The Journal adheres to the principles and guidelines of the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE). All manuscripts must comply with established academic writing conventions, and ethical standards must be observed at all stages of research design, data collection, analysis, and manuscript preparation.
• Manuscripts submitted to the Journal must not have been previously published or be under consideration elsewhere. Submissions must be original works that contribute to the relevant literature.
• All quotations and ideas taken from other sources must be properly cited in accordance with the Journal’s guidelines. All submissions are screened for originality using iThenticate prior to peer review. Manuscripts that fail to meet ethical standards, violate citation conventions, or contain plagiarism, self-plagiarism, or improper citation practices will be rejected.
• Authors must disclose all sources of financial support or research funding. For studies involving human participants or animal subjects, authors must obtain approval from the appropriate institutional ethics committee and state this clearly in the manuscript. Informed consent must be obtained from human participants, and their rights and privacy must be protected.
• Manuscripts are evaluated solely on scholarly merit, without regard to the authors’ identity, gender, nationality, institutional affiliation, or political or personal beliefs. Authors, editors, and reviewers must disclose any potential conflicts of interest. Editors ensure that review assignments are free from such conflicts.
• The views and opinions expressed in published articles are those of the authors and do not necessarily reflect those of the Editors or Çankaya University. The accuracy, language, and legal responsibility for the content of manuscripts rest solely with the authors.
Authorship and Submission
• Manuscripts should present the authors’ own work. By submitting a manuscript, authors confirm that the work is original and has not been previously published; that it is not under consideration elsewhere; that it does not infringe upon copyright, privacy, or other rights; and that any potential conflicts of interest have been fully disclosed.
• The Corresponding Author acts on behalf of all co-authors. All authors share responsibility for the accuracy, integrity, and ethical conduct of the research. The corresponding author is responsible for ensuring that all listed authors have reviewed and approved the manuscript and agree to its submission.
• AI tools should not be listed as authors or co-authors. Any use of artificial intelligence (AI) tools (e.g., ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude or other large language models) in writing, data analysis, or editing must be clearly disclosed. Authors remain fully responsible for the accuracy, integrity, and originality of all submitted content.
