Author Guidelines
1. Beytulhikme is a peer-reviewed academic journal and is published quarterly in March, June, September, and December. The official languages of the journal are Turkish and English. The journal is published as hybrid open-access.
2. In addition to original research papers, Beytulhikme is also pleased to publish works related to academic activities in philosophy, interviews, book and paper reviews, and critical reviews. There is a strict limit in length for these kinds of submissions: Such works should be between 600-1000 words in length.
3. Beytulhikme is also pleased to publish translations. All translations must include the title of the original paper, the name of the original author, the date and the place of the original publication, the information about the original publishing company and its consent if it is still under copyright protection.
4. All manuscripts must contain a 150-word abstract and keywords both in Turkish and English. The manuscripts should not exceed 7000 words. Also, the text must be double-spaced. All margins must be set at 4.5 cm except the bottom margin which must be 3.5 cm. References and bibliography should be given at the end of the paper in APA Style.
5. Each submission is evaluated by at least two referees. Since the manuscripts are double-blind reviewed, they must be prepared for anonymous reading, with no self-reference in any section of the works submitted. The submissions should be made electronically via the Manuscript Tracking System through the journal’s website.
6. Any pictures or images to be used in the paper should be submitted to the journal as a single separate JPG or JPEG file and should not exceed 10x20 cm in size.
7. The Editorial Board is fully authorized to make the final decision whether to publish any work submitted. Authors are fully responsible for all ideas and contents of their works. Once published, authors transfer the exclusive copyrights of their work to the journal indefinitely; thus Beytulhikme owns all copyrights of the works published in the journal.

In-text citations and end reference lists should both ascribe to the APA system.
