Journal History
Foundation and Vision
Turkish Journal of Computer and Mathematics Education (TURCOMAT) was founded in 2009 with a clear mission: to bridge the gap between computer science research and mathematics education practices. Recognizing the need for a dedicated platform to address the complex challenges of integrating technology and mathematics education, a group of visionary scholars and practitioners came together to establish a journal that would not only publish high-quality research but also foster meaningful dialogue and collaboration among educators and researchers worldwide.
Commitment to Open Access
From its inception, TURCOMAT has been committed to open access, ensuring that all research is freely available to anyone, anywhere. This commitment is rooted in the belief that knowledge should be accessible to all, fostering greater dissemination and application of research findings. By adopting the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License (CC BY 4.0), we have empowered researchers to share their work widely and maximize its impact.
Technological Advancements
Embracing digital innovations, TURCOMAT has continuously improved its online platform to enhance user experience. The integration of advanced search functionalities, comprehensive archives, and user-friendly submission systems has streamlined access and submission processes for authors, reviewers, and readers alike. Our participation in LOCKSS and CLOCKSS ensures the long-term preservation and accessibility of our content.
Future Directions
Looking ahead, TURCOMAT remains committed to advancing the field of computer and mathematics education through the dissemination of high-quality research. We continue to innovate and adapt to the evolving needs of the education community, with plans to launch new initiatives, expand our digital footprint, and strengthen our global network of contributors and readers. Our dedication to excellence, accessibility, and ethical publishing will guide our journey forward.
