Writing Rules

Text & Analysis accepts original theoretical and applied research articles written in Turkish or English that contribute to the academic literature in the fields of cultural and strategic studies. Articles submitted to the journal must be prepared in accordance with the ethical principles, publication policy and writing rules. The editors will return articles that do not comply with the writing rules to the authors.

Articles prepared according to Text & Analysis’s Writing Rules and Article Template are uploaded to the system at DergiPark by the respective author.

Articles submitted to Text & Analysis are checked with iThenticate plagiarism detection software. Articles with a similarity rate exceeding 15% are excluded from the evaluation process.
Articles that meet these requirements and are deemed appropriate in terms of writing rules and format during the editors’ preliminary evaluation are sent to two referees who do not have access to the author’s information. This process is carried out under the supervision of editors and assistant editors within the framework of a double-blind refereeing system.

Articles in Text & Analysis are licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International CC BY-NC 4.0 License. Text & Analysis adopts “Libre Open Access” policy. This policy ensures that authors retain the copyright of their work published in Text & Analysis, and there is no demand for payment. By removing permission barriers, “Libre Open Access” allows studies to be shared, copied, reproduced in any size and format, except for commercial use, and re-edited, transformed, and built upon, with proper attribution to the original work.

Publication Process

For articles submitted to Text & Analysis, the editors initially conduct the preliminary evaluation process, review the writing rules and format, and then prepare a plagiarism and similarity report. After this stage, the evaluation and blind referee processes are initiated under the supervision of editors and assistant editors.

Based on the opinions of the referees, the article is accepted or rejected. The accepted articles are edited by language, writing, and proofreading editors during the publication process. During this process, authors must edit their articles per the recommendations of the respective editors and upload the final version of their articles to the system for typesetting and layout.

Citation and Referencing

Text & Analysis adopts APA 7 in-text citation and referencing system. Authors are encouraged to use citation management software (Endnote, Zotero, Mendeley, etc.).
