SCOPE


The Artuklu KAİME Journal was initiated by the Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences at Mardin Artuklu University in 2018. It is an international peer-reviewed journal published twice a year (in May and November).
The journal includes original studies reflecting an analytical perspective on issues concerning economics, politics, management, and business. Within this framework, publications by academics conducting research in both economic and administrative fields will be featured, as well as interdisciplinary research in the field of social sciences.
Articles written in Turkish and English are accepted for publication in the journal. If publications in languages other than Turkish or English are desired, the submission will be subject to evaluation by the editorial board. There is no obstacle to the publication of works deemed suitable for publication following the editorial board's evaluation. The responsibility for the content of the published articles lies entirely with the authors. Upon acceptance for publication in the journal, all publication rights of the article belong to the journal.
The Artuklu Kaime International Journal of Economic and Administrative Studies is open access and is electronically published after review by referees. Authors and readers are not charged any fees. Submitted articles must not have been previously published or be under consideration for publication in another journal's review and publication process.
All articles submitted to the journal are subjected to preliminary evaluation by the Editorial Board/Editorial Office according to scientific criteria before being sent to referees. Works subjected to preliminary evaluation are either returned to the author with an evaluation form or sent to referees for evaluation.
Accepted articles are sent to referees by the editor/editorial assistant. The Artuklu kaime journal follows a "double-blind peer review" process. In the double-blind review method, the manuscript is sent to two referees who are experts in the field. Each referee is asked to prepare an evaluation form for the manuscript.

If there is a difference of opinion between the referees, the manuscript is sent to a third referee. If at least two referees provide positive opinions, the work is considered suitable for publication; otherwise, it is returned to the author.

Submitted papers undergo plagiarism detection using plagiarism detection software. If the similarity rate in the entire paper exceeds 20% or if the similarity rate from the same source exceeds 3%, the paper is rejected during the preliminary evaluation stage and returned to the author.
During submission, the paper should not contain any information about the authors. This information will be requested in later stages.
All authors intending to publish in our journal must have an ORCID number.
The evaluation process for submitted papers takes approximately one month, depending on the referees' evaluation process.
Our journal evaluates papers through a three-stage process: initial review, peer review, and editing. During the initial review stage, papers are evaluated for compliance with the journal's writing rules, publication policies, and accepted areas of study. Papers that do not meet these criteria or exceed the similarity rate mentioned above are rejected during the initial review stage and returned to the author(s).

Our journal employs a double-blind peer review process. Papers submitted to our journal are sent to two separate referees who are experts in the field. Papers with positive evaluations from both referees are accepted for publication. For papers with one positive and one negative evaluation, a third referee is assigned for evaluation. If the third referee provides a positive evaluation, the paper is deemed suitable for publication. If both referees provide negative evaluations, the paper is rejected without the need for a third referee, and the author is notified accordingly. To ensure objective evaluation criteria, referees are not informed about the authors, and authors are not informed about the referees.

Papers with positive evaluations from both referees are notified to the authors as accepted for publication, and authors are requested for final revisions before being scheduled for publication in the next issue.
