition of the Publication Manual of the American Psychological Association (APA) for both in-text and end-of-text references.

• It is necessary for researchers to take the plagiarism reports (10% similarity limit).

• The journal adopts “double-blind peer reviewing” policy to ensure the quality of the papers to be published. Therefore, at least two reviewers’ opinions are taken before the study is published.

Note: In the light of the Language Editor’s initial review, The Editorial Board may request language editing (proofreading) during the evaluation process of the submitted article. Even if the article is accepted for the Journal, it will not be published before proofreading and language editing.
