The editorial board will re-evaluate manuscripts that are accepted pending revision. All published articles in this peer-reviewed journal will be reviewed by members of the editorial board and reviewers, and it is the goal of  JIAE, to publish manuscripts within 8-12 weeks after submission.

Regular/Research Articles
All portions of the manuscript must be typed 1,15 and all pages numbered starting from the title page.

The Title should be a brief phrase describing the contents of the paper. The Title Page should include the authors' full names and affiliations, the name of the corresponding author along with phone, fax and E-mail information. Present addresses of authors should appear as a footnote.

The Abstract should be informative and completely self-explanatory, briefly present the topic, state the scope of the experiments, indicate significant data, and point out major findings and conclusions. The Abstract should be 250 to 300 words in length. Complete sentences and syntax, active verbs, and the third person should be used, and the abstract should be written in the past tense. Standard nomenclature should be used and abbreviations should be avoided. No literature should be cited.


Following the abstract, about 3 to 10 key words that will provide indexing references should be listed.

A list of non-standard abbreviations should be added. In general, non-standard abbreviations should be used only when the full term is very long and used often. Each abbreviation should be spelled out and introduced in parentheses the first time it is used in the text.

Introduction should provide a clear statement of the problem, the relevant literature on the subject, and the proposed approach or solution. It should be understandable to colleagues from a broad range of diverse disciplines.

Method should be complete enough to allow experiments to be reproduced. However, only truly new procedures should be described in detail; previously published procedures should be cited, and important modifications of published procedures should be mentioned briefly. Capitalize trade names and include the manufacturer's name and address. Subheadings; Research Model, Participants or Sampling, Data Collection Tools, Data Analysis should be used. Methods in general use need not be described in detail.

Results should be presented with clarity and precision. The results should be written in the past tense when describing findings in the authors' experiments. Previously published findings should be written in the present tense. Results should be explained, but largely without referring to the literature. Discussion, speculation and detailed interpretation of data should not be included in the Results but should be put into the Discussion section.

Discussion and Conclusion should interpret the findings in view of the results obtained in this and in past studies on this topic. State the conclusions in a few sentences at the end of the paper. The Results and Discussion sections can include subheadings, and when appropriate, both sections can be combined.

Acknowledgments of people, grants, funds, etc should be brief.

Biodata of Authors must be added before the references

Please provides scholarly information about author/s of 100 to 150 words must also be submitted. Leave 2 blank lines after bio-data with photograph and full contact addresses.

Tables should be kept to a minimum and be designed to be as simple as possible. Tables are to be typed double-spaced throughout, including headings and footnotes. Each table should be on a separate page, numbered consecutively in Arabic numerals and supplied with a heading and a legend. Tables should be self-explanatory without reference to the text. The details of the methods used in the experiments should preferably be described in the legend instead of in the text. The same data should not be presented in both table and graph form or repeated in the text.

Figure legends should be typed in numerical order on a separate sheet. Graphics should be prepared using applications capable of generating high resolution GIF, TIFF, JPEG or PowerPoint before pasting in the Microsoft Word manuscript file.

Tables should be prepared in Microsoft Word. Use Arabic numerals to designate figures and upper case letters for their parts (Figure 1). Begin each legend with a title and include sufficient description so that the figure is understandable without reading the text of the manuscript. Information given in legends should not be repeated in the text.

References: In the text, a reference identified by means of an author's surname should be followed by the date of the reference in parentheses. When there are more than two authors, only the first author's name should be mentioned, followed by 'et al'. In the event that an author cited has had two or more works published during the same year, the reference, both in the text and in the reference list, should be identified by a lower case letter like 'a' and 'b' after the date to distinguish the works.

Examples
Reference must conform to the style of the Publication Manual of the APA 6th Edition. Start the reference with the sequence "Reference:" (without the quotes) in 10 point bold-face and leave 1 blank lines after "Reference".

Surname, initial name/s. (Year). Name et al. (Year), (Name, Year), (Name1 and Name2, Year), (Name, Year; Name, Year a,b; Name, Year1,year2), (Name et al., Year) References should be listed at the end of the paper in alphabetical order.

Short Communications

Short Communications are limited to a maximum of two figures and one table. They should present a complete study that is more limited in scope than is found in full-length papers. The items of manuscript preparation listed above apply to Short Communications with the following differences:

Abstracts are limited to 100-150 words;

Instead of a separate Materials and Methods section, experimental procedures may be incorporated into Figure Legends and Table footnotes;

Results and Discussion should be combined into a single section.

Proofs and Reprints

Electronic proofs will be sent (e-mail attachment) to the corresponding author as a PDF file. Page proofs are considered to be the final version of the manuscript. With the exception of typographical or minor clarical errors, no changes will be made in the manuscript at the proof stage. Because PRESS will be published freely online to attract a wide audience), authors will have free electronic access to the full text (in both HTML and PDF) of the article. Authors can freely download the PDF file from which they can print unlimited copies of their articles.

Citations in the Text should be:

Follow the author-date- page number format (see example 1).
If you are referring to an idea from another work but not directly quoting material, or making entire reference to an entire book, article or other work, only make reference to the author and year of publication (see example 2).


If there is no author to cite, such as when you are citing a web page that lists no author use an abbreviated version of the title of the page in quotation marks (see example 3).
Italicize the titles of longer words such as books, edited collections, movies, documentaries, or albums.


Put quotation marks around the titles of works such as journal articles, articles from edited collections, television shows and song titles.
If a work has two authors, cite both last names every time the reference in your text.

Indicate direct quotations of fewer than 40 words, enclose the quotation within double quotation marks (see example1).
Start the quotations longer than 40 words on a new line, indented five space from the left margin and omit quotation marks (see example 4).
If you are citing a work that has no author, no date, and no page numbers, use the first few words from the title, then the abbreviation n.d. (for "no date"), (see example 5).

If you are using a quotation that uses quotation marks as a short quotation, use single quotation marks to set off material that was originally enclosed in quotation marks. If you are using a quotation in block quote, use double quotation marks.
Personal communications, such as e-mail messages to you, private interviews that you conducted with another person should be referred to in text citations but not in reference list (see example 6).

Example 1
She stated, "Students often had difficulty using APA style," (Jones, 1998, p.199), but she did not offer an explanations as to why. According to Jones (1998), "Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time" (p.199). Jones (1998) found "Students often had difficulty using APA style" (p.199); what implications does this have for teachers?

Example 2
Jones (1998) compared student performance…
In a recent study of student performance (Jones, 1998), …
In 1998, Jones compared student performance…

Example 3
A similar study was done of students learning to format research papers
("Using APA 6").

Example 4
Jones 's 1993 study found the following: Students often had difficulty using APA style, especially when it was their first time citing sources. This difficulty could be attributed to the fact that many students failed to purchase a style manual or to ask their teacher for help. (p.199)

Example 5.
In another study of students and research decisions, it was discovered that students succeeded with tutoring ("Tutoring and APA," n.d.).

Example 6.
A. P. Smith also claimed that many of her students had difficulties with APA style (personal communication, November 3, 2002).

References should be placed on a different page.
Cite references in alphabetical order by first author‘ surname and then his/her name.
References by a single author precede multi-authored works by same first author, regardless of date
List works by the same author(s) in chronological order, beginning with the earliest date of publication. If author has two works in same year, place in alphabetical order by first significant word in title. These works should be lettered consecutively (e.g. 2004a, 2004b).
Use "&" instead of "and" when listing multiple authors of a single work
If no author is given for a particular source, begin with and alphabetize by using the title of the work, which will be listed in place of the author.
All lines after the first line of each entry in your reference list should be indented from the left margin.
When referring to any work that is not a journal, such as a book, article, or web page, capitalize only the first letter of the first word of a title and subtitle, the first word after a colon or a dash in the title and proper nouns. Do not capitalize the first letter of the second word in a hyphenated compound word.

Capitalize all major words in journal titles
Italicize titles of longer works such as books and journals.

Article Processing Charge

Articles that apply to the JIAE academic journal are taken in pre-review stage. Pre-review is done by the editorial board. Articles that do not have the necessary permissions, whose plagiarism report is negative and that are outside the coverage of the journal are rejected. Then, the Article Review Process starts, where there are at least two referees and blind. The decision to publish is taken for those who are successful in the referee process.


All articles published in JIAE are open access and freely available online, immediately upon publication. This is made possible by an article-processing charge (APC) that covers the range of publishing services we provide. This includes provision of online tools for editors and authors, reviewers, editors and reviewers progress payments, article copyediting, production and hosting, layout editing, liaison with abstracting and indexing services, and customer services.

As a matter of ethics, article Processing Charge is paid when the article is uploaded to the journal management system by the author. No editorial evaluation and review process are initiated without the payment. This payment does not indicate that the article uploaded by the author will certainly be published. This payment is only related to the article processing process.

As per the resolution passed by Turkish Higher Education Council at the General Assembly dated March 03, 2019, an article published in JIAE can be included in the applications (declaration) for associate professorship since the journal falls under the clause of "Journals that charge fees -regardless of acceptance/rejection condition- during application".

“Türkiye Yükseköğretim Kurulu’nun 07.03.2019 tarihli Genel Kurulunda aldığı karar gereği, JIAE’de yayınlanan bir makale Makale başvuru sırasında -kabul/red kararına bağlı olmaksızın ücret alan dergiler, maddesini karşıladığından doçentlik başvurularında (beyannamede) kullanılabilir.”

Article Processing Charge 750 TL (for Turkey), 100 GBP (other countries).

Subscription for per year: 750 TL (for Turkey), 100 GBP (other countries).

Article Publication Charge
JIAE does not charge article publishing fees.



Publication Ethics and Mal Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement Ethic
Publication Ethics and Malpractice Statement

Ethical Guidelines for Journal Publication
(According to Elsevier policies)
The publication of an article in a peer reviewed journal is an essential fundamental in the development of a coherent and reputable network of knowledge and is the essential model for Journal for Interdisciplinary Art and Education (JIAE). It is also 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. Therefore, it is crucial to agree upon standards of expected ethical behavior for all parties involved in the act of publishing including the author, the journal editor, the peer reviewer and the publisher.

The Publisher (Young Wise (Genç Bilge) Publishing) and Editorial Board of the JIAE takes its duties of guardianship over all stages of publishing extremely seriously. We recognize our responsibilities in all our policies and ethical guidelines.

The Publisher and Editorial Board also endeavor to contribute in establishing standards and policies that improve scientific communications, promote business ethics, and encourage continued, sustainable growth in the field of scholarly publishing. We are committed to ensuring that advertising, reprint or other commercial revenue has no impact or influence on editorial decisions.

Duties of Authors
Reporting standards
Authors of reports of original research should present an accurate account of the work performed as well as an objective discussion of its significance. Underlying data should be represented accurately in the paper. A paper should contain sufficient detail and references to permit others to replicate the work. Fraudulent or knowingly inaccurate statements constitute unethical behavior and are unacceptable. Review and professional publication articles should also be accurate and objective, and editorial opinion works should be clearly identified as such.

Data access and retention
Authors may be asked to provide the raw data in connection with a paper for editorial review, and should be prepared to provide public access to such data, if practicable, and should in any event be prepared to retain such data for a reasonable time after publication.

Originality and Plagiarism
The authors should ensure that they have written entirely original works, and if the authors have used the work and/or words of others that this has been appropriately cited or quoted. Plagiarism takes many forms, from 'passing off' another's paper as the author's own paper, to copying or paraphrasing substantial parts of another's paper (without attribution), to claiming results from research conducted by others. Plagiarism in all its forms constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. Editorial Board of the JIAE check the submitted articles with IThenticate/Turnitin (e.g) program.

Multiple, Redundant or Concurrent Publication
An author should not in general publish manuscripts describing essentially the same research in more than one journal or primary publication. Submitting the same manuscript to more than one journal concurrently constitutes unethical publishing behavior and is unacceptable. In general, an author should not submit for consideration in another journal a previously published paper. Publication of some kinds of articles (e.g. clinical guidelines, translations) in more than one journal is sometimes justifiable, provided certain conditions are met. The authors and editors of the journals concerned must agree to the secondary publication, which must reflect the same data and interpretation of the primary document. The primary reference must be cited in the secondary publication.

Acknowledgement of Sources
Proper acknowledgment of the work of others must always be given. Authors should cite publications that have been influential in determining the nature of the reported work. Information obtained privately, as in conversation, correspondence, or discussion with third parties, must not be used or reported without explicit, written permission from the source. Information obtained in the course of confidential services, such as refereeing manuscripts or grant applications, must not be used without the explicit written permission of the author of the work involved in these services.

Authorship of the Paper
Authorship should be limited to those who have made a significant contribution to the conception, design, execution, or interpretation of the reported study. All those who have made significant contributions should be listed as co-authors. Where there are others who have participated in certain substantive aspects of the research project, they should be acknowledged or listed as contributors. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate co-authors and no inappropriate co-authors are included on the paper, and that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the paper and have agreed to its submission for publication.

Hazards and Human or Animal Subjects
If the work involves chemicals, procedures or equipment that have any unusual hazards inherent in their use, the author must clearly identify these in the manuscript. If the work involves the use of animal or human subjects, the author should ensure that the manuscript contains a statement that all procedures were performed in compliance with relevant laws and institutional guidelines and that the appropriate institutional committee(s) has approved them. Authors should include a statement in the manuscript that informed consent was obtained for experimentation with human subjects. The privacy rights of human subjects must always be observed.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
All authors should disclose in their manuscript any financial or other substantive conflict of interest that might be construed to influence the results or interpretation of their manuscript. All sources of financial support for the project should be disclosed. Examples of potential conflicts of interest which should be disclosed include employment, consultancies, stock ownership, honoraria, paid expert testimony, patent applications/registrations, and grants or other funding. Potential conflicts of interest should be disclosed at the earliest stage possible.

Fundamental Errors in Published Works
When an author discovers a significant error or inaccuracy in his/her own published work, it is the author’s obligation to promptly notify the journal editor or publisher and cooperate with the editor to retract or correct the paper. If the editor or the publisher learns from a third party that a published work contains a significant error, it is the obligation of the author to promptly retract or correct the paper or provide evidence to the editor of the correctness of the original paper.

Duties of the Editorial Board
(According to Elsevier policies and COPE’s Best Practice Guidelines)

Publication Decisions
The editor of a peer-reviewed Journal for the Interdisciplinary Art and Education  (JIAE) is responsible for deciding which of the articles submitted to the journal should be published. The validation of the work in question and its importance to researchers and readers must always drive such decisions. The editor may be guided by the policies of the journal's editorial board and constrained by such legal requirements as shall then be in force regarding libel, copyright infringement and plagiarism. The editor may confer with other editors or reviewers in making this decision.

Fair Play
An editor should evaluate manuscripts for their intellectual content without regard to race, gender, sexual orientation, religious belief, ethnic origin, citizenship, or political philosophy of the authors.

Confidentiality
The editor and any editorial staff must not disclose any information about a submitted manuscript to anyone other than the corresponding author, reviewers, potential reviewers, other editorial advisers, and the publisher, as appropriate.

Disclosure and Conflicts of Interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in an editor's own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Editors should recuse themselves (i.e. should ask a co-editor, associate editor or other member of the editorial board instead to review and consider) from considering manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or (possibly) institutions connected to the papers. Editors should require all contributors to disclose relevant competing interests and publish corrections if competing interests are revealed after publication. If needed, other appropriate action should be taken, such as the publication of a retraction or expression of concern.

Involvement and Cooperation in Investigations
An editor should take reasonably responsive measures when ethical complaints have been presented concerning a submitted manuscript or published paper, in conjunction with the publisher (or society). Such measures will generally include contacting the author of the manuscript or paper and giving due consideration of the respective complaint or claims made, but may also include further communications to the relevant institutions and research bodies, and if the complaint is upheld, the publication of a correction, retraction, expression of concern, or other note, as may be relevant. Every reported act of unethical publishing behavior must be looked into, even if it is discovered years after publication.

Peer review assists the editor in making editorial decisions and through the editorial communications with the author may also assist the author in improving the paper. Peer review is an essential component of formal scholarly communication, and lies at the heart of the scientific method.

Promptness
Any selected referee who feels unqualified to review the research reported in a manuscript or knows that its prompt review will be impossible should notify the editor and excuse himself from the review process.

Confidentiality
Any manuscripts received for review must be treated as confidential documents. They must not be shown to or discussed with others except as authorized by the editor.

Standards of Objectivity
Reviews should be conducted objectively. Personal criticism of the author is inappropriate. Referees should express their views clearly with supporting arguments.

Acknowledgement of Sources
Reviewers should identify relevant published work that has not been cited by the authors. Any statement that an observation, derivation, or argument had been previously reported should be accompanied by the relevant citation. A reviewer should also call to the editor's attention any substantial similarity or overlap between the manuscript under consideration and any other published paper of which they have personal knowledge.

Disclosure and Conflict of Interest
Unpublished materials disclosed in a submitted manuscript must not be used in a reviewer’s own research without the express written consent of the author. Privileged information or ideas obtained through peer review must be kept confidential and not used for personal advantage. Reviewers should not consider manuscripts in which they have conflicts of interest resulting from competitive, collaborative, or other relationships or connections with any of the authors, companies, or institutions connected to the papers.

Born in Osmaniye in 1973, she graduated from Dokuz Eylül University’s Faculty of Fine Arts, Department of Painting in 2000 with a thesis titled “The Problematic of Chance and Coincidence in the 20th Century.” She later obtained her master’s degree in 2006 from the Institute of Social Sciences at Cumhuriyet University, where her thesis—“Art Debates in Turkish Painting between 1930–1970 and the Artist at the Centre of the Debates: Bedri Rahmi Eyüboğlu”—focused on the role of Eyüboğlu in shaping critical discourse within modern Turkish art.

Her academic and artistic journey has consistently bridged theory and practice. In 2012, she conducted research on holography in Seoul, South Korea, which laid the groundwork for her subsequent doctoral thesis entitled “Holography as a Medium of Artistic Expression”, completed at Gazi University’s Institute of Fine Arts in 2013. This study culminated in a curated exhibition that explored the relationship between holography, painting, and photography. She earned her proficiency in art (the equivalent of a doctoral degree) and was awarded the title of Associate Professor in 2016.

Since then, she has been serving as a faculty member at Düzce University’s Faculty of Art, Design, and Architecture, the Department of Basic Art Sciences. Prior to her current appointment, she held various academic and institutional positions between 1999 and 2014.

Dr. Işık’s research and artistic practice center on the evolving relationship between art and digital media, with particular emphasis on artificial intelligence, iconography, and interdisciplinary aesthetics. She has published extensively in peer-reviewed journals and presented her work at numerous international conferences on art and design.

Her recent solo exhibitions, Urban Mutation (2024) and Holographic AI Glitch (2025), engage with themes such as algorithmic error, glitch aesthetics, and urban transformation. Through a practice that integrates critical theory, technological experimentation, and visual inquiry, Vildan IŞIK continues to make a multifaceted contribution to contemporary visual culture as both a researcher and an artist.
