The Turkish Academy of Sciences (TÜBA) is an autonomous apex body with a special budget dedicated to the mission of developing and encouraging science in Türkiye. The Academy's origins date back to the “Encümen-i Daniş” (Society of Scholars), established in 1851. It encompasses all fields of science, including basic sciences, engineering, health and life sciences, and social and humanities sciences. TÜBA collaborates with national and international scientific institutions to support research and conduct scientific activities. Additionally, it develops partnerships with science academies and umbrella organizations worldwide through working groups, grant and award programs, scientific events, and reporting activities.
The Journal of Higher Education of the Turkish Academy of Sciences (TÜBA-HER) was launched in 2011 with the aim of contributing the transformations in higher education to the scientific literature. Published three times a year in April, August, and December, the journal is an international peer-reviewed and open-access academic publication. The journal is a multidisciplinary, peer-reviewed, scientific journal focused on higher education. When necessary, issues can be enriched with multi-part structures or special themed supplements. The journal, prepared in both Turkish and English, is available in both print (p-ISSN 2146-796X) and digital (e-ISSN 2146-7978) formats.
Throughout the publication process, the journal adheres to scientific ethical principles, and submitted works are evaluated through a double-blind peer review process based on criteria such as originality, contribution value, and methodological consistency. Ethical violations such as plagiarism, failure to cite sources, and breaches of scientific responsibility are addressed with sensitivity.
The journal does not accept advertisements and does not charge fees for published articles. Editorial decisions and preferences are made solely based on the quality and contribution of the research, without any political, economic, or financial interference.
