All manuscripts submitted to Colloquium Anatolicum are carefully screened at multiple stages of the editorial and peer review process using plagiarism detection software (iThenticate / CrossCheck).

Authors are responsible for providing complete and accurate citations for all sources used in their work. Direct quotations must be indicated with quotation marks, and all paraphrased or indirect references must be clearly and properly cited.

The following practices are considered ethical violations:

Citation manipulation: Deliberate attempts to increase citation counts of specific authors, journals, or publications.

Self-plagiarism: Reuse of an author’s previously published work without proper attribution.

Data fabrication: The inclusion of data that have not been obtained, and/or the fragmented publication of the same research data across multiple papers.

Data manipulation/falsification: Alteration, omission, or distortion of research data or images in a way that misleads the findings.

Authors are required to upload a similarity report at the time of submission. In addition, studies involving materials from official museums, archives, libraries, or excavations must include the necessary permission documents from the relevant institutions.

In cases of suspected plagiarism, data falsification, or citation manipulation, the Editorial Board of Colloquium Anatolicum follows the guidelines and flowcharts of the Turkish Council of Higher Education’s Directive on Scientific Research and Publication Ethics and the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE).
