Arts and Humanities Perspectives is an online, international, peer-reviewed journal. All articles published are rigorously and efficiently reviewed to meet the Journal Quality Standards. Arts and Humanities Perspectives is dedicated to publishing empirical, academic, theoretical and review research articles that contribute to the practice in arts, humanities, and related interdisciplinary topics. The journal welcomes submissions in the areas of Art History, Visual Arts, Music, Literature, Theatre and Performance Studies, Cultural Studies, Philosophy, History, Linguistics, Media Studies, Museum Studies, Religious Studies, Digital Humanities, Intercultural Studies, and other areas related to arts and humanities.

An author is a person who has a substantial contribution to the article; all other contributions should be mentioned as acknowledgments. Authors should cite only the articles which have contributed to their work; unnecessary citations should not be listed. Authors should present their work as objectively as possible. Arguments that discriminate people by race, sex, origin, religion, etc. are not accepted. Bogus results must not be given. Reviewers should not take advantages from the manuscript; instead, they should help the authors to improve their work. Reviewers should not criticize in public the manuscripts. The Editor guarantees the anonymity of the reviewer. Arts and Humanities Perspectives operates a single blind review process. All contributions will be initially assessed by the editor-in-chief for suitability for the Journal. Papers which are suitable are sent to a minimum of two independent expert reviewers to assess the scientific quality of the paper. The reviewer can be a member of the Arts and Humanities Perspectives Editorial Board or an expert from the worldwide academic community. The review period depends from the research topic of the manuscript and the availability of the reviewers. An average review process period is between 1 - 60 days. In general, the reviewers check the importance of the article in the academic community, if it is easy to read and the validity of the academic content. An article can be rejected from the reviewers’ due of poor language quality, lack of proper structure, lack of new academic ideas, lack of clear concepts or conclusions. The Editor is responsible for the final decision regarding acceptance or rejection of the articles.

Publishing Ethics

The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is an essential building block in the development of a coherent and respected network of knowledge. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the academic method. It is therefore important to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer, the publisher and the society of society-owned or sponsored journals.
