* Journal of Central Asia and the Caucasian Studies (JCACS) is a refereed journal and published twice (Winter and Summer) a year.
* JCACS publishes scholarly articles in Turkish and English from all over the world. The Editorial Office of the JCACS is in the International Strategic Research Organisation (ISRO) central building in Ankara, Turkey. However the journal is an independent publication in terms of scientific research and the editors decide its publication policy.
* JCACS focuses on legal, political, sociological, cultural, social, religious, anthropological and economic studies regarding the Central Asia, Caucasus and neighbouring states' (Turkey, Iran, Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, China, Mongolia, Russia) and regions' (Black Sea, South
Asia, Middle East, Far East) relations with the Central Asia and the Caucasus.
* The journal encourages interdisciplinary studies. Manuscripts submitted to JCACS should be original and challenging, and should not be under consideration by another publication at the time of submission.
* We also welcome short pieces on recent developments and review articles.
* Articles submitted for consideration of publication are subject to peer review. The editorial board and editors take consideration whether submitted manuscript follows the rules of scientific writing. The appropriate articles are then sent to two referees known for their
academic reputation in their respective areas.
The Editors and referees use three-step guidelines in assessing submissions:
i) Literary quality: Writing style, usage of the language, organisation (paragraphing, syntax, flow etc.)
ii) Use of references. Referencing, sources, relationships of the footnotes to the text.
iii) Scholarship quality: Depth of research, quality; contribution, originality of the contribution (new and creative thought) and plausibility of the author's argument.
Upon the referees' decision, the articles will be published in the journal, or rejected for publication. The review process lasts from five to 15 weeks. Questions regarding the status of submissions should be directed to the Editor by e-mail at turgutdem@yahoo.co.uk or
hasanozertem@gmail.com.
The referee reports are kept confidential and stored in the archives for five years.
Aim
JCACS's aim is to generate a productive dialogue and exchange between theorists, writers and practitioners in disparate locations. JCACS assumes that one of the main problems in Central Asian and Caucasian studies is lack of dialogue between writers and scholars from different
cultural backgrounds. All manuscripts and editorial correspondence and enquiries should be addressed to the JCACS Editorial Office (The Office).
Submission
We prefer electronic submission to turgutdem@yahoo.co.uk, or hasanozertem@gmail.com as a Microsoft word attachment file. Please be sure that you received a confirmation from The Office. Manuscripts should be one-and-half or double spaced throughout (including all quotations and footnotes) and typed in English on single sides of A4 paper. Generous margins on both sides of the page should be allowed. Pages should be numbered consecutively. The author should
retain a copy, as submitted manuscripts cannot be returned. Full names of the author(s) should be given, an address for correspondence, and where possible a contact telephone number, facsimile number and e-mail address.
Length
Articles as a rule should not exceed 10.000 words, not including footnotes. Book reviews should be about 2.500 word-length for one book, or maximum 3.500 words for two or more books.
