Publications 

Written and Visual Publication Policy: Congress papers will be published in two forms: as written texts on kocak.konyadergisi.net (assigned with a DOI and registered with an ISSN/e-ISBN) and as video recordings of the presentations on tv.kocak.konyadergisi.net.

Publication Process: The publication of congress papers will consist of three stages:

(i) Publication of abstracts,
(ii) Publication of full papers,
(iii) Publication of research and review articles—that have successfully completed the peer-review process—in the Journal of Konya Research.

Book of Abstracts and Papers

Congress papers will be made accessible in two distinct formats:

1) Individual pages and open-access PDF files (with DOIs) for each presented study.
2) A single-volume PDF book (with an ISBN) containing the extended abstracts and full-text papers.

On the congress website, a dedicated page is provided for each abstract or full-text paper, containing bibliographic information, author details, citation formats, and download links. Furthermore, these individual files will be compiled to form the "Book of Abstracts and Papers." Full texts and abstracts will be organized into separate main sections and arranged alphabetically by the authors' surnames.

Journal

Texts submitted for consideration as journal articles may be developed versions of the extended abstracts or full-text papers presented at the congress; alternatively, they may be independent studies written from scratch, specifically addressing the theme of the congress. To be published in the *Konya Araştırmaları Dergisi* (Journal of Konya Studies) following editor and peer review, authors must prepare either a research article—based on an original hypothesis and data analysis—or a review article that critically synthesizes the relevant literature. This manuscript must then be submitted to the Journal of Konya Research via the DergiPark platform.

Recordings
tv.kocak.konyadergisi.net

As researchers confirm their acceptance of the participation terms by completing the checklist provided during the symposium application and registration process, no separate written consent form is required for the recordings of presentations. In this context, all sessions will be broadcast live and recorded simultaneously; following the symposium, these recordings will be added to the "KOÇAK’26" playlist on the institutional YouTube channel (tv.kocak.konyadergisi.net) and made accessible.

All online/hybrid sessions will be recorded via Google Meet directly to Google Drive (Meet Recordings). These session recordings will be set to "Unlisted" status, meaning they will be accessible only to those who possess the specific link; they will not be private, nor will they be publicly searchable or visible to everyone. Consequently, the videos will not appear in search results, on the channel’s homepage, or in subscriber feeds; they will not be featured as recommended videos, and the comments section will be disabled. They can only be viewed by accessing the specific URL. To ensure the long-term preservation of the symposium’s academic discourse and collaborative dialogue, the video URLs for all sessions will be shared directly with all participants and committee members.

Requests for Video Removal: Since the sessions will be conducted in a panel format, any request by a participant to withhold the publication of their presentation video will affect all other participants in the same session. Therefore, such requests must be submitted with the collective written consent of all speakers in the relevant session.
