Bingol University Journal of Technical Sciences publishes two issues per year.

Scientific articles published in the journal must be written in English or Turkish.

The following points must be followed under the heading of ethical rules.

1- Separate ethics committee approval must be obtained for research conducted in all branches of science, including social sciences, and for clinical and experimental studies on humans and animals that require an ethics committee decision, and this approval must be stated and documented in the article.

2- Under this heading, information about ethical rules must be provided under separate headings for the referee, author and editor.

3- Articles should include a statement indicating that Research and Publication Ethics have been complied with.

4- Ethical principles should be stated under a separate heading in the journal and/or web page, referring to national and international standards. For example; in scientific articles sent to journals, the recommendations of ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) and the International Standards for Editors and Authors of COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) should be taken into consideration.

5- In studies requiring ethics committee approval, information regarding the permission (board name, date and issue number) should be included in the method section and also on the first/last page of the article.

Our journal expects authors, readers, researchers, referees and editors to comply with the principles regarding ethical rules during the publication process of the studies. In these studies, attention should be paid to the standard, general and specific ethical rules and responsibilities shared below, according to the open access guidelines published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).

I. General actions against scientific research and publication ethics

a) Plagiarism: Presenting the ideas, methods, data, applications, writings, figures or works of others as one's own work, partially or completely, without citing them in accordance with scientific ethical rules,

b) Forgery: Producing data not based on research, editing or changing the presented or published work based on false data, reporting or publishing these, presenting a research that has not been conducted as if it has been conducted,

c) Distortion: Falsifying research records and obtained data, presenting methods, devices and materials 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 or results to fit the relevant theory or assumptions, falsifying or shaping research results in line with the interests of persons and organizations from which support is received,

ç) Duplicate publication: Presenting more than one work containing the same results of a research as separate works in associate professorship exam evaluations and academic promotions,

d) Slicing: Separating the results of a research into pieces in an inappropriate manner and citing each other in a way that disrupts the integrity of the research presenting as separate works in certain exam evaluations and academic incentives and promotions by publishing numerous publications without doing so,

e) Unfair authorship: Adding people who do not actively contribute to the article as authors, not including people who do actively contribute among the authors, changing the author order in an unjustified and inappropriate manner, removing the names of those who actively contribute 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 not actively contributed,

f) Other types of ethical violations: Not clearly stating the supporting persons, institutions or organizations and their contributions in the publications of research conducted with support, not complying with ethical rules in research conducted on humans and animals, not respecting patient rights in publications, sharing information in a work that one has been assigned to review as a referee with others before publication, using resources, places, facilities and devices provided or allocated for scientific research for purposes other than intended, making completely unfounded, unfounded and intentional accusations of ethical violation (YÖK Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Directive, Article 8)

II. Responsibilities of Stakeholders
