Kastamonu Journal of Social Science

Kastamonu Journal of Social Sciences is a peer-reviewed journal published twice a year, in May and November, electronically.
All legal responsibility for the articles published in the journal rests with the author(s), while the copyright belongs to our University.
Manuscripts submitted for publication are reviewed by at least two referees through a double-blind peer-review process and are subjected to a meticulous preliminary evaluation, including plagiarism screening and a process in line with publication ethics.
For manuscripts submitted to the journal, it is required that they have not been published elsewhere or accepted for publication. If the submitted text is a paper presented at a scientific meeting, this must be stated as a footnote on the first page.
Although the journal’s language of publication is Turkish, studies in English, Arabic, and Russian are also welcome for publication.
