In the journal, we take under review the academic studies which are written in Turkish and English. However, the articles that use foreign archives and are sent in English will be given priority in the publication phase (after they successfully pass the peer-review process). If the English articles are not prepared in an academic style and according to grammar and writing rules, the relevant article will be rejected at the preliminary evaluation stage. Such articles must be prepared with a professional approach.

It is expected that the field experts who are sent a reviewer request will fulfill this role as much as possible. For this reason, if they do not fulfill the role of reviewer without any reason, firstly, the relevant field experts will not be invited to be a reviewer again for a year and the papers they will send during the same period will not be evaluated. If they refuse to be a reviewer for the second time, they will not be invited to be a reviewer again and their work will definitely not be reviewed.
