Notes to Contributors-General Principles of Publication
Ankara Law Review is a refereed academic legal journal. Papers submitted should be original contributions and should not be under consideration for any other publication at the same time.

There is no standard length for articles, but 3.000-12.000 words (including footnotes) is a useful target.
The article should begin with an indented summary of around 100 words, in Turkish and English, which should describe the main arguments and conclusions of the article, and 5 key words, in both Turkish and English, indicating to the main themes of the paper.
