Journal Policy

Studies sent to our journal are sent to at least two referees and their names are kept confidential from each other.

No fee is charged for the studies sent to the journal (free for fee).

Number-based articles are not accepted in our journal. The reason why the article is not accepted for the issue is the variability that may occur in the duration of the evaluation processes.

Article acceptance continues. The articles accepted as a result of the referee processes are put in the queue for the first issue to be published.

In our magazine, which is published as 4 issues annually; Issues are published on the 30th day of March, June, September and December. The evaluation process for the works uploaded to the system in the last 15 days of the relevant months is started after the issue is published.

In our journal, the pre-control and referee assignment period takes place within an average of 7-10 days. After the referee process starts, the referees have a 15-day invitation period and a 30-day evaluation period. Since this process may vary according to the referees, it is not possible to give precise information about whether the work you will submit will be able to catch up with the numbers whose article acceptance is ongoing.

The correction period given to the authors is 15 days, and the works that are not requested for corrections within this period will be rejected. An extension period can be added for this period if the editors are consulted. Authors can withdraw their work only during the pre-check phase. In other cases, if peer-review processes have been initiated, studies can only be returned by the editors.

Our journal has adopted the Open Access Policy and serves only in Dergipark.

The copyright of the works sent to our journal must be transferred to our journal.
