Turkish Studies is a refereed journal. Articles submitted to Turkish Studies should be original contributions and should not be under consideration for any other publication at the same time. If another version of the article is under consideration by another publication, or has been, or will be published elsewhere, authors should clearly indicate this at the time of submission.
Turkish Studies welcomes manuscript submissions.:
- All feature articles should be between 5,000 and 7,500 words and sent via e-mail to editor Barry Rubin at profbarryrubin@yahoo.com
- Book reviews should be e-mailed to Medi Nahmiyaz at mnahmiyaz@yahoo.com
- Please consult our style sheet before sending any materials. We also welcome queries and proposals for articles sent to these addresses.
Manuscripts
Articles should be double-spaced and with ample margins. All pages (including those containing only diagrams and tables) should be numbered consecutively.
There is no standard length for articles, but 5,000-7,500 words (including notes and references) is a useful target. The article should begin with an indented and italicized summary of around 100 words, which should describe the main arguments and conclusions.
Details of the author's institutional affiliation, full address and other contact information should be included on a separate cover sheet. Any acknowledgements should be included on the cover sheet, as should a note of the exact length of the article.
All diagrams, charts, graphs and maps should be referred to as figures and consecutively numbered. Tables should be kept to a minimum and contain only essential data. Each figure and table must be given an Arabic numeral, followed by a heading, and be referred to in the text.
Following acceptance for publication, articles should be submitted in rich text format (.RTF). To facilitate the typesetting process, notes should be grouped together at the end of the file. Tables should also be placed at the end of the file. Tables should be saved as text using the appropriate function within your word processor. If this function is not available then tables should be prepared using tabs. Any diagrams or maps should be copied in uncompressed .TIF or .JPG formats in individual files. Figures should be prepared in black and white.

Style Authors are responsible for ensuring that their manuscripts conform to the journal style. The editors will not undertake retyping of manuscripts before publication. Particular attention is drawn to the following points:
Spelling: American spelling and punctuation should be used throughout. Turkish letters must be used.
Numbers from one to ten should be spelled out, other numbers should be given as Arabic numerals. Dates should be in the form December 21, 1999; 1994-98; the 1990s. Use percent rather than %.
Sub-headings: should be in bold, upper and lower case. Sub-sub-headings should be in italics, upper and lower case.
Notes: The number of notes should be kept to a minimum. They should be numbered consecutively throughout the article, using a raised numeral in the text, to correspond to a list of notes placed at the end.
In the list of notes, consistency is most important in references to books, articles and manuscript sources; note that initial capitals are used for all nouns and important adjectives in titles. Some examples are given below. All of the information shown must be included.
