WRITING RULES

Turkish Management Review (TMR) is open access, peer-reviewed, scientific journal that publishes theoretical and/or applied original articles, book reviews, translations, reviews, symposium evaluations and conference articles in the field of management sciences. TMR is published as an electronic publication twice a year (June and December). Publication languages ​​are Turkish and English.

Deadline for submission of articles: end of April for the June term and October for the December term.

In the article acceptance process, the entire publication process is followed by using the TMR online system available at www.turmr.com.

Articles should be between 3500-9000 words excluding extended summaries. Articles that are shorter or longer than the specified range will not be considered. The Extended Summary section should consist of 750-1000 words. Manuscripts should not exceed 10,000 words in total.

An extended summary should be included at the end of the articles. The English “Extended Summary” section should be placed at the end of Turkish articles, and the Turkish “Extended Summary” section should be placed at the end of English articles. There should be no subtitles in the Extended Summary section. The Extended Summary section should provide readers with information about the entire study (research purpose, method, findings and results, etc.). The Extended Summary section should start on a new page and consist of 750-1000 words. This part should be carefully written in terms of grammar, expression and scope. It should be noted that this section will represent the international dimension of the journal and the article.

The articles submitted to the journal must be original and not previously published elsewhere or the publication process is not in progress.

The articles sent for publication are subject to pre-check, plagiarism control, referee evaluation and Turkish-English language control. The work, which does not pass this process even though it has been examined three times during the Pre-Check Stage, is returned to the author and is not processed again in the same publication period. Studies that pass the Pre-Check stage are included in the evaluation process in which at least two referees are assigned within the framework of the double-blind refereeing principle.

In TMR, it is highly recommended to create a video abstract of the studies and to introduce the studies in the authors' own words (See the Video Abstract Guide for details) and is preferred.

The articles use the APA 7 reference style.

The article should be made in accordance with the journal writing rules before it is sent.

You need to edit and submit your article via the Article Template in the Templates and Forms section. Works that do not comply with the Sample Template will not be considered.

In some studies, the absence of elements and titles specified in the template is not a problem. Titles may vary depending on the scope of the study.

Book Review Writing Rules

A book presentation should be a critical evaluation of a work, not just a summary. If the author disagrees with the book, he should state, and indicate the sample aspects or deficiencies of the book, or if he agrees with the book author, he should express it.
