The publication of an article in a refereed journal is a necessary foundation stone in the development of a harmonious and respected information network. This is a direct reflection of the quality of the work of the authors and the institutions that support them. Peer-reviewed articles support and shape scientific methods. Therefore, it is important for all parties involved in the publication, the author, journal editor, referee and publishing institutions to agree on the standards of expected ethical behavior:
1. Authorship
- The reference list must be complete.
- Plagiarism and fake data should not be included.

- The same research should not be attempted to be published in more than one journal, and scientific research and publication ethics should be followed.

- Actions that are against scientific research and publication ethics are as follows:
a. Plagiarism: Presenting the ideas, methods, data, applications, writings, figures or works of others as one's own work, partially or completely, without citing their owners in accordance with scientific rules,
b. Forgery: Producing data not based on research, editing or changing the presented or published work based on false data, reporting or publishing these, presenting a research that has not been conducted as if it has been conducted,
c. Distortion: Falsifying research records and obtained data, presenting methods, devices and materials that were not used in the research as if they were used, not evaluating data that is not compatible with the research hypothesis, tampering with data and/or results to fit the relevant theory or assumptions, falsifying or shaping research results in line with the interests of persons and organizations receiving support,
ç. Re-publication: Presenting multiple works containing the same results of a research as separate works in associate professorship exam evaluations and academic promotions,
d. Slicing: Presenting the results of a research as separate works in associate professorship exam evaluations and academic promotions by dividing them into parts in an inappropriate manner that disrupts the integrity of the research and by publishing multiple publications without citing each other,
e. Unfair authorship: Including people who have no active contribution among the authors, not including people who have active contribution among the authors, changing the author order in an unjustified and inappropriate manner, omitting the names of those who have active contribution during publication.
