- Kıymetli araştırmacılar ve akademisyenlerimize ...
- Sizleri saygıyla selamlıyoruz.
Dergimizin her yıl olduğu gibi 2025-2026 akademik eğitim ve araştırma sürecinde gerçekleştirilmesine yönelik çalışmalar kamuoyuna sunulmuştur.
Akademik Tarih ve Düşünce Dergisi, 2025–2026 akademik yılına yaklaşırken, uluslararası akademik yayıncılık standartlarını geliştirmeyi ve küresel bilimsel etkileşim ağını daha da genişletmeyi hedefleyen kapsamlı bir güncelleme sürecine girmiştir. Bu sürecin temel gerekçesini, mevcut akademik iş birliği protokollerinin yenilenmesi ve farklı ülkelerden yükseköğretim kurumları ile araştırma merkezlerinden gelen yeni protokol taleplerinin değerlendirilmesi oluşturmaktadır. Mevcut protokoller arasında yer alan Azərbaycan Milli İlimlər Akademisi ile yürütülen iş birliği, dergimizin uluslararası düzeyde kurumsallaşmış akademik ilişkilerinin önemli bir göstergesidir. Bu modelin, yeni dönemde Afganistan Cevizcan Üniversitesi, Cezayir’deki çeşitli üniversiteler, ayrıca Özbekistan, Kırgızistan, Kazakistan ve Azerbaycan’daki diğer akademik kurumlar ile genişletilerek sürdürülmesi planlanmaktadır. Böylelikle, yalnızca mevcut protokollerin yenilenmesi değil, aynı zamanda yeni iş birliklerinin hayata geçirilmesiyle dergimizin uluslararası ağları genişletilecektir. 2025–2026 eğitim-öğretim döneminin hızla yaklaşması, uluslararası sempozyumların takvime bağlanmasını, tematik kongrelerin ve disiplinler arası zirvelerin planlı bir biçimde organize edilmesini zorunlu kılmaktadır. Bu çerçevede yalnızca akademisyenlerin farklı platformlarda buluşmasına zemin hazırlayan toplantılar değil, aynı zamanda bu etkinliklerde sunulacak bildirilerin ve makalelerin yayın süreçlerinin de kurumsal protokollerle güvence altına alınması önem arz etmektedir. Böylelikle, akademik üretim yalnızca sözlü paylaşımlarla sınırlı kalmayacak; kalıcı bilimsel çıktılar aracılığıyla uluslararası literatüre düzenli katkı sunulacaktır. Ayrıca, ortak araştırma projelerinin somut bir takvim üzerinden yapılandırılması, genç araştırmacılara çalışmalarının geliştirilmesi ve çok merkezli iş birliklerinin desteklenmesi de bu güncellemenin hedefleri arasında yer almaktadır. Dolayısıyla, yaklaşan dönemin dinamikleri, akademik etkileşimin yalnızca düzenli toplantılarla değil, aynı zamanda sonuçları yayımlanmış bilimsel çalışmalarla kurumsallaşmasını gerekli kılmaktadır. Söz konusu iş birlikleri; ortak yayın projeleri, editöryal ve hakemlik süreçlerinde karşılıklı destek, tematik dosya çağrıları, bilimsel etkinliklerin düzenlenmesi ve akademik değişim programları gibi çok boyutlu faaliyetlerle somutlaştırılacaktır. Bu girişimler, yalnızca bölgesel değil aynı zamanda küresel ölçekte bilimsel iletişimin gelişmesine, araştırma sonuçlarının daha hızlı dolaşımına ve akademik bilgi üretiminin çeşitlenmesine katkı sunacaktır. Güncelleme sürecinin bir diğer stratejik boyutu, uluslararası indekslerin taleplerine uygun multidisipliner makalelerin kabul süreçlerinin hızla temellerinin oluşturulmasıdır. Yeni dönemde, uluslararası protokoller ile yayımlanacak makaleler arasında kurulacak güçlü bağ, bilimsel üretimin niteliğini ve etki alanını artıracak; Akademik Tarih ve Düşünce Dergisi’nin küresel akademik topluluk içerisindeki konumunu daha da ileriye taşıyacaktır. 2025-2026 Eğitim-Öğretim yılı itibarıyla, bilimsel içeriklerdeki gelişmelerin yanı sıra dergimizin web sayfaları da yenilenecek; böylelikle genişleyen vizyonu sayesinde etki alanı daha da güçlenecektir.
