General information

Anatolian Studies is the annual journal of the British Institute at Ankara and is published by Cambridge University Press.

An electronic version of the journal is published simultaneously with the hard‐copy publication. Three years after publication, articles published in Anatolian Studies are made available electronically via the JSTOR scholarly journal archive (www.jstor.org).

Anatolian Studies is the flagship journal of the British Institute at Ankara (BIAA). It publishes peer‐reviewed research articles focused on Turkey and the Black Sea littoral region in the fields of history, archaeology and related social sciences.

Preliminary site reports and catalogues without substantial contextualisation and discussion will not normally be accepted for publication (although preliminary discussion of issues arising from fieldwork are welcomed).

Obituaries will not normally be included. However, if the individual has made a substantial contribution to the BIAA and/or to Turkish/Black Sea studies the inclusion of an obituary will be at the discretion of the editors.

Thematic articles are welcomed. Such articles would be broader in scope than standard articles published in the journal but should still retain a precise thematic focus.

Articles arising from conference presentations are welcomed.

Individual volumes will not normally be dedicated to an individual or one thematic subject.
