Aim
SDÜ İFADE aims to contribute to the theoretical, empirical, and methodological body of knowledge in communication and media studies by publishing original, high-quality, and scientifically rigorous research.
The journal publishes studies that examine communication phenomena in their social, cultural, political, economic, and technological contexts and engage with current debates through diverse theoretical and methodological approaches. In addition to qualitative, quantitative, mixed-method, and experimental research, it also welcomes theoretical and methodological contributions.
SDÜ İFADE seeks to strengthen academic interaction between national and international communication research and to promote interdisciplinary approaches, methodological diversity, and research transparency. The journal particularly values studies that move beyond the mere description of a specific case or phenomenon and relate their findings to broader theoretical and social debates.
Scope
SDÜ İFADE considers original studies in journalism; public relations and publicity; radio, television, and cinema; visual communication design; and new media and communication.
The journal is also open to contemporary debates at the intersections of these fields, including media, culture, and society; digital transformation; platforms and artificial intelligence; strategic, political, health, and corporate communication; audiovisual culture; and communication ethics, law, and political economy.
SDÜ İFADE further considers theoretical, empirical, comparative, and interdisciplinary contributions that examine communication phenomena within their social, cultural, political, economic, and technological contexts.
Topical relevance alone is not sufficient for a submission to fall within the journal's scope. Manuscripts are expected to be based on a clear research question, engage with the relevant literature, employ an appropriate and transparent method, and make a discernible theoretical, empirical, or methodological contribution to the field of communication.
