GUIDELINE OF THE KAREN
Journal of Black Sea Studies (KAREN) is an open access journal that was published annually in 2015 and 2016; starting from the year 2017, it publishes scientific studies twice a year, one in June and one in December.
The publishing language of KAREN is Turkish. However,
“Articles”, “A Letter to the Editor” and “Compilations” submitted in English
and Russian are considered for publication, not to exceed one third of an
issue.
In order for any article to be published in KAREN, it
should not have been previously published or accepted to be published
elsewhere. Papers presented at a conference or symposium may be accepted for
publication if clearly indicated so beforehand.
The papers can be submitted to KAREN through DergiPark by becoming a member. The
authors are to provide their full names, academic titles, institutions,
correspondence and e-mail addresses, phone and fax numbers during submission.
Peer-reviewing process can also be followed carrying out membership login from
the same page.
Papers submitted to KAREN are first examined by the
Editorial Board and then are subject to peer review and sent to at least two
independent referees. Peer reviewers are asked to give their opinion on a number
of issues pertinent to the scientific and formal aspects of a paper, and to
judge the papers on grounds of originality and urgency. The names are kept
anonymous and the final decision for publication is sent to the authors within three-month
time.
In case one referee report is negative while the other
is favourable, the article may be forwarded to a third referee for further
evaluation or alternatively the board, based on the contents of the reports may
feel confident to make a final decision. The authors are to consider the
criticism, suggestions and corrections offered by the referees and by the
editorial board. If they disagree, they are entitled to counter present their
views and justifications. Final decision rests with the editorial board. Articles
which are not accepted for publication are not returned to their authors.
When a manuscript is corrected according to the
suggestions of the referees and the editorial board, it has to be re-submitted
to KAREN through DergiPark system
within 15 days. The corrected manuscript can be re-examined by the referees if
necessary.
The royalty rights of the accepted articles are
considered transferred to the Institute of Black Sea Studies. Any views
expressed in this publication are the views of the authors and are not the
views of KAREN.
Quotations from articles including pictures are
permitted with full reference to the article.
Article Processing Charges (APC)
KAREN do not
charge authors an APC.
