Articles sent to BULSODER for publication are first checked by the editor. Studies that do not pass this stage are returned to the author without being directed to the field editors or sent to the author with a request for change. Reasons for return or change may include reasons such as the article's similarity report being over 20%, ethical principles not being followed, being inadequate in terms of spelling and language, and being outside the purpose and scope of the journal.
Articles that pass the first stage are directed to the relevant field editor in line with the appropriate opinions of the editorial board. The editorial board stated that the study was insufficient, ethical violation, etc. may refuse to work for any reason. The relevant study is returned to the author(s).
Articles that pass the second stage are directed by field editors to referees who are experts in the relevant field for evaluation. A double-blind referee system is used in this process. If necessary, the study may be sent to a third referee for evaluation. Works deemed inadequate by the referees are rejected. Rejected studies are returned to the author(s).
Articles that pass the third stage are corrected in line with the referee suggestions. In this process, studies that do not make corrections, are deemed to be inadequate, or are deemed inadequate in the second/third referee evaluation are rejected. Rejected studies are returned to the author(s).
Articles that pass the fourth stage are queued for publication by the journal board. The process is carried out in a transparent manner by including the article arrival date and article acceptance date information on the journal page of accepted articles. The publication process is initiated based on the acceptance date of the relevant studies.
The Copyright Transfer Form for the articles queued for publication is signed by all authors included in the article and sent to the journal's e-mail address (bulsoder@alparslan.edu.tr). If the relevant form is not sent, the article is returned to the author. The copyright form can be accessed from the journal's "Forms" menu (Copyright Transfer Form is sent to the journal's e-mail address after the article is accepted. There is no obligation to upload it to the system for the first submission).
