Ethical Principles and Publication Policy
Publication Ethics
The governance structure of JARNAS and its acceptance procedures are transparent and designed to ensure the highest quality of published material. Journal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences adheres to the TR Index Principles of Ethics and the international standards developed by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
In situations such as manipulating and distorting the data used in the articles and using make-up data are detected, this situation will be officially reported to the institutions of the author(s), and the manuscript will be rejected.

Notification of the Editor for the Unethical Cases
In case of encountering an unethical case regarding editors, referees, and authors or the manuscript in an early view or in the review process that does not comply with ethical principles, it should be reported to jarnas.journal@gmail.comm e-mail address.
Publisher’s Ethical Responsibilities
Journal of Advanced Research in Natural and Applied Sciences is in the public interest and is non-profit.
Editors are faculty members who hold at least a doctorate.
Editorial Board consists of an Editor-in-Chief, Editors, Section Editors, a Statistics Editor, Language Editors, Layout Editors, and Production Editors.
In reviewing a paper in which Editors are Co-Authors, an Editor is assigned among the other Editors of JARNAS who do not have any conflict of interest with Authors. The peer review is carried out like that of other papers. In a year, the number of articles in which Editors are its Authors/Co-Authors cannot exceed 1/5 of the total articles published in the respective year.
