About the Journal

The journal was established to contribute to the scientific community by publishing original, unpublished, and not submitted elsewhere works in various fields of social sciences from Turkey and around the world.

Submitted articles are first evaluated by the relevant section editor and then assigned to at least 2 or 3 independent external reviewers who are experts in the field. Each article undergoes a double-blind peer review process, ensuring that the identities of both authors and reviewers remain confidential. Revised manuscripts, along with the reviewers’ feedback, must be returned to the editor promptly.

Our journal accepts research articles online through the Open Journal System (OJS) and provides unrestricted access to all published articles for stakeholders. Open Journal Systems offer broader visibility to national and international readers compared to subscription-based distribution models, enhancing the impact of the articles. Additionally, OJS systems facilitate indexing, re-accessibility, open access, and replication, providing significant advantages to researchers.

Since 2016, all articles published in the journal have been assigned a DOI (Digital Object Identifier). Furthermore, as of January 2020, it is mandatory for all authors to include their ORCID numbers on the article’s title page. Authors without an ORCID number can obtain one by registering at www.orcid.org. Articles without ORCID numbers or with incorrect information will not be considered for evaluation. During the article submission process, it is mandatory to complete the Title Page accurately.
