Evaluation Principles
1) Manuscripts that have not been previously published or are not currently under review for publication in another journal and approved by each author are accepted for evaluation.
2) Submitted and pre-checked articles are scanned for plagiarism using Intihal.net software. Articles with a similarity rate of 15% or less are accepted.
3) Our journal conducts a double blind review process. All manuscripts will first be evaluated by the editor for suitability to the journal. The eligible manuscripts are sent to at least two independent expert referees to evaluate the scientific quality of the manuscript.
4) The Editor-in-Chief evaluates manuscripts independently of the ethnic origin, gender, nationality, religious beliefs and political philosophy of the authors. He/she ensures that the manuscripts submitted for publication undergo a fair double blind peer review.
5) The editor-in-chief does not allow any conflict of interest between authors, editors and referees.
6) The editor is responsible for the final decision regarding the acceptance or rejection of articles. The editor's decision is final.
7) Editors are not involved in decisions about manuscripts written by themselves or by family members or colleagues, or that relate to products or services in which the editor has an interest. Any such submission is subject to all of the journal's usual procedures.

Principles of the Referee Process for the Work of the Editorial Staff
Editorials and analyses written by our journal's own editors are not subject to external peer review. Original research articles are sent to at least two external reviewers as blind reviewers. During this period, the roles of those editors are suspended.

Preliminary Review and Plagiarism Scanning
The manuscript is reviewed by the editor for compliance with the journal's publication principles and academic writing rules and is scanned for plagiarism using the Intihal.net programme. The preliminary review is completed within a maximum of 15 days. The similarity rate must be less than 15%. If the similarity rate is 1% but citation and quotation are not done properly, plagiarism may still be in question. In this respect, citation and quotation rules must be known and carefully applied by the author:

Citation/Indirect Quotation: If a citation is made to an opinion, discussion or determination in a source and the cited opinion is put on the line with the citing researcher's own words, a footnote mark (1) should be placed at the end of the sentence. If the reference is to a certain page or page range of the work, the page number should be given. If there is a reference to the entire work, that is, if the reference is made to a degree that requires the reader to examine the entire work, the source should be indicated in the footnote after the phrase ‘bk. on this subject’, ‘bk. about this opinion’, ‘bk. about this discussion’ or just ‘bk.’.

Quotation/Iquotation: If the relevant part of the source is taken exactly as it is, without touching the point and comma, the quoted part is ‘given in double quotation marks’ and the source is indicated by giving the footnote number1 at the end. Quotations that exist in the directly quoted text are written using ‘single quotation marks’. If the directly quoted part is longer than three lines (more than forty words), it is shown in a separate paragraph. In order to distinguish long quotations from the main text, it should be preferred to write in a font size one smaller than the normal text size and to indent the entire paragraph from the left at the beginning of the line. In direct quotations, some words, sentences and paragraphs may be omitted, provided that they do not change the meaning. Ellipses (...) are placed in place of the omitted parts. It is not correct to write the part quoted verbatim from a source without enclosing it in ‘double quotation marks’ and to be contented with just writing the source at the end. If these rules are not followed, the author may be accused of violation of publication ethics (Plagiarism).

Field Editor Review
The manuscript that passes the Preliminary Review and Plagiarism Scanning stage is examined by the relevant field editor in terms of problematic and academic language and style.

Referee Process (Academic Evaluation)
After being reviewed by the field editor, the manuscript is submitted to the evaluation of at least two external referees who have a doctoral thesis, book or article on the subject. The referee process is carried out in confidentiality within the framework of double blind refereeing. The referee is requested to state his/her opinion and opinion on the manuscript either on the text or justify it with an explanation of at least 150 words on the online referee form. If the author disagrees with the referee's opinion, he/she is given the right to object and defend his/her views. The field editor ensures mutual communication between the author and the referee while maintaining confidentiality. If both referee reports are positive, the manuscript is accepted. If one of the two referees has a negative opinion, the manuscript is sent to a third referee. Studies can be published with the positive decision of at least two referees. The publication of book and symposium reviews and doctoral thesis abstracts is decided after the evaluation of at least two internal referees (relevant field editors and/or members of the editorial board).

Proofreading Phase
If the referees request corrections to be made in the text they have reviewed, the relevant reports are sent to the author and the author is asked to correct his/her work. The author makes the corrections in the Word program with the ‘Track Changes’ feature turned on or indicates the changes in the text in red. Submits the corrected text to the field editor.

Field Editor Control
The field editor checks whether the author has made the requested corrections to the text.

Referee Check
The reviewer checks whether the author has made the requested corrections in the text.

Language Check
The manuscripts whose referee process is completed are examined by the Language Editors and if necessary, the author is asked to make corrections.

Typesetting and Layout Phase
The studies decided to be published by the Editorial Board are prepared for publication by typesetting and layout and sent to the author for review.

Data Submission to National and International Indexes
The data of the published issue is sent to the relevant indexes within 15 days.
