Aim of publishing the Journal Israiliyat is to provide critical and scientific platform to promote research discussion on all aspects of Israel and Judaism in academia- both in Turkey and abroad, mainly by using Turkish and English sources along with Arabic and Hebrew sources. in Turkey, the region and the world while there is a growing interest to understand Israel-Judaism related subject information deficiency problem in this field in Turkey is still relevant today. Israiliyat believe that the gathering and disseminating of academic discussions in this subject by critical way are crucial to achieving better rational and solution oriented outcomes for Israel and Judaism. Israiliyat aims to give as much scientific information as possible about Judaism as having one of the oldest holy books in the world and Israel as being one of the newest states in the Middle East. İsrailyat believe that Jewish and non-Jewish Academic communities in the West and Israel establishing the scientific centers and programs should be closely monitored. Not only Muslim scholarship but also Jewish or non-Muslim scholarship on Israel and Judaism must be critically and reflectively evaluated. Israiliyat actively encourages the work of younger scholars along with senior scholars to advance knowledge concerning all aspects of Jewish studies from Biblical Times to the present day. Israiliyat, being published from 2017, aims to become a reference source for researchers interested in Israeli and Judaic studies by being national international indexed journal having a high impact factor. Israeli and Judaic studies have moved beyond its multi-disciplinary approach, which composed of traditional discipline-based and subject-based approach to contemporary interdisciplinary approach in the academic world. However Israeli and Judaic studies as an area or religious/ cultural studies in Turkey are very new and have drawn upon discipline-based approaches and methodologies especially in such study as politics, history and religion. Due to this reason, the journal gives great importance to publishing articles in such traditional disciplines and aims the newly interdisciplinary approaches become prevalent in research.
Having adopted international and interdisciplinary approach with the target of assembling the scholarly works on Judaism and Israel in Turkey, Israiliyat organizes the annually scholarly International Conferences on Israel and Judaism Studies (ICIJS- IPA aɪsidʒɪz/) , being the only periodic platform on Israel and Judaism studies in Turkey, it aims to create a constructive forum and discussion platform during which both native and foreign researchers from various disciplines would gather and exchange ideas. The mission of I Israiliyat’is to provide a platform for academics, students, and researchers from Turkey and all over the world to present their well-balanced, objective, and bias-free sharing of academic research research results in the field of Israel and Judaism studies. organized Israiliyat gives awards to distinguished thesis / book / article in the categories of history, politics and religion in in the field of "Israel and Judaism studies" at the organized conferences to encourage academic studies in the field, by the selection of the evaluation committee including experts from the field. |
Israeli and Jewish studies(madaʻe/limudei/mehaker yisrael, madae/limudey ha-yahadut) are accepted as a separate field of study and academic unit, despite many overlaps or being an integral part of each other, such as two sides of the same coin. According to the context, Israel or Israeli studies and Judaism or Jewish/Judaic studies can also be used as concepts. The Israeli and Jewish concepts, which are nominalized adjectives, have broader content. While Jewish/Judaism studies are similar to Islamic/Islam or Christian/Christine studies, Israeli/Israel studies are like a counterbalance/counterweight to field of the Palestinian/Palestine studies. the traditional fields of Jewish studies includes such as Jewish theology, history, and languages as well as the issues regarding with modern field of Israeli studies such as politics, international relations, contemporary history, sociology etc, and vice versa. “Israiliyat: Journal of Israeli and Judaic Studies” publishes research articles by adopting and promoting a multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches from traditional studies in religion, history, politics, international relations philosophy, economics, literature, sociology, and law etc. to contemporary studies in security, conflict management, media, women, human rights, holocaust, area/region etc. traditional studying methods of Israiliyat which is body of Jewish lore that penetrated several genres of early Muslim texts started to transform to new/ modern Israiliyat, of the Israelites, (Isra’iliyyat Israelitica,Israelica, Israelology) which has similar subject with Judaica, Hebraica, Semitica, and Mosaica studies. Although the term Neo-Israiliyat maintains identical characteristics with its predecessor to some extent, both new content and perspective is required to understand modern Israel and Judaic related subjects. While most early scholars viewed this tradition essentially from religious perspective, but now to understand modern Israiliyat, it is required to use different discipline of social sciences such as political, economic, social, cultural and security studies, etc. in addition to its religious studies. The study of New Israiliyat may help to close the knowledge gap regarding modern Israeli and Judaic studies in Turkey and Islamic world. During searching for exploring the unique truth which is related the relation of truth- reality, instead of using normative, subjectivist, totalizing, polemic, refutative, exclusive and opposite binaries, it is important to use the objective, rational, realistic, scientific, and positivist approaches to comprehend all aspects of the Jewish and Israeli scholarship. |

Due to becoming interdisciplinary journal writing and referencing can be in any style or format as long as the style is consistent. We gently advise authors the use of The Chicago Manual of Style (CMS): Note and Bibliography (Author- Title) for formatting.
Each reference must have at least 50 characters and max 500 characters. Please do not forget to leave a blank line between each reference.
Journal of Israeli and Judaic Studies accepts a using a particular The Chicago Manual of Style (CMS): Note and Bibliography (or Turabian) system as documentation style. See the CMS manual for issues not listed in this guideline. (available online at http://chicagomanualofstyle.org/tools_citationguide.html).
Citations may be placed in In-Text Citation or at the bottom of the pages (footnotes) of your article. Bibliography (references) shall be placed after the conclusion of article.
“References” have to be given only in the form as “Surname, Name. Title of the Work. Place of Publication: Publisher, Year.” in both in-Text Citation or Footnote Citation systems are preferred,
As a largers sources, name of the publications in footnotes (Title of Book and Title of Journal) shall be indicated in italic and title of article title of chapter, webpage as a small part of a larger sources in quotation marks; page numbers cited shall be specified.
Full information of the resources cited shall be given; any un-cited resource shall not be presented in the references.
Books, articles, reports, news articles, archival documents...[et al.] will be given in alphabetical order (classified in their own kind or together).
Exact page numbers of the articles should be specified.
In using the word processor plug-ins from reference management software such as Mendeley, Zotero and EndNote citations and bibliographies could be automatically formatted in CMS.
In titles of articles, books, and other sources, each word shall be capitalized, except for articles (the, an), prepositions, or conjunctions, unless one is the first word of the title or subtitle.
4.1. Three Types of Basic Sources and Examples for Bibliography and Citation
In CMS, there are three types/ format of basic sources: book, chapter (in edited book) and article (in journal). Citation elements in book and article consist of three parts, book chapter consists of four parts in notes where references and citations are given (N) and bibliography where sources is written (B). In book, which is the most basic sources, there are order of three parts/ items within the citation: (Author, Title, Edition Information), in book chapter there is "Title of Chapter" in addition to these three parts. In article "Title of Article" part is necessary but Edition Information part is not necessary except Year. In CMS the parentheses are used only for (Location: Publisher, Year) in notes and for (Year) in articles in notes and bibliography.
Format II: Book Chapter is most suitable format for other kind of sources (Entry in an Encyclopedia Web Web Paper Presentation Published Proceedings)
Below while bold ones must be written exactly the same, for others appropriate information should be written.
In international common citation styles including Chicago style, work information (Author, Title, Edition Information) about the work are generally separated by a “comma” in footnotes, and by “dot” in the references. In the references, the separation of the title and its information by a “dot” is necessary for citation referencing softwares for analyzing and interpreting the title and its information in order to make them meaningful.
While in the footnote Edition Information (Location: Publisher, Year) is written in parentheses without commas after the name of the book in italics,
In the bibliography, it is written in without parentheses with period after the name of the book in italics.
6. When a source is cited more than once, the citations after the first citation should only include the surname(s) of the author(s) and the shortened title. If the same source is cited in the footnotes following each other, “Ibid.” should be used. (Chicago discourages the use of ibid. in favor of shortened citations)
The first time you cite a source, you will include a full citation then shortened / succeeding notes or abbreviations like ibid in italic shall be used. If more than one book and article by the same author is used, after the first usage of the second source, the surname of the author, then shortened name for the book or article shall be used. In the case of references with more than four and more authors, all authors shall be written at the first instance and given in the shortened style afterwards. (14.24 –14.28)
Not all letters of the surname are capitalized.
Don't include the parts of publishers' names that are not required to locate the publisher such as Publisher.
Titles of unpublished works appear in "quotation marks"—not in italics. This treatment extends to theses and dissertations, which are otherwise cited like books.
