Lectio Socialis
Lectio Socialis is a highly respected academic research journal that provides a platform for scholars to publish their work and share their findings with the global community. The journal is published by Assoc. Prof. Dr. Emrah Konuralp, a distinguished faculty member at Iğdır University in Turkey. The published articles are peer-reviewed, ensuring high quality and reliability as they are subjected to rigorous scrutiny by experts in their respective fields. Lectio Socialis focuses primarily on policy-relevant topics related to social sciences and other relevant disciplines, making it a valuable source of knowledge and information for policymakers, researchers, and students alike. The journal values both monodisciplinary and interdisciplinary research. Monodisciplinary research is focused on a single field of study, while interdisciplinary research integrates perspectives, theories, and methodologies from multiple disciplines to address a research question or problem. The journal publishes articles from various backgrounds, including textual, philosophical, social-scientific, and cultural studies. The areas of interest include political economy, state and society relations, ethnic conflicts, policy-making, agenda-setting, multilevel governance, democratization and civil society, social structures and integration, migration, sustainability and ecological issues, science and society, strategic planning, public policy analysis, issues of social policy, women's and gender studies. The editorial and advisory board members, along with the reviewers, are a distinguished group of scholars and experts who bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. They hail from diverse academic institutions across the globe, ensuring the highest possible level of academic rigor and integrity in the review process. Lectio Socialis has adopted an open-access policy, enabling unrestricted access to its content for anyone who wishes to access it. The journal believes that making research freely available to the public is vital in supporting a more extensive and global exchange of knowledge. In addition, the journal does not charge authors any fees for submitting or publishing their articles, ensuring that the dissemination of research findings is not hindered by financial barriers, and knowledge is freely accessible to everyone who needs it. Starting from Volume 5, the journal now provides a DOI (Digital Object Identifier) for each published article under the sponsorship of TUBITAK ULAKBIM. As academic publishing evolves, Lectio Socialis has transitioned to a digital-only format. The print ISSN (2602-2443) was discontinued in July 2022, and the journal now exclusively uses its e-ISSN (2602-2443) for digital publications.

Aim
Amaç ve Kapsam Lectio Socialis, a distinguished journal in the realm of social sciences, is committed to fostering a dynamic and autonomous platform where scholars and researchers hailing from diverse corners of the world can disseminate their scholarly works in English or Turkish. Our primary objectives encompass a multifaceted spectrum. Firstly, the journal is steadfast in its dedication to amplifying scholarly discourse and promoting intellectual exchange on a range of critical topics. These subjects encompass, but are not limited to, the crucial issues surrounding gender disparities, mainly focusing on the pervasive problem of violence against women. Furthermore, the journal is resolutely committed to shedding light on pressing global concerns, such as the imperative battle against climate change. A second cardinal objective of Lectio Socialis is to illuminate the intricate interplay between economic, political, and societal dynamics that underscore multifarious challenges. This extends to comprehensive examinations of poverty, deprivation, inequality, and the fundamental pursuit of social justice. Notably, our journal holds studies that incorporate a perceptive and incisive political economy framework in high regard. Lectio Socialis is committed to promoting rigorous scholarship that enhances our understanding of social sciences. Our goal is to contribute significantly to the advancement of "emancipatory" social sciences across the globe. We believe that social sciences can be a powerful tool for liberation, empowerment, and transformative change, particularly in challenging and overcoming the constraints of economic structures. Our focus is on breaking free from oppressive systems and fostering a more just and equitable society. Lectio Socialis invites a diverse range of scholarly contributions within its clearly defined scope. Our primary focus lies on original scientific research and review studies conducted within the social science disciplines. Specifically, these encompass Political Science, Public Administration, International Relations, and Economics. Moreover, our scope extends to embrace interdisciplinary studies, particularly those that bridge the gap between social sciences and humanities, including subjects like History, Philosophy, Anthropology, Sociology, and Psychology, when closely intertwined with social science themes. We appreciate the academic significance of research presented at congresses and, as such, we accept submissions of studies whose abstracts have previously been disseminated in such forums. In alignment with our commitment to fostering scholarly excellence, we prioritize research articles written in English, which exhibit a comprehensive and meticulous analysis, employing both qualitative and quantitative research methods. We also provide the opportunity for studies derived from master's theses or doctoral dissertations to be considered for publication. While submissions falling under this category are indeed welcome, we also value a wide array of scholarly contributions from various sources. To ensure the originality and unique contribution of content, submitted works should not have been previously published nor currently under review by another journal. In addition to original research articles and review papers, Lectio Socialis offers a platform for diverse content, including translations of articles, enlightening book reviews, and engaging interviews with esteemed scholars, all of which will be thoughtfully included when deemed appropriate. By adhering to these distinct parameters, Lectio Socialis maintains its commitment to enriching scholarly discourse within the fields of social sciences and humanities. Yayımlanma Ayları Ocak Temmuz
