Kalemisi does not
charge any submission or processing fee from authors.
As a first step, the manuscripts that are sent to Kalemisi are
evaluated with regards to the rules of journal principles and orthographic
rules. The approved articles are delivered to Editorial Board. The Editorial
Board evaluates the context of articles and sends them to two referees in
related fields. The Editorial Board makes final decision whether publish the
article or not in terms of the referee’s report. The articles which are
decided to being published by the Editorial Board, come in the list of
publication and the authors of these articles are informed.
The authors’ royalties of articles (published in Kalemisi)
are supposed to be assigned by Kalemisi. The responsibilities of
opinions in published articles are under author’s charge.
This journal uses double-blind review, which
means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the
reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate
this, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that
does not give away their identity.
All submissions are handled electronically. Papers should be
submitted via the online submission website. Receipt of a submission is
systematically confirmed. The Journal aims to make editorial decisions within 4
weeks of submission. Papers are accepted for review only on the condition that
they have neither as a whole nor in part been published elsewhere, are
elsewhere under review or have been accepted for publication. In case of any
doubt authors must notify the editor of the relevant circumstances at the time
of submission. It is understood that authors accept the copyright conditions
stated in the journal if the paper is accepted for publication.
