Submission Procedure

There is no annual deadline for submissions.

Articles must be submitted in English in accordance with the Institute’s Style Guide (available from the Institute’s website, www.biaa.ac.uk). Articles written by authors whose first language is not English must be proof read and corrected by a native English speaker prior to submission.

Complete articles (i.e. text, tables and figures) should be submitted electronically as email attachments to [email protected]. For initial consideration, a single pdf file is preferred. However, please note the guidelines for publication‐quality electronic images outlined in the Style Guide.

On receipt of submissions, authors will receive a letter acknowledging receipt and outlining the review process (see below) and the terms and conditions under which articles are accepted for publication in Anatolian Studies.

Review process

Following submission, an article is reviewed as follows.

The Academic and Executive Editors assess the article and decide whether it should be declined immediately or sent for review by specialist academic referees.

If the article is not declined immediately, it will be sent to two specialist referees who are asked to return their comments within one month using a standard review form.

Following receipt of the referees’ reports, the article is reassessed by the Academic and Executive Editors, sometimes in consultation with other members of the Editorial Board of Anatolian Studies. At this stage, the article may be (a) accepted,(b) accepted subject to minor revisions (c), returned for major revisions ahead of resubmission and further review or (d) declined.

If the paper is accepted subject to minor revisions or returned for major revisions, the author(s) will be sent a report based on the reviews of the referees which details the recommended revisions.

Revised versions of articles accepted subject to minor revisions or returned for major revisions must address all the issues raised in the initial report and authors must provide explanations for any suggested revisions they feel unable to undertake.

There will be one opportunity only for resubmission in the case of revisions being requested.

The editors aim to complete the initial review of an article within two months of submission. However, the refereeing process relies on extremely busy academics and it is not always possible to adhere to this timetable.

Publication process

Once an article has been accepted, the author should submit the final text, tables and print‐quality figures to the Executive Editor.
