PUBLICATION POLICY
PURPOSE AND SCOPE OF THE JOURNAL
International Journal of Language and Awareness (IJLA) (E-ISSN: 2979-983X) has been published under the name HOMEROS since 2018. In 2022, the journal name was changed to “International Journal of Language and Awareness”. The aim of the journal is to publish original studies that develop awareness in the field of language and literature. For this purpose, it includes original articles in the field of language and literature.
IJLA has switched to continuous publication flow since the 4th volume. There will be two issues in each volume and articles will be assigned to the relevant issue as they are accepted. Once an article is accepted, it will be published online, without waiting for the entire journal issue to be completed. In this way, articles will be kept up to date and readers will have faster access to them. This will have a positive impact on the impact factor of the journal and will result in more citations.
In Continuous Publication, the article available online is the final fully formatted version, with full references, also available in PDF format.
Articles published in the journal can be freely accessed, read, downloaded, copied, distributed, printed, scanned, linked to full texts, indexed, imported as data into software and used for any legal purpose, without financial, legal and technical barriers, via the internet.

1. All manuscripts proposed to the IJLA should not be previously published or submitted for publication elsewhere. The studies or their summaries which were presented in a conference or published can be accepted if it is stated in the manuscript before. Besides that if the study is supported by an institution or produced from a thesis, this must be footnoted on the title. If the studies were wanted to be revoked by any reason, it is needed to apply to the admin with a letter. Publication committee considers that the authors will keep the rules as editorial principles and author guidelines.
