The Journal of Mediterranean Basin and African Civilisations (AKAF) is the scientific publication of the Mediterranean Basin and African Civilisations Research and Application Centre at Ankara Hacı Bayram Veli University. Launched in 2019 as an international e-journal, it is published twice a year—Spring (June) and Autumn (December)—as an international, peer-reviewed academic journal.
The journal is open access, and all submitted manuscripts are evaluated through a double-blind peer review process.
AKAF publishes original scholarly works at both national and international levels focusing on the languages, histories, literatures, arts, and cultures of Mediterranean and African countries with which Turkey has historical and cultural ties. While the journal considers research- and analysis-based studies from a range of disciplines in the social sciences and humanities relating to Mediterranean and African civilisations, it particularly welcomes contributions in the fields of international relations, political science, language, literature, translation studies, history, folklore, sociology, psychology, philosophy, anthropology, archaeology, art history, and related interdisciplinary areas. Submissions may be in Turkish or English, and book reviews are also accepted.
