TOJET

TOJET – The Turkish Online Journal of Educational Technology

TOJET is an international, nonprofit, open-access electronic journal dedicated to the field of educational technology. It serves as a professional platform for scholars, researchers, and practitioners involved in the management and use of information resources in higher education institutions.

Anyone in the profession is welcome to submit unsolicited manuscripts for publication consideration. Submissions undergo a rigorous peer-review process, and selected articles are published quarterly—in January, April, July, and October.

TOJET is indexed in internationally recognized academic databases such as ERIC and AERA SEG, ensuring wide visibility and academic credibility for authors.

As a full-time Professor at Sakarya University, I am proud to support TOJET. In recognition of the journal’s academic value, Sakarya University has committed to archiving all issues of TOJET for a minimum of ten years. This institutional partnership significantly enhances the preservation, accessibility, and long-term impact of educational research published in the journal.
