Article Review Process
In our journal, the article review process consists of four main stages: preliminary review, peer review, revision, and publication.

1. Preliminary Review
Submitted manuscripts are first evaluated by the editor for compliance with the journal’s publication policies, academic writing principles, and the ISNAD Citation System. At this stage, a similarity check is performed using the İntihal.net software. The similarity rate is expected to be below 20%; manuscripts exceeding this limit are returned to the author with an explanation.

2. Peer Review Process
For manuscripts that meet the preliminary review criteria, a double-blind peer review process is initiated. The manuscript is sent to two independent reviewers who are experts in the field. Throughout the review process, the identities of both the author and the reviewers are kept confidential; the process is conducted in accordance with ethical principles and confidentiality guidelines.
If both reviewers submit positive reports, the work is accepted for publication.
If one of the reviewers submits a negative report, the article is forwarded to a third reviewer for a final decision.

3. Revision Process
If the reviewers request revisions, authors must submit the manuscript with the suggested corrections highlighted in a different color (e.g., red). The changes are first reviewed by the editor and then re-examined by the relevant reviewers.
Manuscripts that have completed the peer review process are also reviewed by the journal’s language editors.
If deemed necessary from a language and spelling perspective, authors are asked to make additional corrections. The linguistic revisions made are rechecked and approved.

4. Publication Process
Articles that have completed all scientific, technical, and linguistic processes are prepared for publication following typesetting and layout. Approved articles are published in the next issue.

NOTE: Final decisions regarding the acceptance or rejection of manuscripts submitted to our journal are made by the Editorial Board.
