Duzce University Journal of Social Sciences was launched in 2011 and continues its publication with two issues per year, in July and December. Formerly published under the title Duzce Journal of the Institute of Social Sciences, the journal underwent a name change following the merger of institutes within our university and now continues its publication as Duzce University Journal of Social Sciences, representing the Institute of Graduate Education, with the word “Institute” removed from its title. The journal is indexed in databases such as EBSCO, ASOS, Sobiad, and Index Copernicus, and it is currently under evaluation for inclusion in TR Dizin. Accepting publications in both English and Turkish in the field of social sciences, Duzce University Journal of Social Sciences is a peer-reviewed international journal. The journal may publish supplementary or special issues in certain periods. Issues are published electronically, and the responsibility for the content of the articles lies with the authors. Submissions must not have been previously published or submitted elsewhere for publication.
