The field of public policy, which developed in the twentieth century, seems to be at the centre of attention from academic researchers to practitioners. In this context, the aim of our journal is to become an Information Centre related to public administration studies in Turkey and to establish a publication centre focused on public policy discipline. Consequently, it is aimed to bring relevant social sciences studies, especially public administration and public policies, to the literature. In addition, this journal aims to create a common academic platform from different disciplines within the humanities such as Economics and Administrative Sciences, Political Science and International Relations. Contributing to the production of knowledge and value; being a reference source in academic publishing; prioritizing sustainability in public policy, public administration and social areas is the goal of the journal. The editorial board of the Journal of Public Administration and Policy (KAYPOD) believes that since the day it started its publication, the goals can only be achieved through principled publishing policy, respect for science and freedom of expression, and unconditional adherence to the principles of science and research ethics.
