The articles should not be shorter than 4500 words nor longer than 10 000 words. Book reviews should be between 1500-2500 words. (The footnotes and references sections are not included in the word count)
The articles should be sent with summaries, not exceeding 200 words, added to the first page of the article along with Heading, and Key Words.
The authors should provide their names, titles, place of duty and e-mails.
The graphics or visual material desired to be used in articles should be of high resolution quality. It should be kept in mind that the as journal is published in black and white so graphics should be chosen accordingly.
The journal contains articles both in Turkish and English.
References should be notified with endnotes and at the end of the text, under the title of "References" , the full identification of references should be provided in an alphabetical order according to the surnames of the authors. The completion of the missing sections in footnotes and references is the most energy and time consuming act in the period towards publishing.
Review Process
The articles submitted to the editorial of the Eurasian File are initially examined in accordance with the general publishing standards by the Publishing Committee. The preliminary examination period lasts the most 3 weeks and upon a positive confirmation by the committee the article is sent to two experts in the related field for referee evaluation. Upon receiving a positive rating from both referees, the committee decides to publish the article. If one referee judges the article positively while the other does not, than the committee asks for an evaluation from a third referee and his final judgment is taken into account.
The authors need to make the necessary corrections foreseen by the referee and take into account the criticisms of the Publishing Board. Under conditions of disagreement, they are required to justify their claims to the editor. In communicating with the referee, the "blind referee" rule is implemented.
The authors acknowledge that by submitting their articles to the Eurasian File they transfer all the rights affiliated with the article to ASAM.
One month (the most) from the date of publishing, an authors fee of 300$ (for those authors submitting their articles from abroad-and 400 New Turkish Liras from Turkey) is paid to the authors whose articles have been published in the Eurasian file along with 3 copies of the related edition.
