THE EVALUATION OF PAPERS
Submission Guidelines: To submit a paper to the journal, authors should register themselves using the following registration page https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/culture. Authors should guarantee that they do not send their articles for publication elsewhere.

Editorial Board: The editorial board consists of the chief editor, field editors, and assistant editors. Articles uploaded to the system are subject to preliminary evaluation by the editorial board. The committee detects whether the articles have been previously published elsewhere and if the article is the reproduction of the thesis, whether the text is a copy of any part of the thesis. In addition, in this process, the results of the plagiarism of the articles are checked with Turnitin and iThenticate. These controls are carried out in order to verify the originality of the articles to be published in the journal. The editorial board also makes a preliminary assessment of the compliance of the articles with the journal’s publication principles. Manuscripts that do not meet these criteria may be rejected by the board or corrections may be requested. The articles whose preliminary evaluation is positive are forwarded to the editorial board for evaluation. The submission period of the articles from the editorial board to the broadcasting board takes two weeks at the latest.

Advisory Board: Advisory Board evaluates the articles accepted by the editors in the preliminary evaluation. They check for alignments between the form and content of the articles and the journal’s stated principles, purpose, and scope. The articles approved in terms of subject, methodology, format features, and publication ethics are sent to the referees determined by the editorial board. Manuscripts that are not qualified enough in terms of language use, contain scientifically critical errors, and do not comply with publication principles are rejected by the editorial board. Rejected manuscripts are notified to the authors with the committee report within two weeks at the latest after the editorial board meeting.

Peer Review Process: Articles that pass pre-assessment of the Editorial Board are sent to two referees at least in order to evaluate. This journal uses a double-blind review, which means that both the reviewer and author identities are concealed from the reviewers, and vice versa, throughout the review process. To facilitate this, authors need to ensure that their manuscripts are prepared in a way that does not give away their identity. The referees evaluate the articles in terms of their contribution to national and universal science and compliance with ethical principles, spelling and writing rules, style and expression, literature review, method, findings, and results. Referees have the authority of evaluating, approving, and not publishing articles. The duration of evaluation by the referee takes one month. After completing the Referee Evaluation Report, referees will ask authors to revise articles, papers are sent back and authors make necessary corrections within two weeks. The reviewers have the right to check the new version of the articles after the corrections have been made.

Authors consider referee’s criticisms, proposals, and revision requests. If there are issues with which authors disagree about referees’ decisions, they have the right to object with their reasons. In this case, the final decision is always taken by the Editorial Board.

Decision: Manuscripts approved by two referees will be accepted for publication. Articles that receive a negative report from two referees will be declined. In case of a negative evaluation of one of the referees, the manuscript is sent to a third referee. If the third referee also reports a negative result, the article is rejected by the editorial board. Reviewers may request revisions to papers. Referee reports are delivered to the author and after the papers are revised in accordance with the reports, they go to the publishing stage. Referee reports are kept for 6 years. The names of referees in the relevant issue are included in the relevant issue of the journal collectively.

Transfer of Copyrights: In order to protect the rights of both authors and publishers, the author must give a legal permission document through the web address of the journal. The copyright of the published articles is supposed to be transferred to the Journal of Culture and Civilization.

Publication Process: The accepted articles are typed. After completing the DOI procedures, the DOI number on the cover page of each paper, the submission, acceptance, and publication dates of the study are added and published online at https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/culture.
