Anatolian Studies is the flagship journal of the British Institute at Ankara and is published by Cambridge University Press. The journal publishes research articles focused on the region encompassing Türkiye and the Black Sea littoral in the fields of history, archaeology and cultural heritage, as well as related social science and humanities disciplines, including the digital humanities. We call for papers centring around a clearly defined, overarching research question, the answers to which are supported by new material or substantive evidence, towards the goal of producing new insights and knowledge.
Anatolian Studies accepts new submissions via CUP’s ScholarOne protocol. To submit a manuscript, please visit https://mc.manuscriptcentral.com/ank then follow the instructions on the ‘Start New Submission’ page from the ‘Author’ tab.
UPDATE 31 July 2026: Currently, the journal is in the process of changing publishers. Please note that as a result, the journal’s ScholarOne account will be disabled on 31 August, and all data is currently in the process of being migrated to the new digital submissions platform. If you have already submitted a manuscript via ScholarOne, your files and metadata will be migrated. However, please email publications.editor@biaa.ac.uk for updates on its status, as we are no longer updating the system. Also, until further notice please email any new submissions to publications.editor@biaa.ac.uk. New submissions should be anonymised and accompanied by a title page that includes the full names of all authors and institutional affiliations, if any. Inclusion of a brief cover letter outlining the research and its contributions to studies within the journal’s remit is encouraged. Figures that are too large to be emailed should be shared via non-expiring link.
General correspondence, including issues relating to submission and requests for permission to reproduce material from volumes 1–61 (1951–2011), should be sent to Dr Janine Su, Executive Editor.
Requests for permission to reproduce material from volume 62 (2012) onwards should be sent to Cambridge Journals. For other queries, please contact the BIAA London Office Manager.
