The aim of Asya Studies is to make a modest contribution to the field of social sciences in order to develop all regions that will be the subject of scientific studies, especially the Asian geography, and to make qualified productions that can shed light on societies in scientific terms. Without ignoring the problem of institutionalization and continuity in the journals in the field of social sciences in Turkey, the most important goal of our journal, which has embarked on this path without ignoring the problem of institutionalization and continuity in the journals in the field of social sciences in Turkey, without forgetting the responsibility of publishing a qualified publication as a young academic community and the main thing is social progress, is to maintain a qualified publication line throughout its publication life and to take a place in a reliable and respected point in the field of social sciences. On this occasion, many studies in the fields of social sciences, philology and educational sciences related to Asian and European geography are evaluated in our journal.

Asya Studies is a journal founded in 2017 and publishes articles and book reviews in the field of social sciences. The journal publishes original research articles, reviews, research summaries and book reviews. In this context, our journal does not publish “Review and Case Report” articles.
Our journal is a peer-reviewed, international and free of charge journal published four times a year (March, June, September, December) electronically. Articles submitted to our journal are reviewed by spelling and language editors after editorial control and then sent to field referees. No fee is charged for the articles submitted to our journal, and no fee is charged for access to the articles published in our journal. Articles submitted to our journal are subjected to plagiarism scanning. In addition, our journal applies a waiver policy for authors from developing countries.

Our journal accepts articles in seven different languages: Turkish, English, German, Russian, French, Arabic and Persian. If deemed necessary and appropriate by the editorial board, articles in different languages can also be evaluated within the scope of our journal.

JOURNAL PUBLICATION POLICY
1. The publishing and editorial team of Asya Studies is committed to adhering to ethical standards at all stages of the publication process. The Editorial Board oversees the compliance of the articles in the journal with ethical principles. Manuscripts submitted to the journal must not have been previously published or submitted for publication in another journal. Other works of the authors of the duplication attempts detected by the Editorial Board will not be included in the journal. The publication of unpublished symposium proceedings is possible provided that the symposium participation is specified in the study.
2. Ethics Committee Certificate is requested for studies with humans and animals.
3. The period between the date of receipt of the manuscript and the date of publication is not less than 45 days.
4. Studies accepted for publication cannot be withdrawn.
5. Articles submitted to the journal are checked by Turnitin, iThenticate or plagiarism.net similarity program at the beginning of the editorial process. Manuscripts with a similarity rate of more than 20% cannot be published. This rate should not be exceeded during the initial uploading of the article to the journal system and the referee + editor's acceptance for publication.
6. In articles with multiple authors, the contribution of each author to the article should be indicated.
7. In the articles sent for evaluation, information such as the author's name under the title, his/her title in the footnote, the institution where he/she works and the e-mail address where he/she can be reached should not be included. This information should be indicated on the Title Page Form. Author information of the articles accepted after the referee process is added during the publication process. For this reason, no information identifying the author(s) should be included in the full text file uploaded to the system. This is important in terms of allowing the referees who will review the article to move more easily and to apply ethical principles.
8. The articles included in the publication process are published in order by the editorial team according to their subject areas. The publication order is not changed for any reason.
9. Only one study by one author (even if he/she is a co-author of another study) can be published in one issue.


Under the heading of ethical rules, the following points must be complied with.
1. Separate ethics committee approval must be obtained for research in all disciplines, including social sciences, and for clinical and experimental human and animal studies that require ethics committee approval, and this approval must be stated and documented in the article.
2. Under this heading, information on ethical rules should be given under separate headings for referees, authors and editors.
3. Articles should include a statement that Research and Publication Ethics are complied with.
4. By referring to national and international standards, ethical principles should be stated under a separate heading in the journal and/or on the web page. For example, the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE) and the International Standards for Editors and Authors of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) should be taken into consideration in scientific manuscripts submitted to journals.
5. In studies requiring ethics committee approval, information about the approval (name of the committee, date and document number) should be included in the method section and also on the first/last page of the article. In case reports, information on the signature of the informed consent form should be included in the article.
6. Copyright regulations must be respected for the intellectual and artistic works used.

The following ethical duties and responsibilities have been written in the light of the guidelines and policies prepared by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
The publication of an article in a peer-reviewed journal is a fundamental building block in the development of a coherent and respected knowledge network. It is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and embody the scientific method. It is therefore important to agree on expected standards of ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing: author, journal editor, referee and publisher.


1. Publication and authorship
Reference list, financial support;
No plagiarism and fraudulent data;
Not publishing the same research in more than one journal.

2. Author responsibilities
Studies with more than four authors are not accepted.
Only one work by an author can be published in an issue, regardless of whether it is individual or joint.
Authors are obliged to participate in the peer review process.
All authors must have contributed to the research.
A statement that all data in the manuscript are true and authentic must be provided.
All authors must ensure that errors are retracted or corrected.

3. Reviewers' evaluation/responsibility
The referee(s) must have at least a PhD degree (Dr. title).
Referee(s) working at the same institution as the author(s) cannot be sent an evaluation invitation. If such a situation is detected, the refereeing process will be canceled and new referee(s) will be added if the evaluation has been made.
Decisions must be objective.
Reviewers should not have any conflicts of interest related to the research, authors and/or research funders.
Reviewers should point to relevant published work that has not yet been cited.
Reviewed studies should be kept confidential.

4. Editorial responsibilities
Editors have full responsibility and authority to reject/accept a study.
Editors should not have any conflict of interest in relation to the studies they reject/accept. A manuscript should be accepted only when they are reasonably certain.
When errors are found, they should encourage the publication of a correction or withdrawal of the publication.
The anonymity of reviewers should be protected.
Plagiarism and fraudulent data should be avoided.

5. Publication ethics issues
Monitoring/protecting publishing ethics by the editorial board;
Setting guidelines for the retraction of manuscripts;
Maintaining the integrity of the academic record;
Preventing business needs from compromising intellectual and ethical standards;
Always be willing to publish corrections, clarifications, retractions and apologies when necessary.


INFORMATION ON ETHICS COMMITTEE APPROVAL:
QUESTIONS: Is ethics committee approval required for all articles?
Answer: No. In the criteria, it is stated as articles that “require Ethics Committee Permission”.

Research requiring Ethics Committee permission is as follows.
- All kinds of research conducted with qualitative or quantitative approaches that require data collection from participants using survey, interview, focus group study, observation, experiment, interview techniques
- Use of humans and animals (including materials/data) for experimental or other scientific purposes,
- Clinical trials in humans,
- Research on animals,
- Retrospective studies in accordance with the law on the protection of personal data,
Also;
- Stating that the “informed consent form” has been obtained in case presentations,
- Obtaining and indicating permission from the owners for the use of scales, questionnaires, photographs belonging to others,
- Indication of compliance with copyright regulations for the intellectual and artistic works used

QUESTION: Should retrospective Ethics Committee Permission be obtained for publications produced from studies and theses completed in previous years?
Before 2020, retrospective ethics committee permission is not required for articles that used research data, produced from master's / doctoral studies (must be specified in the article), applied for publication to the journal in the previous year, accepted but not yet published. (In addition, for studies with research data from before 2020 and submitted to the journal in 2020, an ethics report is not required from these articles, provided that the author states in the method section that the study data belongs to before 2020).

QUESTION: Are these rules of the TR Index restricting publications outside universities?
No, it is not. Non-university researchers can also apply to the Ethics Committees in their regions.
Also;
- For articles to be published in journals, it should be stated in the article whether ethics committee permission and/or legal/private permission is required. If it is necessary to obtain these permissions, it should be clearly presented from which institution, on which date and with which decision or number number the permission was obtained.
- If the study requires the use of human and animal subjects, it should be declared that the study was carried out in accordance with international declarations, guidelines, etc.

Sincerely.
