Ceride: Journal of Ego-Document Studies is the world’s first academic journal dedicated to the study of ego-documents. The scope of the journal consists of those sources referred to as “ego-documents” or “self-narratives” in English (as “ben-anlatıları,” “özyaşamsal öyküler” and “birinci ağızdan anlatılar” in Turkish ) such as diary, memoir, autobiography, and private letters.
The journal aims to contribute to the scientific community by publishing original and pioneering articles of high-quality while complying with international publication standards. Ceride is primarily a journal of historical studies and prioritize articles written from a historical perspective; however, it takes an interdisciplinary approach and encourages the perspectives from other branches of social sciences and humanities.
The journal publishes original articles written in Turkish or English, focusing on ego-documents regardless of the historical periods and geographical boundaries in which they were produced. Ceride is a peer reviewed international journal that publishes research articles and translated articles, as well as original archival documents, research notes, reviews and meeting reports. The journal is published twice a year, in June and December.
Ceride aims to contribute to the development of the scientific and intellectual knowledge by adopting an open access policy as an ethical principle.
