Fee Policy
In accordance with the decision taken by the Higher Education Council (YÖK) at the General Assembly meeting on 07.03.2019, Academic History and Thought Journal is eligible for inclusion in the declaration of associate professorship applications. Since our journal falls under the category of journals that charge an article processing fee (APC) at the time of submission, regardless of acceptance or rejection, it does not qualify as a Predatory/Dubious journal.
Authors will not be refunded for articles that are rejected following the peer review process. Additionally, YÖK's Frequently Asked Questions and Answers section on Predatory/Dubious Journals from January 2021 explicitly states in response to Question 44:
"Journals that request a fee or an additional fee from the author for publication after article acceptance (Predatory/Dubious Journals) cannot be used in the declaration for associate professorship applications, as this constitutes a conflict of interest. However, these works may be included in the CV and list of publications."
Within this framework, journals meeting the following criteria may be included in the associate professorship application declaration:
*Journals that charge a fee at the time of submission, regardless of acceptance or rejection,
*Subscription-based journals that charge a fee to make an article open access,
*Journals that do not request any fees from authors throughout the publication process.
Academic History and Thought Journal does not receive financial support from any institution, organization, or sponsor. Article processing fees are collected solely to cover expenses related to the publication process.
Article Processing Fee
Articles uploaded to the system become subject to a fee after editorial approval. Authors are required to pay an article processing fee of 1,800 TL to cover costs such as DOI registration, intermediary service charges, publication evaluation process, and translation and revision of abstracts in foreign languages.
Authors who have reviewed two articles for our journal, as well as members of the editorial board and editors, are exempt from this fee.
For articles submitted from abroad, a fee of 117 USD or 200 Azerbaijani Manat is required, regardless of the country of submission.
Expedited Review Process
In the expedited review process, the initial decision is expected to be made within an average of three weeks from submission. However, it should be noted that this process does not increase the likelihood of acceptance.

No refunds will be issued for articles rejected after peer review or withdrawn by the author before the evaluation process is completed. There is no guarantee of publication, and fees will not be refunded for articles that do not successfully pass the review process.
By submitting an article, each author is deemed to have accepted the terms outlined above.
