Journal of Linguistics Research (JLR) is an academic journal that has been published since 1990.The main aim of the journal is to support the development of general linguistics in Turkey and to promote high-quality scientific publications in this field. While there are no language restrictions, the journal primarily publishes theoretical and applied linguistic articles written in Turkish or English that are based on contemporary linguistic theories and approaches, particularly those concerning Turkish and other Turkic languages spoken in Turkey. The studies to be published are expected to be authentic, high-quality studies that conform to the perspectives, principles, methods, and theories of contemporary linguistics and meet academic standards. Articles submitted to the journal must be original works that have not been previously published or submitted elsewhere for publication. The journal accepts three main types of submissions: (i) research articles, (ii) review or introductory articles (literature overviews), and (iii) book reviews. All submitted articles are first subject to preliminary evaluation by the Editorial Board in terms of general academic standards, the journal’s publication policies, and scope. Articles deemed suitable are then taken into the scientific peer-review process. The criteria required for articles to be accepted into the peer-review process are outlined separately below.Research ArticlesThe following are the mandatory criteria regarding scope compliance for studies to be considered suitable for scientific review: • The study must be grounded in contemporary linguistic approaches and theories, and it must possess a clearly identifiable theoretical framework.• The linguistic problem addressed should be clearly defined within this theoretical framework (or a related applied approach), and the discussion should be conducted in accordance with this framework.• The study should present clear linguistic findings and/or theoretical or applied implications.• The sources used must be current and relevant to both the topic addressed and the existing linguistic literature on the subject. Although the journal requires a defined theoretical framework, it does not impose restrictions on theoretical orientation. Accordingly, both theoretical and applied studies grounded in a well-defined framework are accepted. It is worth noting that language, in addition to linguistics, is also a subject of investigation in various disciplines, such as philol
