The objectives of the Publications Department are as follows:

Establish an Academic Publications Advisory Board within the Department to determine the academic publications to be addressed, acquire publication rights, and organize translation, editing, and preparation for printing processes.
Follow the necessary processes related to the translation into different languages of scientific studies prepared by the Institute’s academics or scientific publications suggested by the Academic Publications Advisory Board.

Ensure the printing and publication of scientific publications such as articles, research reports, project evaluation reports, and books prepared by the Institute’s academics.
Provide academic consulting services for processes such as article preparation, symposium-congress texts, and publishing in journals, especially for postgraduate students, young academics, or independent researchers.
To participate in other studies offered by the Education and Research Institute.

The Publications Department has been established to conduct academic publishing activities that shed light on the future and keep a record of current events, with a working discipline determined by the IDEIS Education and Research Institute, primarily in areas such as religious education, moral-value education, and educational sciences. The Department aims to select all kinds of publications related to the Institute’s targeted work, to prepare the infrastructure, to make academic periodical and non-periodical publications, to incorporate these publications within IDEIS, and to ensure the printing and publishing of studies prepared within its body.

The Education and Research Institute prioritizes academic publishing in articles, books, thematic publications, quantitative and qualitative research, symposium texts, and reports in fields such as radicalization, discrimination, Islamophobia, hate speech, migration-integration issues, and particularly in religious education, moral and value education, which are the needs of Muslim communities.
