Journal of Balkan and Black Sea Studies is the interdisciplinary journal on the humanities and social sciences of the Balkan countries and the former Soviet republics. The journal welcomes contributions in the fields of history, economics, politics, international relations, culture, art, geography, literature, theology, ethnography and environmental sciences.  The idea behind this initiative is to extend a cross-cultural and cross-disciplinary approach over issues of regional importance.  Under this light, the journal aspires to act as an academic forum for scholars in historical as well as contemporary context on a wide range of cross-regional issues and to provide the epistemological framework for a comparative investigation, which would enhance our understanding of the Balkan, and Black Sea societies, polities and communities.  Furthermore, manuscripts connecting the region with wider scopes, such as technological applications, will be also considered.

The journal has been published online since 2018, with two issues released annually. Themed issues are also planned. Submitted manuscripts must be original and not previously published or under consideration elsewhere. Manuscripts should not exceed 8,000 words in length and will undergo anonymous peer review by at least two members of the scientific committee. The inclusion of color graphics and images is encouraged and generally not restricted, provided it remains reasonable. However, it is the responsibility of the authors to obtain any necessary copyright permissions. Submissions are accepted in English and Turkish. Articles in other languages may occasionally be considered. All submissions must include an abstract in English, ranging from 100 to 200 words.
