Alpha Journal of Engineering and Applied Sciences (AJEAS) accepts research articles, review articles and technical notes in Turkish or English.

Article Types

Research Article: Studies that reflect an original research with its findings and results.

Review Article: Studies that scan a sufficient number of scientific articles, summarize the subject at today's level of knowledge and technology, make an evaluation, and compare and interpret these findings.

Technical Brief: Studies that describe a new method or technique that explains the important findings of a study.

License Agreement

The “License Agreement and Author Declaration Form” must be completed and signed by all authors and submitted with each article. If the article is written in Turkish, the Turkish version of the form may be used. Articles without a signed License Agreement will not be processed.

Authors retain copyright and grant the journal a non-exclusive right of first publication under the Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0) license, which allows unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited.

Authors may deposit all versions of their article—including the preprint, accepted manuscript, and final published version—in any institutional or subject repository immediately upon publication. No embargo period is imposed.

Similarity Report

A similarity report (Turnitin, iThenticate, or intihal.net) must be uploaded during the first submission. The acceptable similarity rate is below 20%. Self-similarity (e.g., thesis, conference paper, or method reuse) is evaluated separately and not included in this rate.

The system automatically performs a similarity check through intihal.net for all submissions. However, in cases where this automated check cannot be completed due to system-related issues or technical interruptions, the journal reserves the right to request a similarity report directly from the authors.

Articles for which a similarity report cannot be obtained—either automatically or from the authors upon request—will be returned without processing.

Peer Review Process

Each submission undergoes a double-blind peer-review process.
- All manuscripts are evaluated by at least two independent external reviewers who are experts in the field.
- The Editor-in-Chief or the assigned Handling Editor makes the final decision based on the reviewers’ reports.
- The typical review period is 3–7 weeks, depending on reviewer availability.
- Articles accepted for publication are formatted and prepared for final presentation.
