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Diyâr publishes original and as yet unpublished contributions from the humanities, cultural studies and social sciences with emphasis on the fields of history, literary studies, sociolinguistics, political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.

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.

The journal Forum Islamic-Theological Studies is an international and interdisciplinary academic journal that aims to foster academic discourse and the conceptualisation of Islamic theology and religious teaching, in particular in a European context. Emphatically transcending denominations, multi-perspectival and geared towards stimulating discussion, the series endeavours—as a platform of exchange between traditional Islamic scholarship and positions and modern-day issues and approaches—to spark academic debates in not only the various sub-disciplines of Islamic theology, but also on topics relating to the sociology of religion and religious education that affect both ‘Islam’ and Muslims.

Because it is intended as an intra and interreligious medium, the journal Forum Islamic-Theological Studies welcomes contributions from related disciplines such as Islamic studies, religious studies, the sociology of religion and other theological fields. It also places particular emphasis on reflecting the diversity within Islam by allowing a variety of voices from different Islamic denominations or legal schools of thought to have their say.

Not only is the journal intended for the publication of original contributions from the established spectrum of academic disciplines relating to Islam, such as Quran studies and Quran exegesis, Hadith studies, standard teachings, mysticism, ethics and philosophy, systematic and discursive theology, religious education and teaching religion, but also new studies on the subjects of Christian education and pastoral care, Islam and plurality, the findings of interreligious research and analyses on Muslims and Islam in Europe from the sociology of religion.

The journal Forum Islamic-Theological Studies will appeal to not only academics and students from the fields of Islamic theology and religious education, but also to those from related disciplines, such as Oriental studies, Islamic studies or the sociology of religion, and to followers of other faiths. It also strives to appeal to the actors and functionaries of religious institutions, such as mosque associations, Muslim associations and Muslims’ representative bodies, as well as religious education teachers, teachers in general, schools and other educational institutions.

In addition to disseminating the findings of academic studies written in both German and English, the journal Forum Islamic-Theological Studies publishes reviews. Before they are published, each contribution undergoes a double-blind peer review, which is based on the principle of mutual anonymity.
