Publications & Recordings
Publications & Recordings
Written and Visual Dissemination Policy: In order to integrate scholarly knowledge into the permanent academic record and enable researchers to retrospectively access deliberations and feedback during peer-review and revision stages, conference presentations are published not only as written texts (abstracts, full-text papers, or articles) within the DOI-assigned and ISSN/e-ISBN registered Proceedings of ICIJS series kitap.icijs.israiliyat.com, but also as video recordings tv.icijs.israiliyat.com via the conference's official YouTube channel, thereby preserving presentation dynamics, deliberations, and Q&A contributions.
PUBLICATION
The publication process of the conference papers consists of three stages:
(i) Publication of abstracts and full-text proceedings in the Conference Proceedings and Abstract Book (with an SSN / e-ISBN),
(ii) Publication of research and revew articles that successfully pass the peer-review process in the journal İsrailiyat,
(iii) Publication of accepted papers as chapters in an edited international book, subject to the availability of a sufficient number of qualified submissions.
Proceeding and Abstract Book
Publication Modes and Dissemination Formats: Conference proceedings are made available in two distinct formats: via the OJS platform as standalone landing pages and separate PDF files for each individual work, and within the proceedings book as a single, comprehensive edited volume aggregating all contributions.
Dedicated Landing Pages and Metadata Access in the Conference System: Within the journal management system, a distinct landing page is assigned to each individual abstract or full-text paper, detailing bibliographic metadata, authorship, citation formats, and direct download links.
Compiled Proceedings Volume and Monographic Structure: The compiled book of abstracts and proceedings is formed by consolidating the individual files hosted on the journal management system into a single volume. To present the contributions in a unified structure, full-text papers and abstracts are compiled under separate main sections and arranged alphabetically by author surname. In addition, contextual and institutional information regarding the conference and the field of study is provided in both English and Turkish within the corresponding introductory sections.
PDF Navigation, Structural Architecture, and Direct Page Linking: To facilitate in-document accessibility and structural navigation, the document hierarchy is mapped to digital bookmarks and an interactive table of contents, enabling direct section navigation via the "Bookmarks" panel in Acrobat Reader (or "Document Outline" in web browsers); accordingly, when citing a specific paper or target page within the proceedings volume, the #page=[page number] parameter should be appended to the URL to enable direct navigation.
Journal / Edited Book
Article Formats, Originality, and Expansion Standards: Submitted manuscripts may represent expanded and revised versions of previously presented extended abstracts or full-text papers, or they may be drafted entirely from scratch as independent studies aligned with the conference scope. Submissions must be 4,000 to 10,000 words in length and prepared either as an original "Research Article" (founded on a clear hypothesis and primary/secondary data analysis) or as a "Review Article" (critically synthesizing the relevant literature and scholarly debates). If the study has previously appeared in the conference abstract or proceedings volume, it must be expanded and deepened by at least 50% in theoretical depth, empirical data, and scholarly discussion to qualify for peer review as an article.
Journal and Edited Volume Publication Process: Manuscripts that successfully pass the peer-review process are considered for publication primarily in İsrailiyat as well as in other affiliated peer-reviewed journals represented on our editorial boards; alternatively, provided that a sufficient number of qualified manuscripts is attained, they may be published as book chapters within an international edited volume. Although academic journals (ISSN) and edited volumes (e-ISBN) represent distinct bibliographic publication channels, both venues maintain identical standards regarding rigorous double-blind peer review, scholarly depth, formatting guidelines, and academic ethics.
Edited Book
Detailed information and updated implementation guidelines regarding this matter will be announced in forthcoming issues and official notices of the journal.
1. 1. Recordings
Presentation Recording and Video Dissemination Consent: Since participants give prior consent to the conference terms via the mandatory submission checklist during application and registration, no separate written authorization is solicited. Accordingly, all sessions are live-streamed, simultaneously recorded, and subsequently published within the ICIJS’26 playlist on the official YouTube channel tv.icijs.israiliyat.com.
Session Recording Workflow and Digital Archival Infrastructure: Rather than storing recordings locally on personal devices and transferring them manually, all online/hybrid sessions are recorded directly into Google Drive cloud storage (Meet Recordings) via Google Meet to eliminate data loss, ensure operational efficiency, and guarantee immediate, high-definition cloud archiving. By confirming the mandatory submission checklist during registration, participants grant prior consent for this workflow; archived sessions are subsequently reviewed and published within the ICIJS’26 playlist on the conference's official YouTube channel tv.icijs.israiliyat.com.
Video Visibility Settings and Privacy Policy: Uploaded session recordings are published on the Israiliyat TV YouTube channel under the "Unlisted" status, accessible only to those possessing the direct URL (neither fully "Public" nor "Private"). Consequently, the video is excluded from search results, channel homepages, subscriber feeds, and algorithmic recommendations, with comments disabled; it can only be accessed and viewed via dedicated conference proceedings pages, program schedules, or direct URL links.
Webpage Embedding and Indexing Policy: Session recordings are scheduled to be embedded directly into the conference web pages and relevant paper landing pages. This architecture ensures that the presentation is indexed by search engines (e.g., Google) through the hosting conference webpage rather than via YouTube internal searches. As the video remains "Unlisted" on YouTube, it can only be accessed, viewed, or shared by researchers visiting the conference website or possessing the direct URL link.
Dissemination of Session Links: Video URL links for all sessions will be shared directly with all conference participants and board members to ensure continuous academic engagement and scholarly discourse.
Requests for Web Embedding Opt-Out: As sessions are recorded and disseminated as single, comprehensive video files rather than discrete presentations, an opt-out request from web embedding directly affects all other presenters within that panel; therefore, removal requests can only be processed if submitted with the unanimous written consent of all speakers participating in the session.
Exceptional Circumstances and Segment Removal Requests: Presenters requesting an exemption from having their presentation uploaded to YouTube—due to factual rectifications, intellectual property concerns, or non-disclosure of sensitive data—must submit their request in writing via email. Subject to the decision of the Organizing Committee, the specific segment containing the presentation will be redacted from the session video, and the remaining portion of the session will be published accordingly.
Video Links and Sharing Terms:
Session recordings of the conference will be hosted as unlisted videos on the tv.israiliyat.com YouTube channel. Videos can be shared by clicking the Share button beneath the player and selecting the starting timestamp, or by manually appending the time parameter to the video URL (for short YouTube URLs: /?t=#h#m#s /?t=120s,; for standard YouTube URLs: &t=#h#m#s). Speakers may directly share links starting at their designated presentation times or extract and download their specific segments for personal archives using third-party video tools (such as ytcutter.com, etc.). The organization assumes no responsibility for external sharing or embedding of session links by participants.
Chaptering: In session videos uploaded to YouTube, chapter markers will be included in the progress bar for each presentation. When creating video chapters, markers may simply be placed at the exact moments speakers begin their presentations. Additionally, distinct chapter markers can also be assigned to the session chair's remarks and Q&A segments
Timestamp Submission: To assist with video editing and chapter markers, please email the start and end times of your presentation—along with any relevant Q&A segments—to info@israiliyat.com.
Google Meet Live Stream and Recording Layout Limitations:
Screen layouts during Google Meet recordings and live streams are automatically managed by the system. Individual layout preferences selected on participants' screens (such as tiled view or sidebar) are not reflected in the recording or broadcast. In recorded sessions and streams, only the active speaker is captured in full screen when no content is being shared; recording all participants simultaneously in a tiled grid is not supported. When a screen is shared, the shared content occupies the main view while active speakers are automatically placed in a sidebar by the platform.
Utilizing Video Recordings for Manuscript Revisions: When finalizing abstract submissions or full-text manuscripts, authors may refer to the recorded presentations and discussions available in the conference's respective YouTube playlist for that year.
