Call for Submissions: INSIGHT TURKEY

Call for Submissions

INSIGHT TURKEY


Currently in its 11th volume, Insight Turkey (www.insightturkey. com) covers a broad range of topics related to Turkish domestic and foreign policy as well as developments in Turkey’s adjacent regions such as the Middle East, the Caucasus, the Balkans and Europe. Covered by major indexing and abstracting systems and databases Insight Turkey is a refereed academic journal with a policy-oriented perspective.

Insight Turkey publishes three categories of material. Articles are 5,000-6,000- word essays that present the findings of research or analysis on a relevant contemporary and historical problem or phenomenon. Comments run around 2,500-3,500 words and make a short, provocative argument on an actual topic of interest with policy relevance. Insight Turkey also publishes reviews of new books or reports; ‘book reviews’ of single works are usually around 700-1,500-words, and ‘review essays’ of a set of books and articles run around 2,000-3,000 words.

Insight Turkey invites both solicited and unsolicited manuscripts to generate articles, commentaries and book reviews. In either case, all submissions go through a vigorous review process through in-house assessment by the editorial staff and/or standard double-blind referee process.

Submissions must be well written and concisely organized. Since the journal’s readership comprises specialists and non-specialists, authors should avoid jargon where possible and use a clear and straightforward language that is appealing to both groups.

We encourage potential contributors to submit unsolicited manuscripts and article proposals. All submissions should be accompanied by an abstract and brief bibliographical note of the author.

Submissions and any questions on editorial issues should be directed to the Editor at insight@insightturk ey.com

INSIGHT TURKEY IS INDEXED AND ABSTRACTED BY
Index Islamicus, IBR, IBSS, International Political Science Abstracts, Left Index, Middle East & Central Asian Studies, Russian Academy of Sciences Bibliographies, Sociological Abstracts and Worldwide Political Science Abstracts.
