Instructions for Authors
Theosophia is a peer-reviewed academic journal where Turkish, English, German and Arabic articles published semi-annually. In order for the articles sent for evaluation to be accepted, it is required that they have not been published before. Submitted articles are first reviewed by the editorial board. If an article meets the necessary conditions in terms of content and form, the reviewers then subject the article to review for its suitability for publication. All articles are evaluated by two reviewers and sent to a third reviewer if deemed necessary. The publication of an article depends on the approval of the reviewers. The authors are responsible for making the necessary corrections requested by the reviewers.
