Yeditepe University Press

Yeditepe Publishing was established in 2002. Since its founding it has earned a distinguished reputation in Türkiye’s academic publishing landscape through its publications in various fields of the social sciences, with history as its primary focus. The publisher’s fundamental principle is objectivity. Guided by this principle it aims to cultivate a readership that understands the past accurately, evaluates the present healthily, and looks toward the future with hope. Central to its publishing philosophy is the commitment to bringing to readers works prepared with academic rigor and meticulous care.

Publication Portfolio and Academic Contributions

A significant portion of the publisher’s catalog consists of scholarly monographs and critical editions. A substantial number of these works focus on Ottoman and Turkish history. Multi-volume histories of the Ottoman Empire by Johann Wilhelm Zinkeisen and Nicolae Iorga have been translated into Turkish; it has been announced that the forthcoming period will see the publication of a Turkish translation of Hammer’s History of the Ottoman Empire. In addition to history, the publisher also produces works in related disciplines such as archaeology and literature. To date, more than 600 history books have been published, and these works are listed in the catalogs of many prestigious universities.

International Publishing and Translated Works

Yeditepe Publishing does not limit itself to Turkish-language publications; it also publishes works by foreign authors and has gained international recognition through its titles translated into English, German, French, Arabic, Bosnian, Korean, Serbian, and Chinese. This international presence demonstrates that the publisher has become a respected actor in publishing not only at the national level but also on the global stage.

Publisher Structure and Expansion Initiatives

In 2004, Yeditepe Publishing expanded its publishing portfolio by establishing Ataç Yayınları. In 2019, it launched the Orenda Kitap imprint to publish books for young adults, personal development, and self-help. Its academic publications continue under the banner “Yeditepe Akademi.” Additionally, a direct-to-reader sales network has been created through the platform “Yeditepe Shop,” designed to connect the publisher directly with its audience. This dual approach ensures the publisher’s effectiveness in both academic and popular domains.

Memberships and Institutional Connections

Yeditepe Publishing is a member of the Publishers Association of Türkiye and the Turkish Publishers Union. These memberships enable the publisher to closely follow national and international publishing standards and contribute to sectoral developments. Indirectly affiliated with international publishers’ associations, it operates in accordance with principles of publishing freedom and ethical conduct.
