PUBLICATION POLICY

Bursa Uludağ University Faculty of Arts and Sciences Journal of Philosophy” (in short, “Kaygı”) is an international double-blind peer-reviewed journal published biannually with the support of Uludağ University. It is prepared by the Department of Philosophy of Bursa Uludağ University with contributions by academics from other universities.
PRINCIPLES OF TRANSPARENCY
1. Journal’s Scope of Content
A. The submitted articles need to be related to fields of social sciences and humanities with philosophical and theoretical content. “Research Articles” and “Book Reviews” are published so long as they meet academic and scientific criteria.
B. Articles in Turkish and English can be submitted (acceptance of other languages depends on the decision of the Board of Editors). The submitted articles must not have not been previously published in another journal, submitted for publication or accepted for publication.
2. Reviewing Process
The works uploaded to the system should not contain any personal information about the author. The articles submitted by the authors are first reviewed by our editors. At this stage, the writing style and content of the article are evaluated by the editors. The editors return to the authors articles that do not comply with the principles stated in the "Writing Guidelines" section. For articles that are found to comply with journal's publication principles and writing guidelines, the peer review process is initiated. Double-blind peer review system is applied for works that fall into "research article" category. These works that comply with the "publication principles" are reviewed by two referees. In order for such a work to be accepted for publication, unanimous approval of both referees is required. If only one of the referees give an approval, the work is sent to a third referee. The Board of Editors decides whether to accept or reject the work taking the review from the third referee into consideration. Whether or not "research articles" and "book reviews" that comply with the "publication principles" will be published depends on the reports of at least two members of the Publication Board. As in accordance with double-blind reviewing process, referees and authors are not informed about each other's information such as name, title and institution. Referees are required to read & review the article within four weeks. If complications arise within this process, new referees are appointed and the authors are informed about the problems. The review reports of the referees are passed on to the authors without specifying the name, title and institution of the referees, and the authors are asked to make the necessary adjustments. If these adjustments are made, the articles are resent to the referees if they opted to review it again. If the referees do not want to reevaluate, the article is transferred for the final check before publication. After the final check, the article is made ready for publication and published in the next issue. We declare and guarantee that the authors will be informed clearly about each and every step of this process concerning their articles.
