Publication Process
For articles submitted to Text & Analysis, the editors initially conduct the preliminary evaluation process, review the writing rules and format, and then prepare a plagiarism and similarity report. After this stage, the evaluation and blind referee processes are initiated under the supervision of editors and assistant editors.
Based on the opinions of the referees, the article is accepted or rejected. The accepted articles are edited by language, writing, and proofreading editors during the publication process. During this process, authors must edit their articles per the recommendations of the respective editors and upload the final version of their articles to the system for typesetting and layout.
