The Society will immediately cancel the process of publication of previously published articles if discovered, even if they are accepted by the editorial board on the reports of the referee(s).

- The language of the Belleten is Turkish. If necessary, articles written in widely spoken European languages can also be published.

- In Turkish articles, authors have to comply with the rules set by the TDK (Turkish Language Society) Spelling Guide.

- The application of the articles, prepared according to spelling rules and editorial principles, is made via online publication tracking system [Yayın Takip Sistemi] by signing up on and uploading the articles to https://yaysis.ayk.gov.tr As the process of evaluation and

publication is carried out on the online system, uploaded application files of the article (in PDF or Microsoft Word) should not include the name of the authors/translators.
