History Studies uses the LOCKSS (Lots of Copies Keep Stuff Safe) protocol to ensure long-term storage and accessibility of articles with Dergipark infrastructure. Articles are permanently recorded by identifying them with DOI (Digital Object Identifier) via Crossref. In this way, articles are assigned a unique identity and indexed in accordance with international standards. In addition, the full texts of the articles are stored in publicly available commercial and/or non-commercial archives, including TR-Dizin and other national or international indexing platforms. Authors are free to store and share their articles on their own websites.5. Copyright and Licencing

JOURNAL APPLICATIONS
7. Peer Review
History Studies adopts the principle of double blind refereeing. Author/authors and referees cannot see each other's information. Author information is removed from the articles before the referee evaluation. In order to make an acceptance decision about the articles, the opinions of at least two referees are taken. Articles are sent to the third referee when deemed necessary. The acceptance criteria for all articles published without exception are based on the quality of the research, its original contribution to the international literature, and its scientific importance and value.History Studies reviews each article submitted for publication from various perspectives. In the first stage, the articles are analysed for their conformity with the journal's purpose and scope as well as its editorial guidelines. If the articles complete this first stage positively, they can proceed to the peer review stage. The first evaluation stage of the articles is internal; peer/referee evaluation is carried out by external experts.
Referee evaluations are sent to the authors as soon as possible. For manuscripts that require revision, the author is given a period of two to four weeks. Authors are required to submit the changes they have made to the article in response to the referee evaluations to the editorial office with a revision report. After the revision, the referees are given a two-week period to re-evaluate the article.
No exceptions will be applied to any article submitted for publication, nor will any commitment be made on any subject (such as that it will definitely be published and/or published in this issue).
