Dear İstinye Family,

Web of Science “JCR 2025 Quartile” values have been published.

TÜBİTAK takes WOS-JCR-JIF values into account in its Open Access agreements in accordance with TÜBİTAK criteria.  Therefore, we are sharing below the information provided by TÜBİTAK regarding the lists of funded journals.

The “List of Funded Open Access Journals” on the EKUAL website, which includes the JCR/2024 values, will remain valid until December 31, 2026; as of January 1, 2027, this list will become invalid and will be removed from our website. Article submissions received by TÜBİTAK on or after January 1, 2027, will be evaluated solely based on the JCR/2025 values mentioned below.

“Funded AE Journal Lists” containing the JCR/2025 values, which have not yet been added to the EKUAL website: Until these lists are added to our website, the “Q” values of the journals will be verified using the JCR database, and this list will remain valid until December 31, 2027.

If you have any questions, requests, or suggestions, please contact us at kutuphane@istinye.edu.tr.
