Aim and Scope
Hacettepe University Journal of Turkish Studies (HUTAD), is a referred journal published semi annually since 2004, by the Institute of Turkish Studies at Hacettepe University. The Journal covers theoretic and/or practical studies on historical, linguistic, corporate, social, cultural, economic, political aspects related to Turkish Studies as well as contemporary issues in an interdisciplinary approach.
Evaluation
The articles sent to the journal for publication are scanned with the Turnitin program and their similarity indexes are checked. Articles with a similarity rate of more than 10% are not accepted to the journal. Those with a similarity rate of less than 10% and those found suitable as a result of the preliminary evaluation of the Editorial Board are sent to two field experts, with the name of the author hidden, to be reviewed and reported. In line with double-blind review, authors cannot see referee names and referees cannot see author names under no circumstances. In cases where both reports are positive, the article is accepted to the journal; If one of the reports is negative, the opinion of a third expert is sought. Articles, for which two negative reports have been issued, cannot be published in the journal. Authors are expected to take the criticism, evaluation and suggestions of the Editorial Board or experts into account; however, the authors also have the right to examine the reports and express their own opinions. Referee reports are kept for a period of two years. Articles sent to the journal are not returned whether they are published or not. The authors bear full responsibility for their opinions expressed in published articles.
In the preliminary evaluation process, firstly, it is checked whether the articles have been published elsewhere, whether they are technically compliant with the journal rules and their similarity rates. At this stage, articles with a similarity rate below 10% but requiring correction in terms of form are sent back to the authors, and after the authors make the necessary corrections, the articles are taken to the preliminary evaluation stage again.
Articles that pass the preliminary evaluation are refereed at the monthly Editorial Board meetings. Thus, the evaluation process starts with at least two referees in accordance with the principle of double blind refereeing.
The Editorial Board decides which issue to publish the manuscripts with positive referee evaluations according to the subject distribution, arrival and acceptance dates. After all articles to be published are proofread in Turkish and English, they go through technical control and layout stages and authors are requested to approve the final versions of their articles and to sign and send the Copyright Transfer letter.
