Academic Music Journal Publishing ın Türkiye:A Field-Theoretical Analysis of Institutionalization, Symbolic Capital,and Editorial Structures

Summary/Abstract: This article examines music journal publishing in Türkiye through Pierre Bourdieu’s field theory. While briefly outlining developments since the nineteenth century, its primary analytical focus is the post-1980 period, marked by the institutionalization of academia and the rise of peer review culture. The article specifically traces post-2000 transformations driven by digitization, open access, and indexing systems, showing how standardized editorial workflows formalize relationships between journals and symbolic capital. It conceptualizes editorial networking as a field-level practice through which language policy, reviewer mobility, and networked authorship operate as instruments of internationalization.
