In the reports they prepare, the referees can make a definite opinion about whether the study is published or not. However, the Editor / Editorial Board can make a decision based on the similar and opposite opinions of the referees evaluating the study. The Editor / Editorial Board does not look at the number of referees who accept or reject this issue, but the strength of the arguments of the referees or authors. The Editor / Editorial Board takes into account reports that include strong, justified proposals rather than reports with yes or no evaluation questions. The referee can see that his or her views are not fully reflected in the study after a study has been published. It is possible for other referees to have different opinions and the Editor / Editorial Board has also taken these opinions into consideration. In this case, at the request of the referee evaluating the study, the opinions of other referees can be sent to him if the Editorial Board approves.
