Ethical Principles and Publication Policy

ATAD is published electronically as a “Refereed Journal” on the ULAKBİM DergiPark platform, 2 issues per year.

Articles sent for publication in ATAD must not have been previously published or sent for publication elsewhere. Studies previously presented at congresses are accepted provided that this is stated. If the article includes some of the topics in a previously published article by the author(s), this must be stated and a copy of the previous article must be sent along with the new article.

All articles undergo a rigorous review process, including a scan by the Dergipark similarity program. The Editor or Editorial Board Member has the authority to ensure that only articles meeting our high publication standards are published. This may involve sending articles back to the author(s) for correction, editing them in format, or rejecting them. The Editor or Editorial Board Member then sends the article they deem appropriate to the advisor(s) for review. If necessary, corrections may be requested from the author(s). Requesting corrections from the author does not mean that the article will be published. These corrections must be completed and sent to the journal within 15 days at the latest. Otherwise, it will be evaluated as a new application. The responsible author will be informed whether the article has been accepted or rejected.

All works sent for publication in the journal are examined in the similarity program. This examination is conducted with fairness and transparency, ensuring that the plagiarism/similarity rate is at most 15%.

· The ethical, scientific, and legal responsibilities of the articles published in the journal are of utmost importance. They belong to the author(s) and do not reflect the opinions of the Editor and Editorial Board members. This commitment ensures the integrity and quality of our publication.

· Whether accepted for publication in the journal or not, the writing material is not returned to the authors. No royalties are paid for articles published in the journal.
