The blind peer-reviewing process is operated in our journal. In order for an article to be published, it is necessary to have the opinion of the referee that it can be published by at least two referees. Each anonymous article without author information is directed to 2 referees after editorial review. If two referees give a positive opinion, the article is accepted for publication. If one of the referees gives a positive opinion and the other a negative opinion about the article, the article is directed to the third referee. The process related to the article is completed with the opinion of the third referee. Referee evaluations are shared with the author. The author should make corrections on the article according to the evaluations of the referees and upload the corrected version of the article to the system. In studies that require the permission of the ethics committee, it should be stated that the ethical rules are followed by specifying the date and number of the ethics committee document in the method section of the article. After the evaluation process is completed, the articles accepted for publication should be finalized by the author(s) and uploaded to the journal site by adding the author's information.

Candidate articles with a similarity rate above this value are directly rejected. A candidate article may be rejected by the decision of the Editorial Board or the Field Editor before the referee review process begins or without being evaluated if it does not comply with the article template and writing rules of the ÇYBD.
