Ethics Rule Approval
Following the changes made in TR Index Journal Evaluation Criteria for 2020, “Ethics Committee Approval” is requested for articles in all branches of science including social sciences. Therefore, “Ethics Committee Approval” must be obtained from all studies sent to our journal. Studies without ethics committee approval will not be included in the evaluation process.
As the Adıyaman University Journal of Educational Sciences, we aim to maintain the highest level of academic originality and quality in every study we publish. To protect your work and expedite the evaluation process, we ask that you pay attention to the following points regarding similarity reports:
1. Preparing Your Similarity Report
Before uploading your article to the system, we kindly request that you configure the following settings in the report you will obtain via iThenticate or Turnitin:
Filters: Please exclude the "References" and "Citations" (text in quotation marks) sections from the report.
Sensitivity: Activate these filters to prevent very small matches (less than 5 words or less than 1%) from cluttering the report.
Scope: Ensure that the report includes the entire text of your article, from the title to the last sentence.
2. Expected Rates
As per academic practice, we expect your article's total similarity rate to be below 15%. Furthermore, it is critical for the originality of your work that similarities from a single source do not exceed 3%.
Note: If your work is derived from a thesis, it is natural for the report to have a high similarity score. In this case, please indicate the relevant thesis on the cover page; our editors will gladly take this into consideration.
3. Bilingual Publication and Translation Sensitivity
Since we publish our articles in both Turkish and English, the translation stage is very valuable to us.
After your article is accepted, you are required to submit a similarity report for the English text you will prepare.
At this stage, using the "Translated Matching" feature in iThenticate/Turnitin settings is mandatory to document the compatibility of your work with international literature.
4. Use of Artificial Intelligence Tools
We respect your use of the opportunities offered by technology (ChatGPT, Gemini, etc.). However, in accordance with our principle of transparency;
If you have used these tools in the text creation, language correction, or data analysis stages, we kindly request that you briefly mention this in the Methods or Acknowledgments section of your article.
Extensive use of artificial intelligence, which is not declared and overshadows the originality of the article, may require ethical review.
5. About the Process
Reports that do not comply with the above standards or that appear complex due to incorrect settings are unfortunately returned to you without proceeding to the peer review process.
