Dear Researchers,

The Kırıkkale University Journal of Social Sciences (KUJSS) is a peer-reviewed, international, electronic, and open-access journal that aims to publish qualified academic studies produced in all fields of social sciences. The journal is published twice a year, in January and July.

KUJSS accepts original scholarly articles prepared in Turkish, English, Arabic, Persian, and French. The journal welcomes qualitative, quantitative, and mixed-method research conducted in disciplines such as History, Literature, Education, Business Administration, Economics, Public Administration, Sociology, Psychology, Law, Philosophy, Fine Arts, International Relations, field education, and other branches of the social sciences.

All submitted manuscripts must include an English extended summary (Extended Summary).
            

    - Ethics Committee Approval: Ethics committee approval must be uploaded for quantitative research and survey-based studies.
    

    - Proportion of Articles Derived from Graduate Theses and Articles Authored by Internal Contributors: To ensure institutional and author diversity and to enhance the diversity of the journal’s scholarly content, articles with at least one author affiliated with Kırıkkale University and articles derived from master’s or doctoral theses or co-authored with the thesis supervisor in relation to the thesis research may each constitute no more than 25% of the total number of research articles published in a given issue. If an article falls into both categories, it shall be counted under only one category in order to avoid double counting. The category under which such an article will be counted shall be determined by the Editorial Board, taking into consideration the distribution of articles across the relevant categories in that issue. Where the number of articles that have successfully completed the peer-review process exceeds the specified limits, their publication shall be scheduled for subsequent issues, taking into account scholarly quality and originality, diversity of topics and authors, article type, publication language, and date of acceptance.
 

    - Out-of-Scope Studies: By decision of the Editorial Board, scale development/adaptation, translation, and book review studies are not accepted for publication.
