MESSAGE FROM THE COORDINATOR

Dear Editor, Researcher, Member, Author, Reviewer, Follower, Leader, Illustrator, Thinker, Student, Reader, Traveler, Host,

Before beginning, I would like to address those who may question why this list of addressees is so long. Yes, I intentionally kept the list long—because publishing is an activity carried out within an exceptionally wide spectrum, and you must consider all of your stakeholders. Even a passerby on the street can, in some way, become part of your work. It is true that not all of these groups are in direct contact with us at this moment. But it should be known that, as a Coordination Office, we take all of them—and even more—into account with full sincerity, as required by our mission.

To speak directly: MAU stands as the most recent stop of an ancient journey of wisdom. This institution continues to value all of its stakeholders without exception. Through MAU Press and our various book and journal publications, we constantly stand before our audiences—indeed, in their presence. Our sincere endeavor is to offer them the refined tranquility of knowledge distilled through the filter of tradition. With every passing day, we produce more qualified works and continue to move forward on this path.

In line with our publishing policy, we proceed without compromising on quality, without closing our ears to society, and by valuing the community with which we interact. We try to understand the city through the neighborhood, the distant through the near, the universal through the local. Each new day brings us the joy of adding one more drop to the vast vessel of wisdom.

FOLLOWING OUR JOURNALS — “OUR JOURNALS, OUR CONNECTION”

Dear Host, Follower, Traveler,

MAU BİLKOR is launching a campaign to follow the academic journals published under MAU Press.

Thus, we strive to become among the most-followed journal groups in our academic sphere.

OUR JOURNAL REPORT CARD

Dear Researcher, Reader, Author,

In the international world of scholarly publishing, our journals are still considered “NEW.”
We have a long road ahead, much work to do, and limited time.
This responsibility belongs to all of us.
If each of us—including you—carries part of this load, we will reach excellent levels.

We believe this—and we trust your support.

CITE, BE CITED, STAY WITH US

Dear Researcher, Editor, Reviewer, Thinker, Author,

Journals are fortresses of academia, contemplation, and free thought.
One of the most important elements that strengthen journals is the valuable citations their articles receive.

Prestigious journals are also those that receive the highest number of citations.
A journal that gains recognition in academia quickly rises to the forefront.

To achieve this, we sincerely expect you to:

Cite at least one article published in our journals,

Cite our authors, follow them, and engage with them,

Encourage other scholars—based on academic reasoning—to cite our journals,

Strive for more qualified articles to be published in our journals,

Use data produced in our publications in your academic work.
