The Journal of Russian Studies (RUSAD) is an international, open-access, and peer-reviewed academic journal. RUSAD was first published in 2019 under the name Turkish Journal of Russian Studies (TRAD) and has been published as RUSAD since 2021. RUSAD publishes twice annually and adheres to conventional academic formatting and citation guidelines. The journal aims to bridge the gap between the scientific world and academic studies focused on Russia within the humanities. Enriching academic knowledge of Russia and evaluating and treating Russia within a scientific framework are primary objectives of this journal. Within the framework of these goals, Journal of Russian Studies (RUSAD) advocates for open access to enable direct utilization of its study results by the scientific community. Therefore, RUSAD does not charge authors for publishing their articles or readers for accessing publications. This approach ensures that research findings are widely disseminated, benefitting academia and society as a whole.

In the light of the above objectives, the Journal of Russian Studies (RUSAD) has adopted the principle of publishing academic articles, and book reviews about Russia written in the field of humanities such as history, international relations, political science, public administration, economics, sociology, cultural studies, anthropology, ethnic studies, philosophy, and literature. The Journal of Russian Studies (RUSAD) accepts academic articles written in Turkish, Russian, or English for publication. The articles submitted to the journal should be original texts that have not been published before and should not be in the evaluation process of another journal at the same time. All responsibility in this regard belongs to the author(s) of the article. The extended version of the studies presented as a paper in any conference or symposium can be published by specifying the name, place and date of the conference or symposium. After the manuscripts submitted to the journal are evaluated by the editors of the journal, considering the scientific competence, publication policy and scope of the journal, the manuscripts accepted for publication are read by a “double blind referee” in accordance with the rules of scientific ethics, so that the identities of both the author and the referees are concealed from each other during the evaluation process.
