Scientific Research and Publication Ethics

Actions Contrary to Scientific Research and Publication Ethics:
• Plagiarism: Presenting others' ideas, methods, data, applications, writings, figures or works as one's own work, partially or completely, without citing their owners in accordance with scientific rules.
• Forgery: Producing data that is not based on research, editing or changing a presented or published work based on false data, reporting or publishing these, presenting a research that has not been done as if it has been done.
• 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 in accordance 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.
• Re-Publication: Presenting more than one work containing the same results of a research as separate works in associate professorship exam evaluations and academic promotions.
• Slicing: Presenting the results of a research in a way that disrupts the integrity of the research, inappropriately dividing it into pieces and without citing each other, presenting them as separate works in evaluations for associate professorship exams and academic promotions by publishing.
• 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, removing the names of those who have active contribution from the work during publication or in subsequent editions, using one's influence to have one's name included among the authors even though one has no active contribution.
