STYLE GUIDE FOR AUTHORS
Foreword / Önsöz This guide has been prepared as a quick reference for NPT authors and deals with commonly encountered issues when preparing manuscripts for NPT in particular and in the field of Turkish studies more generally. With a few minor exceptions, NPT follows the extensive style advice provided by the 16th edition of the Chicago Manual of Style. Queries on general style and usage in English texts may be directed to the official Chicago Manual website or the print edition listed in the references and resources section. Nevertheless, where the discipline and journal-specific advice given here contradicts the Chicago Manual, we of course prefer that you follow our own house style. We hope this advice will be useful to you, our authors, and help you to produce manuscripts that can be edited quickly by our very small and partly voluntary editorial team.
Respectfully / Saygılarımla, The Editors
1
STYLE GUIDE FOR AUTHORS
1 The Manuscript 1.1 Formatting the manuscript Manuscripts should be submitted in size 12 in a readable font (Times, Arial, Calibri, etc.). The main text and footnotes should both be double spaced and left-aligned (ragged right). Formatting the manuscript in this way is a courtesy which aids screen readability and the use of track changes and comment tools used in the editing and review process. NPT uses both footnotes and a final reference list. You must format all your cıtatıons in line with the Notes and Bibliography style of the Chicago Manual of Style 16th edition. Further information on the Notes and Bibliography style (also called the Humanities Style) is available at the official website of the Chicago Manual of Style, www.chicagomanualofstyle.org. It is not the responsibility of the editors to spend long hours converting your citation style. If you do not follow these guidelines you will be asked to reformat your paper prior to editing and this may ultimately cause publication delays.
1.2 Completing the manuscript Authors are responsible for submitting a complete manuscript, including an abstract of not more than 200 words, author affiliation(s) and contact details, and a final reference list, a list of image credits, and all diagrams, tables, figures, captions, and footnote citations. It is not the responsibility of the editors to add material to your manuscript. If you do not provide all the necessary sections you will be asked to add any missing material prior to editing and this may ultimately cause publication delays.
1.3 NPT manuscript formats Please use the following as a check list to make sure you have included all the necessary sections and information in your submission. For examples of the format and style of completed articles and reviews, please see our website, www.newperspectivesonturkey.net.
1.3.1 NPT Article format
Length: Articles should not generally exceed 10,000 words, including footnotes and final reference list. Title: Titles and subtitles in the article are to be capitalized sentence style (i.e., only the first word and proper nouns), see 2.5 Capitalization of titles. Abstract: Articles carry an abstract of no more than 200 words under the title. An abstract must give a sense of the focus, scope, argument and (please) conclusions of the whole paper. 1
NEW PERSPECTIVES ON TURKEY
Author note: Author(s) affiliation, postal address, and email included on an unnumbered note above the first footnote. The author note may also be used for any acknowledgements. Footnotes and reference list: Follow Chicago Manual Notes and Bibliography style (see
2
STYLE GUIDE FOR AUTHORS
3.2 Footnote citation style and 3.4 Reference list style). Tables, figures and images: Provide these in a separate document (see
3
NEW PERSPECTIVES ON TURKEY
1.4 Figures). Indicate their preferred placement in the main text, and provide a full caption and citation/permission beneath (see 1.4.3 Placement and captions).
1.3.2 NPT Book review format
Length: Book reviews should not exceed 1,500 words. Title: Book reviews carry no title. The title of a book review is a full Chicago bibliographical reference to the reviewed book, including the number of its pages, including front matter, in the format, “xi + 321 pages.” References: References in the text to pages of the reviewed book appear in brackets in the text preceded by the abbreviation p. / pp., e.g., (p. 21) or (pp. 21–23). Footnotes and reference list: Book reviews do not carry footnotes or a reference list, and references to other works are discouraged. If citations of secondary sources are absolutely necessary to the argument, they may be placed inline in the text in Chicago footnote style. Nevertheless, placing a book in the context of a wider secondary literature is generally the purpose of a review article, not a book review.
1.3.4 NPT Review Article format Review articles follow article format with the following differences:
Length: Review articles should not generally exceed 7,500 words, including footnotes and final reference list. Title: Under the title of a review article, please list the books under review with a full Chicago bibliographical reference to the reviewed book, listing the number of its pages, including front matter, in the format, “xi + 321 pages.” Abstract: Review articles do not carry an abstract.
1.3.5 NPT Commentary and editorial format Commentaries and editorials follow article format but do not carry an abstract.

STYLE GUIDE FOR AUTHORS
1.4 Figures 1.4.1 Images Digital files of images should be of the maximum size and resolution possible, with a minimum resolution of 200 dpi, and are to be provided as separate files. Authors are responsible for acquiring their own image permissions.
1.4.2 Graphs, charts and tables Graphs, charts and tables are to be provided in a separate, editable document (either word processor or spreadsheet), not as static images. Authors are responsible for acquiring permission to use datasets and for the accuracy of the data they use.
1.4.3 Placement and captions The preferred location of all figures should be indicated in the main text, and a full caption and any source citation / permission provided beneath the location of each figure: TABLE 1 ABOUT HERE Table 1: Average Annual Growth Rates of GDP per capita (in percent) Source: Based on Angus Maddison, Contours of the World Economy, 1-2030 AD, Oxford University Press, Oxford, 2007.
FIG 1 ABOUT HERE Figure 1: Catalogue covers, “English Architecture Exhibition” (1944) and “British Town Planning Exhibition” (1947) in Turkey. Sources: İngiliz Mimarlık Sergisi (Ankara: Alaeddin Kıral Basımevi, 1944); and Britanya Şehircilik Sergisi (Ankara: Milli Eğitim Basımevi, 1947).

NEW PERSPECTIVES ON TURKEY
2 Style and Usage 2.1 Language and spelling NPT publishes articles and reviews in English only. The preferred spelling is US English, except in citations of works published in UK English. All non-English words found in an unabridged US English dictionary should be treated as English words. In line with Chicago manual advice, NPT follows the Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary as a source for standard US spellings, including hyphenated and capitalized forms. When spelling Turkish words and proper nouns, NPT always uses the additional Turkish Latin characters: Â â Ç ç Ğ ğ ı İ î Ö ö Ü ü Ş ş, e.g.: Çetin, Fırat, Gül, İstanbul, Eminönü, Şirin, Tekirdağ
2.2 Transliteration All non-Roman alphabets must be transliterated, and authors are responsible for the consistency of their transliterations. Transliterated words and phrases should be in italics on the first instance (see 2.3 Italicizing Turkish words).
2.3 Italicizing Turkish words In general, Turkish language words in the main text are to be italicized on first mention to mark them as foreign terms and an English translation provided in brackets, without quotation marks or italics. Subsequent uses of the term in the text do not have to be italicized. By the same logic, where a Turkish language word is usually calqued into English by convention, it is not necessary to italicize it. Thus: The last instance is the architecture of Zöhre Ana’s dergâh (dervish lodge), which represents a mixture of the architectural discourses of the tomb or (traditional) dergâh and the state-sponsored ethnographic museum. The author engages Tanzimat reform policies and the resulting cultural changes.

STYLE GUIDE FOR AUTHORS
2.4 Capitalization of terms NPT follows standard US capitalization practices as per the Merriam Webster’s Collegiate Dictionary (www.merriam-webster.com). The following is a list of capitalizations commonly encountered in Turkish studies.
(when referring to the “civilizations” rather than the directions) the East, the West, Western / Eastern values, intellectuals, etc. a Westerner, an Easterner, Westernization, etc.
early Republican period, Republican intellectuals, policies, etc.
late Ottoman period, Ottoman intellectuals, policies, etc.
the Ottoman Empire, subsequently, the Empire
the Republic of Turkey / the Turkish Republic, subsequently, the Republic
the Tanzimat
the First Constitutional Era
the Second Constitutional Era
World War I / II
the (Turkish) War of Independence
2.5 Capitalization of titles Titles of published works are always to be capitalized in headline style (i.e., all the nouns and verbs, but not the articles or prepositions unless they begin a sentence or subtitle). NPT applies this rule to Turkish titles even where the original title is in sentence style, as in French or German titles. Thus: Tekeli, İlhan. 2000. Modernite Aşılırken Kent Planlaması. Ankara: İmge.
2.6 Institutions / organizations (translation / abbreviation) The names and titles of Turkish institutions, organizations, laws, etc. should be given in standard English translation with the full Turkish term provided in the main text in brackets immediately after the first mention. Names or titles that are frequently mentioned should be abbreviated in their most commonly used form, whether Turkish or English initials, and the same initials used consistently throughout the paper. Names or titles used once do not require abbreviation. Directorate of Religious Affairs (Diyanet İşleri Başkanlığı) … Kurdistan Worker’s Party (Partiya Karkerên Kurdistan, PKK) … A PKK spokesman Justice and Development Party (Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi, JDP) … JDP policy

2.7 Courtesy translation of titles NPT is a specialist publication, read by scholars who have, or should be developing, knowledge of Turkish language. Therefore, it is not necessary to give courtesy translations of the titles of works originally published in Turkish (or other languages) in footnotes and reference list. As the majority of sources for NPT articles are in Turkish and languages other than English, such a practice would quickly become ungainly. Thus: Adıvar, Halide Edip. 1937. Ateşten Gömlek. İstanbul: Muallim Ahmet Halit Kitap Evi. Aslanoğlu, İnci. 1980. Erken Cumhuriyet Dönemi Mimarlığı. Ankara: ODTÜ Mimarlık Fakültesi Basım İşliği. Nevertheless, if the reader must understand the title of a work to follow the argument, it may be translated in the main text or an explanatory footnote. In citations, courtesy translations are to be enclosed in square brackets. In either case, the main reference must remain in the original language. If a work is published in English translation, it must be capitalized headline style, otherwise, sentence style. Thus: In Ateşten Gömlek (Daughter of Smyrna / The Shirt of Flame, 1921), Halide Edip Adıvar constructs an allegory of national destiny through first person narrative. 1 See İnci Aslanoğlu’s published doctoral thesis, Erken Cumhuriyet Dönemi Mimarlığı [Architecture of the early Republican period] (Ankara: ODTÜ Mimarlık Fakültesi Basım İşliği, 1980) for more examples.
2.8 Original Turkish of translations Occasionally, it may be necessary to provide the original Turkish of a translated phrase for clarification. Where possible, this should be done in brackets and italics after the translated phrase and outside any quotation marks, but before punctuation. Ayverdi argued that this policy was disadvantageous for Turkey and amounted to feeding “weeds to a carnivore and meat to an herbivore” (Et yiyenin önüne ot, ot yiyenin önüne et koymak).1

STYLE GUIDE FOR AUTHORS
2.9 Numbers NPT follows Chicago style with numbers (see chapter 9 of the Chicago Manual of Style).
2.9.1 Small numbers Numbers less than 100—i.e., zero through ninety-nine—are written out in words while percentages, document sections, dates and currency take Arabic numerals. The Istanbul sex ratio in 2000 becomes increasingly skewed in favor of women as they age. At the ages of sixty-five to sixty-nine, there are roughly nine men for every ten women in that age group. By age eighty, over one-third of widows but only 10 percent of widowers had moved in with married children. In chapter 3, Jacobson shows how the Sephardim’s perception of Ottomanism shifted during the war.
2.9.2 Larger numbers For numbers from 100–999,999, NPT uses Arabic numerals with American separators for thousands (,) and decimals (.). Thousands separators are not used for page numbers: In 2012, there were only 180 elder care facilities serving 12,000 individuals in all of Turkey. The ratio of the elderly to the active population was 5.3 percent in 1907. 1
Svein Olav Daatland et al. “Balancing Generations,” Ageing and Society 31 (2011):
1168–70. Numbers higher than 999,999 are written out with a combination of decimal numbers and words: The consulting firm has estimated the value at ₺3.2 billion in 2013.

NEW PERSPECTIVES ON TURKEY
2.9.3 Percentages In the main text, percentages are written as Arabic numerals plus the word “percent.” The abbreviated symbol % may only be used in tables, charts and figures: The ratio of the elderly to the active population was 5.3 percent in 1907. 1950-1980 1980-2010 Turkey
3.1%
2.4%
World
2.6%
2.0%
2.9.4 Roman numerals Roman numerals may be used to refer to rulers and wars, etc. All Roman numerals referring to document sections in citations must be converted to Arabic numerals. During World War I, German propagandists hoped that a call to jihad by Mehmet V Reşad would sway Muslim soldiers to the Axis powers. Faroqhi, Suraiya, and Kate Fleet. 2013. The Cambridge History of Turkey, Volume 2. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press.
2.9.5 Ranges Ranges of dates or page numbers take a single en dash (–): Sultan Abdülhamid II (r. 1876–1909) was the last powerful sultan of the Empire. 1
See Laslett, “Necessary Knowledge,” 55–61.
2.9.6 Currency The currency code for the Turkish lira is TRY, written in the format “TRY x”. NPT has tended to use the format “x Turkish lira” or “x lira” to refer to amounts in Turkish currency. Use of the new ISO symbol ₺ in the format “₺x” to denote the Second Turkish lira is also to be encouraged for the period after March 2012. The format “x TL” was officially deprecated in 2012, and may now be used to distinguish the first Turkish lira or TL (1923–2005) from the Second Turkish lira, described as the New Turkish lira or YTL from 2005–2008, and as Turkish lira or ₺ (2012–present). Symbol usage should be consistent and historically accurate throughout a paper and follow the rules for other currency symbols. The company declared that it had made a loss of 215.5 trillion TL in 2003.
10
STYLE GUIDE FOR AUTHORS In 2009, the TBMM approved a budget of 10 million YTL for these purchases. Indeed, the consulting firm has estimated the value at ₺3.2 billion in 2013. The decimal division of the Turkish lira is the kuruş. It is not necessary to notate kuruş separately, hence nine Turkish lira and ninety-nine kuruş may now simply be written as ₺9.99.
2.9.7 Dates (Gregorian, Hicri, Rumi) Dates in the main text are to be given in Gregorian (Miladı) form following US (Chicago) date style. Decades may be written in plural form. Turgut Özal was elected to the prime ministry in December 1983. On January 24, 1980, the Demirel government introduced an ambitious liberalization program. Fiscal and current account deficits accompanied this development trajectory in the 1960s and 1970s. Where a Hicri or Rumi date appears inside a citation or would be necessary to identify a source, the Gregorian equivalent should be given in square brackets immediately afterwards: An article published in the Ottoman Painter’s Society’s official 1911 Regulations (Nizamname) states that “the Society is under no circumstances to engage in political matters.”1 1
Osmanlı Ressamlar Cemiyeti Nizamname-i Esasisi (Dersaadet: Bekir Efendi
Matbaası, 1327 [1911]). Authors are responsible for the accuracy of their dating. For help converting between Gregorian, Hicri and Rumi dates, see 4.3 Date conversion resources.

NEW PERSPECTIVES ON TURKEY
2.12 General punctuation 2.12.1 Punctuation with quotation marks / footnote numbers Periods, commas, question marks, semicolons, etc., should always come before closing quotation marks and footnote numbers should come after everything: Abdülhamid was referred to disparagingly as “The Red Sultan,” “The Great Assassin,” and “Abdul the Damned” by his contemporaries in the West.6 The author has elsewhere referred to İstanbul as a “city of families.”1
2.12.2 Technical and/or “problematized” terms NPT uses double quotation marks to signify technical and/or “problematized” terms. That said, the incessant “problematizing” of “problematic” terms can be a “problem” as it is often unnecessary and can be rather distracting. Indeed, this anxiety was also reflected in the Sephardim’s “inclusive” form of Zionism, which differed from the more “exclusive” forms popular among the Ashkenazi.
2.12.3 Parenthesis In dashed parenthesis, NPT uses an em dash (—) without leaving space after or before the words: Modes of care may have to be adjusted to the various stages of the life course of the elderly—particularly women—as they shift from care-givers to receivers.

STYLE GUIDE FOR AUTHORS
3 Quotations and Citations 3.1 Formatting quotations To enclose quoted material of less than three lines or ~40 words, NPT uses double quotes (curly). Quotes within quotes are enclosed in single quotation marks. The footnote number comes after the closed quotation marks: Ayverdi provided an overall critique of the right-wing policy of investing mainly in the economy, while ignoring “the most important ‘capital’: human beings.”1 For quoted material of more than three lines or ~40 words, format it as a block quote inset by a tab space without any quotation marks. In a manuscript, it is not necessary to change the style, line spacing, or font, etc., of quotations. Quotes within block quotes are enclosed in double quotation marks. The footnote number comes after the period in the final sentence: Oğuz Atay has the protagonist deliver a little lecture burlesquing the curricular language of history and geography classes in Turkish schools: Our country is a piece of land, four-cornered in general, many-cornered in particular, surrounded by the seas from some sides, and by other countries from other sides. Where our country is not surrounded by water, it is bordered by dotted lines [...] Along these “borders,” the longer lines show the buildings, and the dots show the watch towers. These, when seen from above, look like maps.1 For changes to quoted material, NPT uses square brackets around inserted words and around an ellipsis to indicate cuts. Capitalization may be changed without any indication in square brackets. The editors of a recent volume on the subject state that “transfers […] to dependent populations [children and the elderly] dominate all other transfers in any economy.”1

3.2 Footnote citation style NPT follows Chicago Manual Notes and Bibliography style. For a quick all-purpose reference, refer to the Chicago-Style Citation Quick Guide to the Notes and Bibliography style, available at the official website of the Chicago Manual of Style (www.chicagomanualofstyle.org). For more detailed advice, refer to chapter 14 of the manual. For a very brief overview, see below: 1. Use a full footnote style citation on the first mention of a work. 1
İlhan Tekeli, Modernite Aşılırken Kent Planlaması (Ankara: İmge, 2000), 34.
2. When references to the same work follow without interruption use the abbreviation Ibid. in Roman, not italic. 2
Ibid., 35.
3. For subsequent mentions, use a shortened form (~2-4 words) of the citation, with the author surname, short title, and any page/part reference. 10
Tekeli, Modernite Aşılırken, 32.
3.3 Reference list contents Reference lists are a quick guide to the published sources referred to in your article. The following types of source must always be listed: o o o o o
books e-books journal articles online journal articles collected periodical editions/collections (where significant or primary sources) o published conference proceedings, reports, interviews, correspondence, theses, dissertations, etc. The following types of unpublished sources should NOT be included in a final reference list: o o o o o o
individual newspaper / magazine / news website articles theses and dissertations papers and lectures websites (and informally published online documents) personal correspondence archival sources
