Submission Stage

1. Submission of the Manuscript to AndHD via DergiPark

The author submits their manuscript through DergiPark in accordance with the AndHD Article Format. The full text file must be in “.doc” or “.docx” format. Additionally, the author must upload the Copyright License Form by selecting “Copyright Form” as the file type, and if the manuscript has multiple authors, they must upload the Contribution Statement Form in “.pdf” format by selecting “Author Contribution” as the file type. Uploading a similarity report is not required.

2. Assignment of the Editor by the Editor-in-Chief 

3. Assignment of the Co-Editor by the Editor

Preliminary Review Stage

4. Preliminary Format Review by the Co-Editor

The Co-Editor checks whether the manuscript has been uploaded in accordance with the submission rules and uploads a similarity report. If it is determined at this stage that the manuscript is not suitable for peer review, it is returned to the author upon the decision of the Editorial Board.

5. Copy and Language Review

To ensure compliance with AndHD’s Author Guidelines, the manuscript is first sent to a copy editor and then to a language editor. The copy editor reviews compliance with Author Guidelines—particularly citations and the bibliography. The language editor reviews the manuscript for grammar and spelling. Once the writing editor completes the review, they upload a file named “[Title of the Manuscript]-YE.” The language editor then reviews that same file and uploads “[Title of the Manuscript]-YDE.”

6. Sending the Manuscript to the Author 

After the copy and language review, the manuscript is sent to the author for necessary revisions. The author must make the required changes to the last uploaded file “[Title of the Manuscript]-YDE” within five days. To ensure that all suggestions made during the copy and language review are addressed, the author must respond to all changes using the “Review > Track Changes > Accept/Reject” options in Microsoft Word. The author must also review all comments added by the editors and delete any resolved comment boxes. The updated file is then uploaded, completing the revision.

Peer Review Stage

7. Assignment of Reviewers

The Co-Editor removes personal information from the document and uploads the file as “[Title of the Manuscript]-HV.” The manuscript is then assigned to reviewers. Reviewers have three days to accept the invitation via DergiPark and fifteen days to complete their review. A double-blind peer review process is followed.

8. Completion of Peer Reviews

Reviewers may recommend that the manuscript be accepted as is, revised, or rejected. 

9. Addressing Reviewer Feedback

Revisions must be made using the most recent uploaded file, titled “[Title of the Manuscript]-HV.” Reviewer recommendations must be incorporated into the manuscript, and if any suggestions are not adopted, the reasons must be clearly explained. The author must complete revisions within ten days for a minor revision and within fifteen days for a major revision. The updated file must be uploaded to complete the revision. If additional time is needed, a ten-day extension may be granted. If the revision is not submitted within the extended period, the Editorial Board may decide to return the manuscript to the author. If the manuscript requires re-evaluation by a reviewer, personal information is removed, and the file “[Title of the Manuscript]-HV2” is uploaded. The process then proceeds in accordance with the rules outlined in Article 8. If no further review is necessary, the manuscript is accepted progresses to the publication stage.

Publication Stage

10. Final Copy and Language Review

A final round of copy and language review is conducted for accepted manuscripts. After the copy review, the file “[Title of the Manuscript]-M1” is prepared. After the language review, the file “[Title of the Manuscript]-M2” is prepared and sent to the author.

11. Final Review by the Author and Preparation of Typeset File

If the file titled “[Title of the Manuscript]-M2” includes editorial suggestions, the author must revise the text in accordance with these recommendations and the editorial principles outlined in Article 6. The revised file, once finalized, constitutes the version to be sent for typesetting and is uploaded as “[Title of the Manuscript]-F.” As typesetting is conducted by an external provider, no additional changes by the author are possible after this stage. A DOI number is assigned during this process; however, due to DergiPark’s operational procedures, the DOI will become active only upon official publication.

12. Publication of the Manuscript

Once typesetting is completed, the final version of the manuscript is published through DergiPark. Depending on editorial planning considerations—such as the diversity and thematic relevance of other works within the issue—the manuscript may be scheduled for publication in a subsequent issue.
