Author Guidelines

The journal publishes review articles and original research papers presenting new scholarly results in historical studies and related fields of the humanities. Particular attention is given to the history of the Turkic peoples of Russia and Eurasia, world history, historiography, source studies, historical methodology, and methods of historical research.

-  The journal accepts manuscripts submitted by postgraduate students and applicants for academic degrees.

-  Manuscripts by master’s students are accepted for consideration only if co-authored with their academic supervisor.

-  The length of the article, excluding metadata — abstract, references, and information about the author — must be at least 25,000 characters.

-  The text must be structured. Authors are expected to follow the IMRAD format — Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion — unless the chosen manuscript genre requires a different structure. In such cases, an authorial structure with clearly identified sections may be used, provided that the sections Introduction and Conclusion are included.

-  Submitting a manuscript as a continuous, unstructured text is not permitted, as this makes the material difficult to read and understand.

-  The reference list must include at least 15 scholarly publications, including no fewer than 2 articles by foreign authors published in highly cited foreign-language journals indexed in Scopus, Web of Science, or similar international scientometric databases.

-  The manuscript must include a Conflict of Interest statement in accordance with the journal template. All authors must disclose any potential conflicts of interest that could be perceived as influencing the results or conclusions presented in the work, or state: “The authors declare no conflict of interest.”

The following documents must be submitted to the journal editorial office:

1. An electronic version of the article in MS Word format, prepared in accordance with the journal template;
2. An expert opinion confirming the possibility of publication;
3. Consent to the processing of personal data and to the placement of the published article in full-text databases, prepared in accordance with the authors’ consent template. A hard copy must be provided for each author with a personal signature; double-sided printing is required;
4. A license agreement prepared in accordance with the agreement template. A hard copy must be provided with the signatures of all authors; double-sided printing is required. The date should not be entered in the agreement.
