The Journal of Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association (JOTSA), a refereed journal published semi-annually by the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association. JOTSA has replaced the former Turkish Studies Association Bulletin and Turkish Studies Association Journal (TSAJ), which was in print from 1977 until 2004, mainly focused on broad topics related to Turkish Studies. The principle reason for its r
eplacement is to enlarge the interest area of the journal from Europe to the Middle-East and from the Balkans to Eurasia, through the various disciplines of social sciences and humanities. In other words,
JOTSA will address the larger Ottoman and post-Ottoman worlds in addition to Turkish Studies broadly conceptualized. Subscriptions to the Journal of the Ottoman and Turkish Studies Association are included in membership dues: Regular and Associate members, $30.00; Student Members, $15.00; Joint members, $40.00; and institutional members, $100.00, payable to the Treasurer. Turkish members living in Turkey may also pay their annual dues, $15.00 or the equivalent in Turkish liras, to the Director, American Research Institute in Turkey, Üvez Sok. 5, Arnavutkoy, 34345 İstanbul. Please add $3.00 for surface mail outside the U.S. (Canada and Mexico, $2.00), and $6.00 for airmail postage ($6.50 to Saudi Arabia and points east). Please note that OTSA can accept checks in U.S. dollars only. Manuscripts intended for publication, notes, announcements, news from members, and books for review should be sent to the Editor at [email protected]
