The manuscripts submitted for publication are subjected to PRE-CONTROL, PRE-CLASSIFICATION, REVIEWER EVALUATION and TURKISH-ENGLISH LANGUAGE CHECK. The manuscript that is examined three times at the Pre-Check stage but fails to pass this process is returned to the author and is not processed again in the same publication period. The manuscripts that pass the Preliminary Control stage are included in the evaluation process in which at least two referees take part within the framework of the principle of double blind refereeing.
Articles submitted for publication are subjected to double blind peer review by at least two referees. In addition, a special plagiarism detection programme is used to confirm that the articles have not been published before and do not contain plagiarism. Submitted manuscripts must be checked by Turnitin. The rate should not exceed 20%.
After the manuscript is submitted to the Journal for publication, none of the authors' names can be deleted from the list of authors without the written permission of all authors, and a new name cannot be added as an author and the order of authors cannot be changed.
Information such as the author's name, title, institution, and e-mail address should not be included under the title of the article. Since author names can be seen by the system administrator, this information will be added to the manuscript by the editor. When the manuscripts are added to the system, it should be ensured that no information belonging to the author is included in the manuscript. This is important in order to allow the referees who will review the article to move more easily.
