2- EVALUATION OF THE ARTICLE
There are 4 main stages in the evaluation of an article submitted to Çankaya University Journal of Science and Engineering.
| 1- Pre-Evaluation Process | | A Field Editor is assigned to the article based on the subject area. This Field Editor performs a pre-evaluation of the article submitted by the author in accordance with the "Aim and Scope" and "Publication Policies" of the journal. Articles considered suitable are then sent to at least two referees. |
| 2- Evaluation by the Referees |
| The referees evaluate the scientific content of the article in a double blind review process and provide a detailed referee report to the field editor. |
| 3- Final Decision Process |
In accordance with the evaluations made by the referees, the Field Editor recommends a publication decision such as “accept”, “minor revisions”, “major revisions” or “reject” together with an evaluation report. Based on this recommendation, the Editor-in-Chief performs the final acceptance decision and sends the decision letter to the authors.
Note that revised articles follow the same procedure. |
Accepted papers will be sent for English proofreading and final editing. A final proof will be provided to the authors for verification. After these steps are completed, the papers will be published online in one of the forthcoming issues of the journal.
