7.        There must be a “bibliography” section at the end of the article. References to the sources must be given as footnotes; not within the text. (Note: Sources in the Bibliyography should be reaally used / referred within the text of the article.)

(Besides this, when a reference is made to a component such as picture, photograph, figure, drawing within the text, the abbreviations pic., photo, fig., dwg. can be used.) Special/personal abbreviatons which do not exist at the guide and indexes must be defined at the end of the article.

10.     The article text must be submitted through uploading to the system of DergiPark. [In order to perform this, the writers should check in for membership to system of DergiPark, join the Journal of Art History (https://dergipark.org.tr/std) on the system as the “user” and follow the uploading steps pressing the “submit a manuscript” button at the journal page.

[The "full text file" which contains the titles (Turkish and English), abstracts (Turkish and English), the main text part, vusual materials (if used) and the Bibliography must be uploaded. Besides a "plagiarism report" must be uploaded. (Preferably iTHENTICATE Reports. Turnitin Reports are not acceptable for the article.]
 

If the articles (especially table, italic/bold parts) contain such special fonts as Arabic, Ottoman Turkish, Greek, Chinese, creating a pdf copy of the document and adding to the post is proposed as a precaution against possible incompatibilities at the Word file.

MAIN POINTS

Journal Of Art History is a scientific/scholarly, peer-reviewed journal, and is published biannually; in April and October.

The articles, which must certainly be original and which are prepared within the framework of the mentioned scope and purpose, can be indited in Turkish and English languages. The writers are acknowledged to undertake that the mentioned article is not published or sent to be published anywhere else, the article is clean in terms of ‘plagiarism’ and the visual-graphical materials such as photograph, drawing, picture, and document within the article content do not have any copyright issue. 

Furthermore, the writers are considered to acknowledge that;

● The Journal of Art History do not carry a commercial quality; and therefore, the writers shall not be made any payment;
● Their article in the journal is also published at the “open access model,” where all of the internet users can view and download the document in pdf format through Dergipark, within the body of TÜBİTAK ULAKBİM and/or various national-international indexes;

and, in this respect, are considered to have authorized the Journal of Art History.

Besides, authors are allowed to use and reuse their articles under the CC-BY-NC-ND as the third party users.

PLAGIARISM POLICY & EVALUATION PROCESS AND PRINCIPLES 

The articles sent to be published are expected to comply with the spelling, punctuational and general rules of the language they’re written in, as well as the spelling rules of the journal. The articles sent to the journal are first analyzed and approved by the editor and the publication board, within the framework of the relevant criteria, and then scanned for “plagiarism” by means of some softwares such as the iThenticate which is currently being used. In consequence of the scanning of the main text in the article, the rate of similiarity to another texts without references shall not pass 15%, with the exclusion of the bibliography and the references. It could be asked the author to improve the situation for the ratios between 10% and 20%. However, the article is rejected in case of similarities over 20% without references. In case of the similarity rate is more than 30%, even though references are shown, the article can be rejected by evaluating that the study is weak in terms of "originality" and "contribution to the field". (Currently, the report must be uploaded as a pdf document by the author during the submission process.) 
 

! In the text of the article, in the context of the citation procedure, the following should be taken into consideration:
When the exact same text is to be taken directly from any source, the quoted sentences should be enclosed in quotation marks and reference information (source and page number) should be given in a footnote at the end. If an information or matter from any source is to be given indirectly or to be mentioned, for example:

Doğan Kuban states that the geographical features of the regions are decisive in housing design in a publication¹, however, in another publication² he emphasises the effect of etno-cultural factors; but what Ayda Arel claims are slightly different³.

as can be seen above, the reference information should be given via an apart footnotes at the end of each mention, intimation or implication.

Some authors create "collage"-style quotations by sequentially taking text from various sentences in different publications or sentences on different pages of a book, collating them, adding their own comments to some places; and they gives to the end of the paragraph only one footnote that includes the whole references. This method is not approved by the Journal of Art History.

Quotations and references and quotations style should not be ambiguous and complicated, and should clearly show the reader the source-origin-link in question without any confusion.

! In addition, the articles written on any materials from an official museum, library, archive or excavation, or that include an image of original work / situation / excavation area from those mantioned officals, must have a publication permission certificate or correspondence received from the relevant institution. During the submition process to the Journal, the certificate or correspondence copy must be uploaded as an addition to the article document. Failure to submit such a document could be the reason for the refusal of the study.

! The articles sent to the Journal are expected to comply with the COPE's ethical suggstions and the YÖK's "Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Instruction" .

Steps and Principles of the Evaluation Process
In case of the positive result of the “pre-review” phase; the article is sent to two reviewers in compliance with the “Double blind peer review” principle. In case of the contrast views of the two reviewers, a third reviewer is asked for opinion. (The reviewers are designated in accordance with the area of specialization, among the names listed under the title of Academic Advisory Board of the journal. In case of having an article with a specific subject out of the specialty of the scientists on the list, the relevant scientists are consulted.) The journal editor takes into consideration whether there is a conflict of field and/or interest between the reviewer and the author while choosing a referee. In cases that may disrupt the objective evaluation, another reviewer is appointed.

Accepting the articles to the publication programme is possible with at least two “positive reports” from the related scientific advisors/reviewers. In case of the equality of positive or negative reports of the reviewers, or in case of any hesitation, the decisions of the Editor and the Editorial Board could determine the result. During the mentioned assesment process, the writer could be asked to make the necessary revisions and corrections. (For more information on the process and ethical considerations in this context, see also "Principles for Reviewers")

17) THE REVIEWER'S REPORT (Opinion-Suggestion-Notes) :

THEREFORE, IT WILL BE BENEFICIAL FOR AUTHORS TO PAY ATTENTION TO THESE POINTS WHEN PREPARING THEIR ARTICLES.
 

Conflict of Interest :
Articles to be published in our journal should not contain possible ethical problems that may later cause embarrassment / investigation. In this context, authors should also provide information about possible conflicts of interest in their work on the cover page that includes author-institution information at the beginning of the full text file. Potential addressees and reasons for the conflict of interest should be disclosed. A potential conflict of interest is caused by personal, financial, academic competition; it may even be due to differences in ideologies or beliefs. Therefore, authors who submit articles should provide information on the cover page about:
> Financial support (fund, donation, sponsorship) regarding their work;
> Commercial / financial relationships with potential for conflict of interest
> Whether there is an agreement with the sponsor or contracted institutions and persons that could make the research results suspicious in any way.
> Conflict of interest / potential disputes between the authors of the article

If there is no conflict of interest, it should also be stated in a sentence that there is no potential for conflict of interest.
