Sine/Cine: The Journal of Cinema Research is launched.

Fall 2009 will mark the publication of the first volume of Sine/Cine, a new 
journal that will be issued bi-annually (in the Spring and Fall) and edited by 
Prof. Dr. Nilgün Abisel.  Sine/Cine is a refereed cinema journal prepared by 
academics and researchers working in the field of film research and is being 
published by Çitlembik Publications.

Sine/Cine, whose aims include the provision of a shared cinema platform that 
will bring together a variety of disciplines, along with the creation of a 
foundation for research/debate/critique/inquiry in the fields of social science, 
art and the humanities, plans to publish articles written on a variety of 
subjects ranging from local cinema to Hollywood films, from art to popular 
films, from classic to contemporary cinema, from the economic policies of 
cinema to film history, from psychoanalysis to feminism, from conceptual 
approaches to reception research and from various genres of films to directors.

While Sine/Cine does not limit the kinds of subjects that are acceptable, it 
does demand that the articles are of academic quality. The articles must be 
original; they must not have been previously accepted for publication or 
published elsewhere


Article Submission and Writing Guidelines:

Our mission is to publish submissions (articles, research, translations, book 
reviews, film analyses) that we believe will be beneficial to academicians and 
researchers working in the field of cinema and that will provide the journal with 
continuity and academic esteem.   The last dates for submissions are: 

Fall 2009 (No: 1) May 30, 2009 
Spring 2010 (No: 2) January 30, 2010.

Sine/Cine publishes articles written in Turkish and English. In addition to 
articles, each volume will also include a translated article, as determined or 
selected by the editor, and book reviews and film critiques that are shorter in 
length (2000-3000 words).  

The length of the articles should not exceed 8000 words (including footnotes 
and references). Articles written in Turkey should include both Turkish and 
English abstracts of 100-150 words. Articles written in English only need an 
English language abstract. The text should be written on A4 size paper, should 
be double-spaced and only written on one side of the paper.  Besides the 
article, the author should also provide an additional sheet of paper with the 
title of the article, name of the author, a brief biography, mailing address and 
e-mail address.  This information will not be sent to the jury members.  

All articles must be written in Times News Roman font of 12 points. Footnotes 
should be 10 points and all film titles should be italicized.  The first time it is 
mentioned, the original title of the film should be provided, with this title 
followed by the name of the film in the language of the article.  The original 
name of the film should then be used throughout the article. If not provided in 
the text, the name of the film’s director and the date of its production should 
be written in parantheses.  Example film: Monster/Canavar (Patty Jenkins, 
2003), Aşk Mabudesi (Nejat Saydam, 1968). If necessary, the following 
information should also be provided: Casablanca/Kazablanka (Michael Curtiz, 
Warner Bros, USA, 1942).  

All references should be written in parantheses and should include the name of 
the author, publication date, and page number: (Butler, 1999: 38).  The 
footnotes should be numbered sequentially and should be provided at the 
conclusion of the article, before the bibliography.  Any quotations that exceed 
40 words should not be placed within quotation marks, but should be written 
in an indented paragraph form. 

The bibliography should accord with APA guidelines.
