The author(s) are responsible for the ideas and viewpoints in the scientific articles published in The Journal of Ottoman Civilization Studies [JOCS]. Articles submitted for publication are sent to at least two experts in their fields, using the double-blind referee process. In the case of a referee's negative assessment, the text is sent to a third referee. The last is the journal advice, and the publication board makes decisions. To implement the two-sided blind referee method, the authors do not need to include any information in their text that reveals their identity before submitting it to the system. Author information will be added later by the editors in the correction step.
Articles are only submitted through the Open Journal System.
Authors should upload their articles to the system after they have written and edited them in accordance with the journal's article template.
- Cases such as name similarities, surname changes, names with Turkish letters, different spellings, and institution changes may create problems in publication/citation searches using 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 request their ORCID and include it in journals and articles, as ORCID will be used to ensure standardization in joint studies 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 individual ORCID at http://orcid.org.
- Authors should upload their articles to the system after they have written or edited them in accordance with the journal's article template.
- The studies sent to the journal are expected to be between 5,000 and 12,000 words. Books and other promotional materials should be no more than 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 review every article submitted to the Journal of Ottoman Civilization Studies for originality and plagiarism, using similarity-detection programs such as iThenticate, Turnitin, and İntihal. Articles with more than 20% 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 20% or above, the studies are sent to two referees who are experts in the field. Regarding the positive report that referees receive, the article is published. If one of the referees' adverse reports is noted and the editor deems it necessary, the article is sent to a third referee for review. 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 if needed.
Articles should be prepared using reference management programs such as Zotero or EndNote and submitted in that format. Articles not submitted in this format will not be considered.
