All submissions should be made online at the New Perspectives on Turkey Scholar One Manuscripts website. New users should first create an account. Once logged on to the site, submissions should be made via the Author Center. Online user guides and access to a helpdesk are available on here.
Manuscripts should be compiled in the following order:
- Cover page, including:
- Authors, including Corresponding Author designation, full contact details and affiliations
- Abstract (<200 words)
- Keywords (5–8)
- Disclosures
- Main text
- Acknowledgements
- Financial Support
- References
- Appendices (as appropriate)
- Table(s) with caption(s) (on individual pages)
- Figure caption(s) (as a list)
Paperpal Preflight
Prior to submission we recommend that authors use Paperpal Preflight, a service that instantly checks your manuscript against submission guidelines and flags any potential issues that might prevent your paper from passing the initial checks made by the Editorial office. The tool is free to use, however there is also an optional paid-for service that provides a tracked-changes version of the submission in a report with suggested modifications. These also include recommendations about spelling, punctuation, and grammar.
Authors using the service should then submit their manuscript to the journal in the normal way (i.e. without any tracked changes from using the Paperpal Preflight tool). Authors should also note that usage of the tool is entirely separate from the peer review process and will not impact upon any editorial decisions made.
Important notice
We have become aware that websites such as BrightLink Research Index and University Press Journals are claiming to offer publication in certain Cambridge University Press journals for a fee. We do not work with such companies.
Submissions to Cambridge University Press journals can only be made via the online peer review systems linked to from this Cambridge Core website, or else directly to the editorial offices of those journals that do not operate online peer review systems. Under no circumstances will New Perspectives on Turkey request authors to make payments, other than designated Open Access charges, and any such request should be treated as fraudulent. All submissions should be made directly through the NPT submission site.

ORCID
We encourage authors to identify themselves using ORCID when submitting a manuscript to this journal. ORCID provides a unique identifier for researchers and, through integration with key research workflows such as manuscript submission and grant applications, provides the following benefits:
- Discoverability: ORCID increases the discoverability of your publications, by enabling smarter publisher systems and by helping readers to reliably find work that you have authored.
- Convenience: As more organisations use ORCID, providing your iD or using it to register for services will automatically link activities to your ORCID record, and will enable you to share this information with other systems and platforms you use, saving you re-keying information multiple times.
- Keeping track: Your ORCID record is a neat place to store and (if you choose) share validated information about your research activities and affiliations.
See our ORCID FAQs for more information. If you don’t already have an iD, you can create one by registering directly at https://ORCID.org/register.
ORCIDs can also be used if authors wish to communicate to readers up-to-date information about how they wish to be addressed or referred to (for example, they wish to include pronouns, additional titles, honorifics, name variations, etc.) alongside their published articles. We encourage authors to make use of the ORCID profile’s “Published Name” field for this purpose. This is entirely optional for authors who wish to communicate such information in connection with their article. Please note that this method is not currently recommended for author name changes: see Cambridge’s author name change policy if you want to change your name on an already published article. See our ORCID FAQs for more information.
