The author(s) are responsible for the ideas and viewpoints in the scientific articles published in The Journal of Ottoman Civilization Studies [JOCS]. The articles sent to be published are sent to at least two experts in their fields using the two-sided blind referee principle. In the case of one of the referee's negative assessments, the text is sent to a third referee. The last is the journal advice, and the publication board makes decisions. To execute the two-sided blind referee method, the authors need not include any information in their text that shows their identity information before adding their texts to the system. Author information will be added later by the editors in the correction step.
The articles are only submitted by the open journal system.
Authors should upload their articles to the system after they write or edit their writings according to the journal article template.
*Cases such as name similarities, surname changes, names of Turkish letters, different spellings, and institution changes may create problems in publication/citation searches made by the author's name. Researchers need to obtain their depiction or identity/number (ID). For this reason, all of our writers are required to register for ORCID. It is recommended that our authors should request their ORCID information and include this information in journals/articles since ORCID is going to be used to ensure standardization and in the joint studies that are going to be carried out with YOK.
*ORCID is the abbreviation of Open Researcher and Contributor ID. ORCID is a 16-digit, numbered URI compatible with the ISO Standard (27729), the International Standard Name Identifier (ISNI).
You can create a free registration for an individual ORCID at http://orcid.org.
* Authors should upload their articles to the system after they write or edit their writings according to the journal article template.
The studies sent to the journal are expected to be between 5,000 and 12,000 words. Books and other promotions should be at most 1,500 words.
The editorial board reviews the articles uploaded to the system by the authors and then decides whether to include them in the assessment.
The editors check every article submitted to the Journal of Ottoman Civilization Studies in terms of their resemblance and plagiarism, using similarity programs such as iThenticate, Turnitin, and İntihal. Articles with more than %25 plagiarism are returned to the author without being taken to the assessment process. If the resemblance is not apparent in the articles or other works to the degree of %25 and above, the studies are sent to the two referees who are experts in the field. Regarding the positive report that referees receive, the article is published. In the case of one of the referees' adverse reports, depending on the report's content, if it is seen as necessary by the editor, the article is sent to a third referee. If the third referee's report is positive, the article is published; otherwise, it is not published. If the article is not assessed within the time given to the referee, the article is sent to another referee. A single referee report is deemed satisfactory for book reviews. It is forwarded to a second referee in the event of a need.
