Manuscripts are welcome either in English or Turkish languages.

Articles which have been published previously or that are under consideration for publication elsewhere should not be submitted to METU JFA.

  2. Review papers;
  3. Short communications and viewpoints;
  4. Commissioned papers on contemporary agendas (Invitation only);

All submissions are subject to a double-blind peer-review process.

Inappropriate submissions will be desk rejected. These include manuscripts that focus on a too narrow local context or case with limited transferability of findings; manuscripts with poor language quality; and the translation of previously published work.
