After receiving feedback on the first chapter of my thesis, I have decided to share this map publicly:

Fantastic online resource: the Encyclopedia of Istanbul. Enjoy.
The Istanbul Encyclopedia is a comprehensive work to which historian & novelist Reşad Ekrem Koçu (1905-1975) devoted most of his life. This great resource for research into the history Istanbul is now available online! #ottomanstudies #turkishstudies

I am editor in a journal. The last time a reviewer accepted my invitation to review was June 29. Currently, I have a ms with 22 invitations (I´ve had more), none accepted. Is it just me? Am I the only one reviewing ms for everyone else? (And yes, I came here to complain)
