Within the scope of Yedi Journal, the main points of the amendments added to the publication process regulations to be implemented as of 2026 are summarized as follows:
- The journal does not accept articles derived from postgraduate theses or conference papers.
- In addition to the standard abstract, all articles submitted for publication must include an “extended abstract” of 750–1,500 words.
- Articles must be between 6,000 and 9,000 words in length, excluding footnotes and references (the abstract, extended abstract, and references are not included in the word count).
- Content autonomously generated by generative artificial intelligence tools (such as large language models, chatbots, or similar systems) that substitutes for the author’s core intellectual contributions—such as academic writing, analysis, interpretation, or the formulation of conclusions—is not accepted, and submissions of this nature will be rejected. The use of artificial intelligence tools for language editing, grammatical improvement, formatting assistance, or translation is permitted only if explicitly disclosed.
yedi, welcomes studies in art and design disciplines, as well as research in the humanities (philosophy, history, archaeology), social sciences (sociology, anthropology, political science, psychology, economics, law), applied sciences (architecture, engineering, medicine), and natural sciences (physics, biology) that focus on art and design. In addition, it includes interdisciplinary research fields such as cultural studies and communication studies structured around art and design.
yedi is published twice a year, with issues released in January and July. Manuscript submission for the July issue opens on 15 January, while submission for the January issue opens on 1 September. Once a sufficient number of manuscripts has been received for the relevant issue, the journal is closed to further submissions.
