Publication Process
At Turaas, every manuscript undergoes a structured and transparent review process that ensures quality, originality, and scholarly relevance. The process is as follows:
Submission
Authors are invited to submit their manuscripts through the official submission channel of Turaas, accompanied by an abstract, author biography, and a declaration of originality. Manuscripts must conform to the prescribed formatting and citation guidelines.
Preliminary Assessment
Upon receipt, the editorial team conducts an initial evaluation to determine the manuscript’s alignment with the thematic and disciplinary scope of Turaas. At this stage, submissions are assessed for academic merit, coherence, and adherence to ethical publishing standards.
Peer Review
Manuscripts that pass the preliminary assessment proceed to a double-blind peer review process. Qualified reviewers with expertise in the relevant discipline assess the manuscript’s scholarly quality, methodological soundness, originality, and contribution to existing literature. Reviewers’ comments are conveyed to the author to facilitate revisions and refinement.
Editorial Decision
Following the peer review, the editorial board deliberates on the reviewers’ recommendations and issues a formal decision. The manuscript may be accepted for publication, accepted subject to minor or major revisions, or declined. Authors are notified of the decision with a detailed report summarizing the reviewers’ and editors’ observations.
Revision and Resubmission
When revisions are requested, authors are expected to respond to all reviewer and editorial comments carefully and comprehensively. The revised manuscript is re-evaluated to ensure the incorporation of all necessary changes before final approval.
Copyediting and Proofreading
Accepted manuscripts undergo a meticulous copyediting process to ensure clarity, precision, and stylistic consistency. All references, citations, and linguistic details are verified according to the Turaas publication style. Authors receive final proofs for approval prior to publication.
Design and Production
The production team finalizes the interior layout, typesetting, and cover design in accordance with the professional and aesthetic standards of Turaas. Each title is assigned an International Standard Book Number (ISBN) and prepared for release in both print and digital formats.
Publication and Dissemination
Upon final approval, the work is published under the Turaas imprint. The publication is made available through academic and commercial channels, including the Turaas website and partner platforms, to ensure wide scholarly accessibility and impact.
