The Journal of Cukurova University Economics and Administrative Sciences follows the Principles of Transparency and Best Practice in Scholarly Publishing, jointly issued by COPE, DOAJ, OASPA, and WAME, and takes into account the recommendations of the International Committee of Medical Journal Editors (ICMJE).  Please download and complete the Copyright Transfer and Ethics Declaration Form, and upload it to the system at the time of submission once it has been signed by all authors. 📝 CUIIBF_Copyright_and_Ethics_Declaration_Form_EN.docx 

Submitted manuscripts are screened for textual similarity using iThenticate and Turnitin. The Editorial Board assesses the similarity reports, taking into account the nature and context of the matches. A similarity score alone does not establish plagiarism or any other ethical violation. The Editorial Board may reject a manuscript if it finds that the submission violates the journal’s publication ethics standards.

Use of generative AI. Authors must disclose any use of generative AI in preparing their manuscript, including language editing, translation, data analysis, and the creation of visuals. The declaration must name the tool and specify when and for what purpose it was used. Authors must submit a signed AI use declaration together with the ethics declaration at the time of submission. If no generative AI was used, authors must state this in the declaration.

AI tools cannot be listed as authors. Authors are responsible for the originality, accuracy, and scholarly integrity of the entire manuscript, including its data, analyses, citations, and references. They must review and verify all content prepared with AI assistance before submission.

The Editorial Board may ask authors to clarify their use of AI. Scores generated by AI detection tools do not, on their own, establish AI use or an ethical violation and are not used as the sole basis for rejection. Editors and reviewers must protect the confidentiality of manuscripts and the peer review process. Manuscript files and materials related to peer review must not be uploaded to external AI tools.
