AUTHOR GUIDELINES

PUBLICATION PRINCIPLES

1. Founded in 2016, the Bartın University Journal of the Faculty of Letters is an international peer-reviewed journal that is published twice a year, in June and December. Submitted manuscripts are reviewed by the Editorial Board for their relevance to the journal's aims, scope, content, and adherence to spelling and punctuation rules. Manuscripts that meet the journal’s writing guidelines are forwarded to two (2) expert reviewers in the relevant field for scientific evaluation, with the authors’ names concealed. The decision to publish a manuscript is made based on the reviewers’ reports.

2. The language of the journal is Turkish. However, in each issue, a maximum of two articles in other Turkic dialects or foreign languages may also be included.

3. Manuscripts submitted to the Bartın University Journal of the Faculty of Letters must not have been previously published elsewhere. Papers presented at a scientific conference but not published may be considered for publication, provided this is explicitly stated.

4. The authors bear full academic responsibility for the content of their manuscripts.

5. An author may not have more than one article published as the primary author in the same issue of the journal.

6. Copyright: The copyright of published manuscripts is considered to be transferred to the Bartın University Journal of the Faculty of Letters. Authors are responsible for the intellectual and scientific content of their work, while authors and translators are responsible for the legal aspects of translations. In the case of co-authored manuscripts, the primary author holds the copyright responsibility. Articles and photographs published in the journal may be cited provided proper attribution is given.
