Peer Review Process

Manuscripts submitted to Ankara Üniversitesi SBF Dergisi will be sent to two referees after the initial evaluation by the Editorial Board. The Editorial Board will decide to accept, revise, reject, or send the manuscript to a third referee in line with the referee reports. The author will be notified of the decision as soon as possible.

If a revision is requested from the author, the manuscript must be revised within 2 months and sent to the Editorial Board.

The Editorial Board of Ankara Üniversitesi SBF Dergisi is collectively responsible for the acceptance decision of the submitted manuscripts. The Editorial Board promotes academic honesty in line with the Principles of Transparency and Best Practices in Academic Publishing as defined by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

The Editorial Board reserves the right to withdraw the articles when the author violates the ethical rules during the publication process and when a high similarity rate is found in the iThenticate plagiarism prevention software scan.

Being included in the double blind peer review process does not mean a publication commitment. The Editorial Board makes the final decision even if the referee process is positive for the publication.

Responsibilities of the Editorial Board

The Editorial Board includes an editor and three co-editors. The Editorial Board ensures that the evaluation process of the submitted articles is carried out and that the journal is published at regular intervals.

The evaluation process starts with the initial review of the Editorial Board. At this stage, the first evaluation is made about whether the article is in the scope of the journal's publication areas, its suitability for international readers, and its compliance with journal publication principles.

A member of the Editorial Board or Associate Editors monitors the evaluation process of the manuscript. This stage includes an evaluation process regarding the article's suitability for peer-review. In the following stage, the peer-review process starts. Referee reports should be comprehensive and should include constructive feedback.

After both referees find the manuscript suitable for publication, format and spelling rules are examined and the preparation process for publication operates. Articles suitable for publication are included in the publication order according to the acceptance date. Authors can request information about the process at any stage.

The Editorial Board provides solutions to prevent problems that may arise during the preparation and publication of the journal.

The Editorial Board periodically calls for the meetings of Associate Editors and the Advisory Board, compiles the opinions, and supports Associate Editors and the Advisory Board in the development of the journal's publication policy.

Responsibilities of Authors

Authors should apply to our journal with their original work. Authors should not submit the same manuscript to the double blind peer review process of more than one journal at the same time. Authors may be asked to provide research data supporting their work for Editorial Board review and/or to comply with the journal's open data requirements. The Editorial Board reserves the right to withdraw the author's article until the publication decision is made, provided that it is notified to Associate Editors.

Responsibilities of Referees

Ankara Üniversitesi SBF Dergisi adheres to a double-blind peer-review process, in which identities of the author and referees are kept anonymous. Reviewers should be mindful of potential ethical issues in the manuscript and bring them to the editor's attention. This includes substantive similarity and overlap between the manuscript in the review process and any other published work that the reviewer is aware of.
