Throughout the publication process, which continues until the completion of a volume, the publication policy must be followed under the scientific norms and criteria set by the editors. The yearly volume of the PHILIA journal is published continuously in December; submission of an article is, at the latest, at the end of August of the relevant year. In addition, a Turkish summary should be found at the end of each article. The submitted article must not have been published before or submitted to another journal and is not being evaluated within the publication process. In the PHILIA journal, an article in the publication process should be presented in a separate journal once the editorial process is finished. At least two field expert reviewers evaluate each submitted article, and the final result is reported to the authors within three months. The PHILIA Publication Principles must be used to prepare the articles to be submitted. Each article is examined against plagiarism using the iThenticate program. In addition, the authors must submit to the editors and editorial board the permission to publish archaeological, epigraphical and numismatic materials that are the subject of their work. The works not mentioned in the source and not submitted with the consent of publication are not accepted to the publication process. As a result of the journal's publication, the legal and scientific responsibilities that may arise regarding the article belong to the authors.
The works submitted to the journal in the specific disciplines are presented to the reviewers of the field experts determined by the editorial board. During the reviewer evaluation process, blind-reviewer practice is carried out, so authors and reviewers must be aware of each other. The work is considered appropriate for publication as the result of the evaluation is in the current issue. Authors should submit the copyright transfer forms to the editorial board for the articles to be published in the journal. Under these copyrights, the authors are deemed to have accepted that they will not be able to publish or re-evaluate the published manuscript without the consent of the editorial board.
