Valuation of Incoming Articles:
Blind Referee Type
The International Journal of Human and Art Studies (Ijhar) uses the double-blind method in all studies' evaluation processes. In the double-blind method, the author and referee identities of the studies are hidden.
Initial Evaluation Process
The editors evaluate the works sent to the International Journal of Humanities and Art Researches. At this stage, studies that do not comply with the journal's purpose and scope are weak in terms of language and expression rules in Turkish and English, contain scientifically critical errors, have no original value, and do not meet publication policies. The iThenticate similarity rate is generally 20%, exceeding 3% from the same source studies that are rejected. The rejected works are returned to their authors, along with their justifications. Articles deemed appropriate are reviewed by the chief editor for preliminary evaluation. Author names of the articles found appropriate are hidden and sent to the responsible editor of the relevant field. Next, the articles are sent to two referees who are accepted their works and works in the area for scientific evaluation in line with the opinion of the field editor members. Referees can also be selected from the editors. If one referee's report is positive and the other is negative, the article is sent to a third referee. Two positive referee reports and domain editor approval are required for the article to be published. The authors must consider the criticism, suggestions, and correction requests of the referees and editors of the field. The author may submit the referees' criticism to the Editorial Board and their reasons.
For articles that have completed their refereeing processes and have been decided to publish, the "published" information is announced through the IJHAR official website article system. However, the number of publications depends on the journal's editors and publishing principles.
(ING) Basic Writing Rules:
IJHAR has taken important decisions and made changes in the spelling rules since 2021.
Articles will be written directly into the article template, which can be downloaded here or from the Article Template tab. The template is prepared according to the journal rules. Modification or non-compliance is not recommended. You can delete headings that don't interest you in the article template or add subheadings without breaking the format.
Ijhar assigns a DOI number to each article. For this reason, an extended summary of 700-1000 words to be added under the articles is requested. Detailed information is in the article template.
Writing Rules for the Article Template:
General rules:
Title: It should not exceed 12 words, it should be written in bold and capital letters 14 Pt, its second language equivalent initials should be capitalized, and 12 Pt should be written in average thickness below the title. If the article is in Turkish, the second language should be English, and if the article is in English, the second language should be Turkish. Turkish dialects written in Latin letters are evaluated. The second language of these articles should be Turkish.
Author's Name: It should be written under the Article Title, the title of the job, Orcid, institution address, and e-mail information; 11 Pt should be written in bold 12 pt under the English title.
BUT: The International Journal of Human and Art Studies (Ijhar) uses the double-blind method in the evaluation process of all studies. In the double-blind method, the identities of the authors and referees of the studies are hidden. For this reason, author names remain confidential until the refereeing process is concluded. Authors should not name the article template or file extension in the first submission. Otherwise, our editors will return the article to the author.
