A bit about me…
I am the Director of Operations at AVES, an independent publisher based in Turkey that provides publication services to academic journals owned by universities and learned societies. I joined the company in 2011 as a Project Coordinator and became a Publications Coordinator in 2012, managing the day-to-day operations of several medical journals.
In 2014 I became the company’s Publications Director and was responsible for publishing the entire journal portfolio, which included over 100 journals over a six-year period. During my time as the Publications Director, I worked with societies, universities, and journal editors in launching and developing journals as well as shaping their editorial strategies.
I was elected to EASE Council in June 2021 and I am an active member of the Turkish Regional Chapter. In 2023 I was the local organiser host for the 17th EASE Conference ‘Quality Science Publishing‘. I am also on the Organising Committee of the 18th EASE Conference to be held in 2025, with special responsibilities for sponsorship and industry partners. I sit on the Membership Committee.
