Humanity and Society (İnsan & Toplum) is an international peer-reviewed journal published by the İlmi Etüdler Derneği since 2011 and indexed in prominent citation databases in its field. The journal publishes articles in both Turkish and English.
Since 2018, Humanity and Society has been published quarterly (in March, June, September, and December). Our journal’s rigorous and in-depth editorial policy, along with comprehensive peer-review processes, ensures that each published article makes a rare and significant contribution to its respective field. Each issue to date has included numerous research articles, review essays, and book reviews. These works, spanning various disciplines within the social sciences, have attracted considerable interest, being downloaded hundreds of times and receiving substantial citations.
While respecting disciplinary traditions, Humanity and Society encourages researchers to transcend, deconstruct, and reconstruct disciplinary boundaries. Establishing a research tradition that respects meaning and remains faithful to reality is one of the journal’s core missions. Through this approach, the journal aims to address ontological gaps resulting from the one-dimensional reality perceptions of modern sciences, overcome epistemological fractures, establish the relationship between knowledge and values, and restore balance and order.
Humanity and Society accepts only studies grounded in political science, international relations, and sociology, based on applied quantitative or qualitative field research. It is essential that submitted manuscripts comply with recognized academic standards, demonstrate methodological rigor and coherence, and provide theoretical or methodological contributions to their fields. Articles are expected to be methodologically sound, appropriate, and systematic; to rely on, critique, or develop theories. Priority is given to manuscripts that present new data, documents, and findings from the field, apply innovative methodologies, or pursue new theoretical frameworks. Therefore, authors are required to prepare their submissions in accordance with the journal’s specified format and content guidelines.
