The Journal of the Institute of Social Sciences of Siirt University aims to provide a scientific platform in the field of social sciences and to contribute to the dissemination of original, in-depth, and high-quality research to the public. One of the journal’s primary missions is to promote academic studies conducted in various disciplines of the social sciences and to support the production of knowledge in this field.

The journal welcomes a broad methodological diversity, prioritizing original empirical research articles, but also accepts reviews and case studies.

Articles published in the journal cover a wide range of social science disciplines, including but not limited to psychology, sociology, economics, and political science, as well as interdisciplinary studies. In this context, the journal only accepts original studies that contribute with innovative and scholarly content. Submissions must not have been previously published or be under review by another journal.

Only a limited number of manuscripts adapted from postgraduate theses will be considered for publication. In such instances, the work must clearly reflect original thinking, a distinctive methodological approach, and a contribution that fits within the scope and editorial vision of the journal. The Editorial Board reserves the right to reject submissions that do not meet these criteria.

The Journal of the Institute of Social Sciences of Siirt University evaluates all submissions based on both their academic merit and their compliance with globally accepted standards of scholarly publishing. Each manuscript is subject to a double-blind peer-review process carried out by independent experts in the relevant field. Reviewers assess the work’s methodological rigor, coherence, and scholarly value. Authors may be requested to revise their submissions based on these evaluations. The final publication decision rests with the Editor-in-Chief, ensuring the consistency and quality of editorial practices.

The journal adheres firmly to principles of academic honesty and research ethics. Any instance of plagiarism, data manipulation, or other forms of misconduct is taken seriously and may lead to rejection or retraction. Every submission is closely examined to safeguard the credibility of the publication process.

In all editorial processes, the journal complies with the ethical standards and principles recommended by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE), the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE), and the World Association of Medical Editors (WAME). The Editorial Board is committed to aligning all operations with these internationally recognized ethical frameworks.
