General Principles
The Journal of Logical Research (J. Log. Res.) is an international peer-reviewed journal based in Kayseri, Turkey. It is published annually (once a year), but special or supplementary issues may be released when necessary.
J. Log. Res. is an academic journal primarily focused on Logic, and also covers Philosophy, History of Philosophy, and Philosophy of Religion. It publishes scholarly articles, interviews, translations, review essays, and similar academic works.
Uploading a scholarly article, interview, translation, or review essay to the journal’s online system is considered an official submission and initiates the peer-review process.
All copyrights of the articles submitted to J. Log. Res. belong to the journal. These works may not be published elsewhere, reproduced, or used without citation or permission from J. Log. Res. Any legal responsibility arising from the content of the article belongs to the author(s).
The official publication languages of J. Log. Res. are Turkish, English, and Arabic.
Each article must include a Turkish abstract (between 200–250 words), an English abstract (minimum 750 words), and 3–5 keywords in both Turkish and English. The first keyword should indicate the academic discipline of the article. Articles that do not meet these requirements will not be published, even if they successfully pass the peer-review process.
Since submissions are subject to peer review, the manuscript must not contain any identifying information about the author(s). After the peer-review process is completed, the author(s)' details will be added by the editorial team.
Once an article is uploaded by the author to the system, it undergoes the following steps: The editor or associate editors review the manuscript for compliance with publication and formatting guidelines. Articles that pass this stage are assigned to two reviewers who are experts in the relevant field. Authors can track the status of their submission via their personal dashboard in the system.
After submission to J. Log. Res., the peer-review process can be monitored through the same online system using the registered email address and password. Authors must wait until reports from all reviewers have been received before uploading revisions. Only one revision is allowed, so authors should not upload any revised version until all reviewer feedback is available.
Submissions must not have been previously published elsewhere. Conference papers may be accepted only if the prior presentation is clearly indicated in the article.
At the end of the manuscript, under the heading "References" (KAYNAKÇA), all cited works must be listed in alphabetical order by the author’s surname (in uppercase), followed by the first name (in lowercase).
When registering as an author or reviewer for J. Log. Res., all required fields must be completed. In the “Biography” section, the author’s or reviewer’s areas of research and interest must be listed. In the “Department” field, the main discipline followed by the sub-discipline should be specified (e.g., Philosophy and Religious Studies / Logic).
