The Systematic Classification of Poetry Journals Project (MESTAP) holds a critical place in classical Turkish literature studies, and its contributions to these studies are highly significant. Bringing to light the works of poets who do not have their own divans and thus remain anonymous, as well as identifying poems by poets with existing divans that are not included in published collections, reinforces the importance of poetry journals in the literature. However, perhaps the most crucial aspect is its provision of information about the literary atmosphere of the periods in which classical poetry was composed and read.
In the context of the Systematic Classification of Poetry Journals Project (MESTAP), the necessity of subjecting poetry journal analyses to a standardized methodology is a subject of discussion in academic circles, and it is observed that current studies exhibit a significant number of common characteristics. While it may not be feasible to apply a homogeneous analysis template to these theses, it is imperative to establish the fundamental analysis headings and content that should be mandatory for each MESTAP thesis. In this context, our study will focus on proposing a new template for the analysis sections of MESTAP theses.
