Harran Education Journal (e-ISSN: 2564-761X) is the periodical, peer-reviewed, open-access, official scientific publication organ of Harran University. Having started its publication life in 2016, our journal has been published as free and open access to the public; as of the first issue of 2026, all published articles have included the CC-BY-4.0 license. It is published in Turkish or English as a continuous publication.
It is essential that the studies to be published in our journal are original, fill a gap in the relevant field, are prepared using appropriate research methods and models, and have not been published in any other medium before. In addition to these primary research articles, critical reviews that evaluate published studies with new and notable perspectives are also included.
Additionally, a wide range of academic content, including conceptual and theoretical discussions, unpublished papers, biographies, literature reviews, scientific translations, and book reviews, is accepted.
All studies submitted to the journal must be original and must not have been published elsewhere before. The exception to this rule is oral presentations or posters presented as abstracts at scientific congresses. It must be stated that your article was previously presented as an oral presentation or poster at a scientific congress. This information must be added to the cover page or the relevant field in the online article submission system, and details such as the name, date, and location of the congress where the abstract was published must be stated. If the article is derived from a graduate thesis, the date and thesis number (National Thesis Center) must be specified. The authors bear all ethical, scientific, and legal responsibility for the published studies.
