İmgelem Journal adheres to national and international standards of research and publication ethics. Our journal has adopted the International Ethical Publishing Principles published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

Actions Contrary to Scientific Research and Publication Ethics

• Forgery: Using non-existent or falsified data in scientific research,
• Distortion: Falsifying research records or data, falsifying devices or materials that were not used in the research, falsifying or shaping the results of the research in line with the interests of the persons and organizations receiving support,
• Republishing: Presenting duplicate publications as separate publications for academic appointments and promotions,
• Slicing: Inappropriately and inappropriately dividing the results of a research into parts in a way that disrupts the integrity of the research and publishing them in more than one issue and presenting these publications as separate publications in academic appointments and promotions,
• Unfair authorship: Including or excluding people who have not made active contributions, changing the order of authors in an unjustified and inappropriate manner, removing the names of active contributors from the work in subsequent editions, using one's influence to have one's name included among the authors even though one has not made active contributions,

Other types of ethical violations include:
a) Failing to acknowledge the individuals, institutions, or organisations that provided support for research conducted with such support, or failing to acknowledge their contributions in publications resulting from such research,
b) Using theses or studies that have not yet been submitted or defended and accepted as a source without the permission of the owner,
c) Sharing information contained in a work assigned for review with others prior to publication without the express permission of the author,
ç) Using resources, premises, facilities, and equipment provided or allocated for scientific research for purposes other than those intended,
d) Making unfounded, inappropriate, and deliberate allegations of ethical violations,
e) Publishing data obtained without the explicit consent of participants in surveys and attitude studies conducted as part of scientific work, or without the additional permission of the institution if the research is to be conducted at an institution,
f) Failure to comply with the obligation to inform and warn those concerned about possible harmful practices related to scientific research conducted by researchers and officials,
g) In scientific studies, failing to use data and information obtained from other persons and institutions to the extent and in the manner authorised, failing to respect the confidentiality of this information and failing to ensure its protection,
h) Making false or misleading statements regarding scientific research and publications in academic appointments and promotions,

Relations with Journal Owner and Publisher
The relationship between the editor and the publisher is based on the principle of editorial independence. As per the written contract between the editor and the publisher, all decisions of the editor are independent from the publisher and the journal owner.

Ethics Committee Approval
Our journal requires that all studies in scientific fields requiring ethics committee approval have obtained the relevant ethics committee decision. In this context, authors must state the date and number of the Ethics Committee approval in the ‘Sample and Method/Materials and Methods’ section.
In line with the regulations implemented by Ulakbim TR Index since 2020, studies without ethics committee approval are not considered for publication in our journal.
Studies Requiring Ethics Committee Approval
Studies requiring ethics committee approval in our journal include the following:
• All research conducted using qualitative or quantitative approaches involving data collection from participants through methods such as surveys, interviews, focus group studies, observation, and interview techniques,
• Retrospective studies within the framework of the Personal Data Protection Law.
For such studies to be considered for evaluation, the relevant ethics committee approvals must have been obtained and these approvals must be clearly stated in the article text.

Plagiarism Check
Our journal scans all submitted manuscripts for plagiarism with  iThenticate software. The similarity rate is expected to be below 20%. However, the main criterion is compliance with citation and citation rules; in cases of non-compliance, plagiarism may occur even at low rates. In this respect, citation and citation rules should be known and carefully applied by the author. If plagiarism is detected in an article submitted to or published in our journal, our journal will act in accordance with the COPE principles (Plagiarism in a submitted manuscript - Plagiarism in a published article).

Protection of Personal Information
All personal data sent to our journal are protected in accordance with legal regulations and ethical rules.

Protection of Intellectual Property Rights
Our journal is obliged to protect the intellectual property rights of all published articles and to defend the rights of the journal and the author(s) in possible violations.

In the case of major errors/violations that invalidate findings and conclusions, editors should consider retracting the article. COPE Principles (1-2-3-4-5-6) are taken into account in relation to correction, withdrawal or expression of concern.

Baş Editör

Doç. Dr. Musa Yavuz ALPTEKİN;
1976 yılında doğdu. Ailesi aslen Trabzon/Çaykara ilçesi, Karaçam (Yukarı Ögene) Köyündendir. İlköğretim ve lise düzeyi eğitimini Bayburt’ta, Üniversite eğitimini ise İstanbul’da ve İstanbul Üniversitesi’nde aldı. Aynı üniversitenin Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsünde Sosyal Yapı-Sosyal Değişme Anabilim Dalı’nda Yüksek Lisans (2000) ve Sosyoloji Anabilim Dalında Doktora (2006) çalışmasını tamamladı.
2006 yılında Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi, İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi’nde Sosyoloji dersleri vermeye başladı. Dört yıl sonra aynı Üniversitenin Edebiyat Fakültesi, Sosyoloji Bölümüne geçiş yaptı. Tam bu aşamada Yüksek Öğretim Kurumu’nun Doktora Sonrası Yurtdışı Araştırma Bursuyla, Colorado Üniversitesi, Etnik Çalışmalar Bölümü’nde misafir araştırmacı olarak, Amerika’nın etnik bileşimi, göçmenlik ve entegrasyon konularında araştırma yapmak üzere ABD’ye gitti ve Denver’daki Ahıska Türklerini de içeren yedi aylık bir teorik ve saha çalışması yürüttü. 2010 yılı sonunda Türkiye'ye dönüşünde Sosyoloji bölüm başkanlığına atandı ve bu tarihten sonraki dört buçuk yıl boyunca (Şubat 2016) Bölümün akademik kadrosunun oluşturulması, Lisans ve Yüksek Lisans öğrenci alımı dosyalarının YÖK onayından geçirilmesi gibi temel kuruluş süreçlerini yürüttü.
2013 yılı Temmuz-Eylül döneminde Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi’nin temin ettiği altı (6) aylık yurt dışı araştırma bursuyla ve eğitimi aksatmamak gerekçesiyle yaz tatilinde üç aylığına, misafir araştırmacı olarak Malezya’nın başkenti Kuala Lumpur’da bulunan Uluslararası İslam Üniversitesi, Sosyoloji Bölümü’nde teorik ve etnografik bir çalışma yürüttü. Bu süre zarfında Ulus-Devlet ve Etnik farklılıklar arasındaki gerilimi ve muhtemel çözüm yollarını Malezya üzerinde teorik, etnografik ve pratik olarak inceleme imkânı buldu. Söz konusu çalışmasını Türkiye’de Malezya hakkında yazılmış ilk Türkçe kitap olarak KTÜ Yayınevinde bastırdı.
2017 yılında 4 Mart- 31 Temmuz tarihleri arasında TÜBİTAK Doktora Sonrası Yurtdışı Araştırma Bursuyla beş ay İngiltere'de, Birmingham Üniversitesinde konusunun dünyadaki sayılı uzmanlarından, Uluslararası İlişkiler bölümü öğretim üyesi ve Siyaset Bilimci Prof. Dr. Stefan Wolff'un davetiyle bu üniversiteye gitti ve Prof. Wolff’un gözetiminde "Türkiye'de ve Ortadoğu'da Kürtler" konusu üzerine teorik bir çalışma yaptı.
2021 yılı Ekim ayında yine TÜBİTAK’ın yurtdışı doktora sonrası araştırma bursuyla 8 aylığına (kalan süreyi kendisi tazmin ederek toplamda bir yıl kalmıştır) Duisburg-Essen Üniversitesi’ne bağlı bir kurum olan Türkiye Araştırmaları Merkezi müdürü Prof. Dr. Hacı Halil Uslucan’ın davetiyle Almanya’ya gitti. Prof. Uslucan’ın danışmanlığında verilerini Duisburg ve Essen’deki 52 Türk derneği yöneticisi, üyesi ve gönüllüsü 300 kişiden topladığı “Almanya’da Türk Diasporasının Oluşumu” başlıklı nicel ve nitel bir diaspora çalışması yürüttü.
6 Ağustos 2023 tarihinde maaşsız bir araştırma görevlendirmesiyle sosyal yapı, kültür, folklor ve etnografi çalışmaları yapmak üzere Özbekistan’ın başkenti Taşkent’e gitti. Buradaki çalışmaları devam etmektedir.
Sosyolojinin Kent Sosyolojisi, İktisat Sosyolojisi, Siyaset Sosyolojisi ve Etnik Sosyoloji alt bilim dallarına odaklanan yazarın, doktora tezinden müteşekkil Şehir ve Toplum isimli kitabının yanı sıra içerisinde Malezya monografisi ve Trabzon'da Müteahhitlik mesleğini incelediği meslek monografisi ve Trabzon’da Vatanseverlik kavramını incelediği jeo-politik monografi çalışmalarının bulunduğu beş telif eseri ve 17 tane de editörlüğünü yaptığı edisyon kitap çalışması mevcuttur. Alptekin aynı zamanda HABİTUS Toplumbilim Dergisi’nin yanı sıra TR Dizinli İMGELEM Dergisi’nin de editörlüğünü, bu dergileri yayımlayan çatı kurum olan BİLGİTOY Derneği’nin de kurucu başkanlığını yürütmektedir. Çeşitli ulusal ve uluslar arası dergilerde basılmış daha çok Küresel şehirleşme trendleri, Kentsel Dönüşüm, Kapitalizm, Ortadoğu’nun etnik yapısı, Avrupa Birliği’nde toplumsal bütünleşme süreci, milliyetçilik, ulus inşası, göç, diaspora, ulus devlet ve etnik farklılıklar bağlamında 70 kadar İngilizce ve Türkçe makale, kitap bölümü ve tebliği bulunmaktadır. Hala KTÜ, Sosyoloji Bölümü’nde akademik faaliyetine devam etmekte ve Siyaset Sosyolojisi odaklı lisans ve yüksek lisans dersleri vermektedir.

Driven by a passion for political sciences and international relations, Vladimir embarked on a PhD journey at the Moldova State University, where he specialized in Political Sciences.

Doç. Dr. Musa Yavuz ALPTEKİN;
1976 yılında doğdu. Ailesi aslen Trabzon/Çaykara ilçesi, Karaçam (Yukarı Ögene) Köyündendir. İlköğretim ve lise düzeyi eğitimini Bayburt’ta, Üniversite eğitimini ise İstanbul’da ve İstanbul Üniversitesi’nde aldı. Aynı üniversitenin Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsünde Sosyal Yapı-Sosyal Değişme Anabilim Dalı’nda Yüksek Lisans (2000) ve Sosyoloji Anabilim Dalında Doktora (2006) çalışmasını tamamladı.
2006 yılında Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi, İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi’nde Sosyoloji dersleri vermeye başladı. Dört yıl sonra aynı Üniversitenin Edebiyat Fakültesi, Sosyoloji Bölümüne geçiş yaptı. Tam bu aşamada Yüksek Öğretim Kurumu’nun Doktora Sonrası Yurtdışı Araştırma Bursuyla, Colorado Üniversitesi, Etnik Çalışmalar Bölümü’nde misafir araştırmacı olarak, Amerika’nın etnik bileşimi, göçmenlik ve entegrasyon konularında araştırma yapmak üzere ABD’ye gitti ve Denver’daki Ahıska Türklerini de içeren yedi aylık bir teorik ve saha çalışması yürüttü. 2010 yılı sonunda Türkiye'ye dönüşünde Sosyoloji bölüm başkanlığına atandı ve bu tarihten sonraki dört buçuk yıl boyunca (Şubat 2016) Bölümün akademik kadrosunun oluşturulması, Lisans ve Yüksek Lisans öğrenci alımı dosyalarının YÖK onayından geçirilmesi gibi temel kuruluş süreçlerini yürüttü.
2013 yılı Temmuz-Eylül döneminde Karadeniz Teknik Üniversitesi’nin temin ettiği altı (6) aylık yurt dışı araştırma bursuyla ve eğitimi aksatmamak gerekçesiyle yaz tatilinde üç aylığına, misafir araştırmacı olarak Malezya’nın başkenti Kuala Lumpur’da bulunan Uluslararası İslam Üniversitesi, Sosyoloji Bölümü’nde teorik ve etnografik bir çalışma yürüttü. Bu süre zarfında Ulus-Devlet ve Etnik farklılıklar arasındaki gerilimi ve muhtemel çözüm yollarını Malezya üzerinde teorik, etnografik ve pratik olarak inceleme imkânı buldu. Söz konusu çalışmasını Türkiye’de Malezya hakkında yazılmış ilk Türkçe kitap olarak KTÜ Yayınevinde bastırdı.
2017 yılında 4 Mart- 31 Temmuz tarihleri arasında TÜBİTAK Doktora Sonrası Yurtdışı Araştırma Bursuyla beş ay İngiltere'de, Birmingham Üniversitesinde konusunun dünyadaki sayılı uzmanlarından, Uluslararası İlişkiler bölümü öğretim üyesi ve Siyaset Bilimci Prof. Dr. Stefan Wolff'un davetiyle bu üniversiteye gitti ve Prof. Wolff’un gözetiminde "Türkiye'de ve Ortadoğu'da Kürtler" konusu üzerine teorik bir çalışma yaptı.
2021 yılı Ekim ayında yine TÜBİTAK’ın yurtdışı doktora sonrası araştırma bursuyla 8 aylığına (kalan süreyi kendisi tazmin ederek toplamda bir yıl kalmıştır) Duisburg-Essen Üniversitesi’ne bağlı bir kurum olan Türkiye Araştırmaları Merkezi müdürü Prof. Dr. Hacı Halil Uslucan’ın davetiyle Almanya’ya gitti. Prof. Uslucan’ın danışmanlığında verilerini Duisburg ve Essen’deki 52 Türk derneği yöneticisi, üyesi ve gönüllüsü 300 kişiden topladığı “Almanya’da Türk Diasporasının Oluşumu” başlıklı nicel ve nitel bir diaspora çalışması yürüttü.
6 Ağustos 2023 tarihinde maaşsız bir araştırma görevlendirmesiyle sosyal yapı, kültür, folklor ve etnografi çalışmaları yapmak üzere Özbekistan’ın başkenti Taşkent’e gitti. Buradaki çalışmaları devam etmektedir.
Sosyolojinin Kent Sosyolojisi, İktisat Sosyolojisi, Siyaset Sosyolojisi ve Etnik Sosyoloji alt bilim dallarına odaklanan yazarın, doktora tezinden müteşekkil Şehir ve Toplum isimli kitabının yanı sıra içerisinde Malezya monografisi ve Trabzon'da Müteahhitlik mesleğini incelediği meslek monografisi ve Trabzon’da Vatanseverlik kavramını incelediği jeo-politik monografi çalışmalarının bulunduğu beş telif eseri ve 17 tane de editörlüğünü yaptığı edisyon kitap çalışması mevcuttur. Alptekin aynı zamanda HABİTUS Toplumbilim Dergisi’nin yanı sıra TR Dizinli İMGELEM Dergisi’nin de editörlüğünü, bu dergileri yayımlayan çatı kurum olan BİLGİTOY Derneği’nin de kurucu başkanlığını yürütmektedir. Çeşitli ulusal ve uluslar arası dergilerde basılmış daha çok Küresel şehirleşme trendleri, Kentsel Dönüşüm, Kapitalizm, Ortadoğu’nun etnik yapısı, Avrupa Birliği’nde toplumsal bütünleşme süreci, milliyetçilik, ulus inşası, göç, diaspora, ulus devlet ve etnik farklılıklar bağlamında 70 kadar İngilizce ve Türkçe makale, kitap bölümü ve tebliği bulunmaktadır. Hala KTÜ, Sosyoloji Bölümü’nde akademik faaliyetine devam etmekte ve Siyaset Sosyolojisi odaklı lisans ve yüksek lisans dersleri vermektedir.
