Notice to Contributors
The Editorial Board welcomes submission of material for consideration
as an article, as a book or film review, as a comment on articles previously
published in the Journal of American Studies of Turkey or as a note about
past events, announcing coming ones, or constituting calls for papers. The articles
should be approximately 3000-5000 words in length (10-15 double-spaced typed
pages), the book reviews should not exceed 500 words (two double-spaced typed
pages), and comments and notes should be as brief as possible. The articles
should be consistent with the objectives and scope of the Journal of American
Studies of Turkey.
No manuscript will be considered for publication if it is currently under
consideration by another journal or press or if it has been published or is
soon to be published elsewhere. Both restrictions apply to the substance as
well as to the exact wording of the manuscript. If the manuscript is accepted,
the editorial board expects that its appearance in the Journal of American
Studies of Turkey will precede republication of the essay, or any significant
part thereof, in another work.
Authors should allow three to six months for a reply after the submission
of the manuscript.
Manuscripts should be arranged in the following order of presentation. First
sheet: title, subtitle (if any), author's name, affiliation, full postal address
and telephone (and/or Fax) number, e-mail address (if any), acknowledgements
(if any). Respective affiliations and addresses of co-authors should be clearly
indicated. Subsequent sheets: main body of text, list of references (works cited)
and notes (if any), appendices (if any). The text should be organized under
appropriate section headings where possible.
Notes, limited to explanatory ones, should be included only when absolutely
necessary. The MLA-1988 author-page style of documentation should be strictly
observed.
Book reviews should include a brief description of the subjects covered
in the book; an evaluation of the book's strength and weaknesses; and the kind(s)
of audiences to whom the book might appeal. The heading of the review should
include the following information:
a. Title.
b. Author(s) or Editor(s).
c. Publication date.
d. Number of pages.
e. Price of book and postage and handling charges (if known).
f. Name and address of publisher.
Manuscripts should be prepared on a word processor and printed double-spaced
(including notes and works cited) with wide margins, on one side of the paper
only. They should be sent in four copies (making sure you retain one for your
files), along with their text-only or MS-Word files on a 3.5 inch HD diskette
in IBM-compatible or Macintosh format.
The copyright of all material published will be vested in the Journal
of American Studies of Turkey unless otherwise specifically agreed.
