These literary studies can be in the field of folk literature, classical literature and contemporary literature.

Balkan Turks, their language and literature, unlike Turkish literature in other parts of the Turkic world, lack a certain state and academic support. At this point, Turkey, which has rich historical and cultural ties with the Balkan lands, has assumed an important role. In recent years, especially the increase in researches on Balkan Turks necessitates that these studies should be carried out at a certain academic level and within a scientific framework. BALTED (Studies on Turkish Language and Literature in the Balkans) is active in the field of Turkish language activities and literary productions of Balkan Turks. BALTED is a peer-reviewed, scientific publication established to support the studies in the field in question and to gain a scientific quality. It is published semi-annually (in January and July) and twice a year.
