The Journal of East Asian Studies (DAAD) aims to disseminate to the scientific community and the public academic research conducted in Turkey in the field of East Asian studies (including the culture, political history, economy, sociology, philosophy, belief systems, foreign policy, security, and nationalities/minorities/ethnic groups issues of China/Japan/Korea/Mongolia/Taiwan/Vietnam/Cambodia/Laos/Myanmar/Thailand/Brunei/Malaysia/Indonesia/Philippines) with an interdisciplinary perspective.
DAAD continues to enrich its experience by creating a space for academic interaction for scholars producing knowledge in the field of East Asian studies in Turkey, sharing their knowledge with experts in the field, and contributing to the development of a new generation of regional experts with broader expertise. Manuscripts submitted to our journal are reviewed by editors specializing in the region and then sent to expert referees, who then undergo a rigorous peer-review process. Scientific studies to be published in DAAD must fill a gap in the field, add to existing knowledge, present new and original information, evaluate or offer a new perspective on previously published studies, and introduce various works and figures. DAAD is an internationally peer-reviewed, scientific journal published twice a year, in the spring and fall semesters, with articles in Turkish, English, and Chinese. It is not affiliated with any political, ideological, or religious group or organization.

Evaluation of Articles

Articles prepared in accordance with the rules stated below must be uploaded to the Dergipark system and sent for evaluation.

Incoming articles are subjected to a preliminary review by the Editorial Board. During the preliminary review, the article is evaluated for its conformity with the Journal’s publishing principles and policies, its contribution to the field, as well as its subject matter, writing style, and format. Articles deemed suitable in these respects are sent to two referees recognized in their respective fields for scholarly evaluation. No information is sent to the referees regarding the author’s identity, and the names of the reviewers are not disclosed to the authors. If one of the referee reports is positive and the other negative, the article may be sent to a third referee. Articles requested corrections by the referees are returned to the author for necessary changes. Any corrections requested are expected to be made within a specified timeframe. Articles that do not receive at least two positive reports, are resubmitted to the author for correction, and are not corrected within the specified timeframe are notified to the authors and eliminated from publication. Articles that receive a “publishable” rating from two referees are placed in the publication queue. Articles ready for publication are placed in the publication queue. The names of the referees and authors are mutually confidential and will not be disclosed in our journal. Every article that completes the refereeing process successfully will be published. Therefore, authors do not need to call to learn the status of their articles. All processes will be conducted through the Dergipark evaluation system.

The scientific and legal responsibility of the articles belongs to the author.
