Full papers must be prepared in accordance with the formatting guidelines specified below and submitted by October 30, 2026. Papers presented and accepted at the conference will be published as an electronic book (e-book) in a conference proceedings book with an assigned ISBN number. The proceedings book will be made available to participants after the conference.
Full papers should be prepared in Microsoft Word format and sent as an email attachment to ukags@emu.edu.tr.
Publication Process and Preferences
All papers submitted to the conference will undergo a double-blind peer-review process. Abstracts of accepted papers will be included in the abstract book to be published before the conference. Unless otherwise stated, papers presented at the conference will be published in the proceedings book.
The conference proceedings book will be published with an ISBN and delivered to all authors. However, authors may choose to redirect their work to the peer-review process for consideration in the Kadın/Woman 2000 Journal for Women's Studies instead of the proceedings book. This preference must be communicated to the organizing committee before the proceedings book printing process begins.
