Journals

The Journal of Service Management Research (SMR) is a forum for academic dialogue among researchers from various business disciplines focusing on services. The journal provides critical accounts of the latest developments in key areas of service research. SMR explicitly pursues an interdisciplinary research agenda.

Articles are published that comprehensively discuss economic topics related to service research. Contributions from disciplines other than management – engineering, psychology, economics – are explicitly encouraged, as long as they address economic topics.

SMR also publishes articles with specific European relevance, e.g. articles on service industries and sectors, which are particularly widespread in Europe.

Both conceptual theoretical and empirical papers are represented in the SMR. The intention is to achieve a balance between the different types of contributions. The same applies to contributions on basic research and applied science.

Culture, Practice and Europeanization (CPE) is an open access peer reviewed platform for publishing research-based articles predominantly dealing with research into the multiplicity of social processes, interactions, and policies relating to Europeanization and international encounters in Europe. Perspectives may be interdisciplinary. Empirical, theoretical and conceptual texts of significant originality will be considered for publication. CPE publishes foremost full-length original articles, but will also consider original reviews, conference speeches, and notes in order to inform the research community of most recent developments. CPE welcomes contributions that seek to enhance understanding of social processes relating to internationalization and further trans-national activities and processes in Europe.

Diyâr is an interdisciplinary and interregional academic journal edited by the Society of Turkic, Ottoman and Turkish Studies (GTOT). It deals with Turkey, the Ottoman Empire and its successor states, Iran, Central Asia and the Caucasus. It also publishes research on the languages, cultures and history of various Turkic and Iranian­-speaking groups, dynasties and states as well as of other ethnolinguistic and religious groups living in these countries until the present day.

Diyâr publishes original and as yet unpublished contributions from the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences with emphasis on the fields of history, literary studies, sociolinguistics, political science, sociology, economics, cultural anthropology/ethnology, religious studies, music studies, cultural geography, education and law.

Through its focused content and high peer-review standards, Diyâr intends to be a leading international academic periodical on Turkic and Iranian research.

As of 2020, Diyâr will be published by Ergon (part of Nomos Verlagsgesellschaft) twice a year and will contain research articles and reviews. Guest editors will be responsible for conducting scholarly debates on specific topics in special issues. At least every third issue will have such a thematic focus. Our aim is to engage as guest editors not only renowned academics but also outstanding young, up-and-coming researchers. Diyâr accepts contributions written in German, English and French.

Further information for example regarding the author guidelines and peer review process of Diyâr is available at www.nomos.de/zeitschriften/diyar.

RuZ - Recht und Zugang addresses all legal issues related to accessing digital collections, whether these may be libraries, museums or archives. The topics are almost unlimited and range from copyright to data protection law to labour law. Practical relevance is crucial : What requirements must be met in order to make digital content publicly accessible? What needs to be considered when collections want to digitize their holdings? Who is responsible for ensuring that the legal requirements are met? After all, it's about communication, because the most beautiful and important collections remain useless, if no one looks at them and nobody talks about them.

Recht und Zugang not only aspires to look at collections in their entirety - from the municipal art library to the world-famous museum, but also to set the scene in which collections acquire their contents and process them in such a way that they are perceived and used. Recht und Zugang aims at the institutions themselves, ie at museums, archives and libraries, but also informs advisors who support collections in fulfilling their tasks. The journal’s aim is also reflected in the editorial board, which consists of experts who work in and for collections and assist those on a daily basis.

Recht und Zugang is currently published with two issues a year and aspires to be as open as possible. The contributions are available in the Nomos eLibrary, published under a CC-BY-SA license.

About the Journal

The scientific journal Morals & Machines addresses the question of how algorithms in general and artificial intelligence (AI) especially change society, the economy and the working world, the media, the healthcare system, technology, language, gender relations, and art and culture in a pluralistic manner. It investigates the questions of which ethical risks arise from general and artificial intelligence, what potential they offer and what challenges they pose to legal systems worldwide in relation to technological applications, robotics and the integration of AI. The journal examines these questions from an interdisciplinary, global and critical perspective at the interface between the humanities, social science, law and computer science.
