The updated “DergiPark Participation Agreement,” revised in line with the enacted DergiPark policies, has been defined for the Coordinator of Scientific Publishing Panel of all journals.

• The agreements must be signed with an e-signature between July 24 and October 31, 2026.
• As of November 1, 2026, the issue publication and article submission pages for journals whose agreements have not been signed will be closed.

Points to Consider Before Signing

1. Authority Check: The authorization status of the person signing the agreement with an e-signature on DergiPark must exactly match the institutional authorization. Signatures from individuals who have not received formal authorization from their institution will not be accepted.
2. Publisher Type: Authorization steps and methods vary depending on the publisher type (University, Association, Foundation, Public Institution, etc.). To avoid disruptions, please be sure to review the current authorization steps appropriate for your publisher type.
3. Information Match: The Turkish ID (T.C. Kimlik) and first/last name information in the Coordinator of Scientific Publishing account must be the same as the information of the e-signature owner. If this information does not match, the agreement will be deemed invalid.
