Research Article/Araştırma Makalesi

Trakya University Journal of Natural Sciences (TUJNS) publishes studies with strong scientific content in fields of Biology, Biotechnology, Environmental Sciences, Biochemistry, Biophysics, Fisheries Sciences, Agriculture, Veterinary and Animal Sciences, Forestry, Genetics, Food Sciences, Basic Medicine Sciences in order to make articles available to a wide range of scientists at international level. The journal provides researchers with a fast and fair environment to submit, improve and publish their studies. The journal is not only free of any kind of submission and publication charge but also it allows free online access to published articles.

Trakya University Journal of Natural Sciences (TUJNS) publishes experimental and theoretical contents in the form of research articles, short communications, technical notes, reviews, letters to the editor and book introductions in fields of Life Sciences. The main feature of publishing policy is the contribution to science. Studies for which no scientific contribution decision was reported by reviewers are not published.

PEER REVIEW PROCESS

All submissions uploaded to the manuscript evaluation system will be investigated in weekly meetings by the Editorial Board for the control of their scientific contents. Individual views of board members are received and the final decision on the submission is given by the Editor in chief. Submissions with scientific contents are assigned a section editor for further processes. Section editors send a manuscript as soon as possible to 2 reviewers with a PhD degree at the least for a review request. The reviewers are asked to inform the section editors in 7 days to inform the section editors about their decisions (accept or refuse to review) on the evaluation of the manuscripts. Section editors assign new reviewers for those who refuse the review request or who do not respond in 7 days. Reviewers accepting the manuscripts for evaluation complete their review tasks in 21 days and send their review reports to section editors with which they reject the manuscript or ask for a resubmission after revision. TUJNS applies a double-blind review process. Section editors make a decision considering the reviewers’ reports and inform the Editor-in-Chief. Then Editor-in-Chief gives the final decision about the manuscript and informs the author(s) about the decision.

ETHICAL GUIDELINES

All submissions to the Trakya University Journal of Natural Sciences should be original studies. The authors are encouraged to follow the ethical guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). All submissions undergo plagiarism control by the Editor using the web-based iThenticate program to confirm their originality as a natural necessity to keeping the rights of the authors and to meet the journal editorial responsibilities. The editor considers the report of the plagiarism control in terms of not only numerical values of the overlap but also in other ethical points that authors should pay attention to in citations and then makes a decision to move the manuscript in further evaluation steps or not.

AUTHORSHIP CRITERIA

Trakya University Journal of Natural Sciences follows the below authorship criteria of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) and every corresponding author should fill the Authorship contribution form based on these criteria of COPE.

Only persons who meet these authorship criteria should be listed as authors in the manuscript as they must be able to take public responsibility for the content:
    1. Made significant contributions to the conception, design, execution, data acquisition, or analysis/interpretation of the study,
    2. Drafted the manuscript or revised it critically for important intellectual content,
    3. Have seen and approved the final version of the paper and agreed to its submission for publication.

All persons who made substantial contributions to the work reported in the manuscript (such as technical help, writing and editing assistance, general support) but who do not meet the criteria for authorship must not be listed as an author, but should be acknowledged in the “Acknowledgements” section after their written permission to be named has been obtained. The corresponding author should ensure that all appropriate coauthors (according to the above definition) and no inappropriate co-authors are included in the author list and verify that all co-authors have seen and approved the final version of the manuscript and agreed to its submission for publication.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST

Trakya University Journal of Natural Sciences (TUJNS) accepts and follows the guidelines of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJJE) in case financial and non-financial relations and activities create a conflict of interest. In the conflict of interest, it is important that the participants (authors, referees, editors and journal staff) clearly state the effects in terms of providing financial gain as well as the effect made in terms of ensuring the well-being of patients or ensuring the validity of the research. The corresponding author who submits a manuscript to TUJNS has to upload the conflict of interest discloser form to the article submission section by having all authors sign it.

Authors are obliged to disclose in the TUJNS conflict of interest disclosure all relations and activities that may create bias with their work in the manuscript they submit to TUJNS.

Referees invited to evaluate a manuscript in TUJNS should decline the invitation to referee in case of any conflict of interest regarding the manuscript or authors. It is recommended that the reviewer contact and consult with the Editor in case of doubts about situations that may lead to a conflict of interest.

Journal employees can publish manuscripts in TUJNS. However, a limited number of manuscripts can be accepted in an issue. In studies accepted for evaluation, manuscript authors who are journal employees are excluded from all processes, and this is clearly stated at the end of the article in the conflict of interest section.
