ETHICAL RESPONSIBILITIES OF REVIEWERS

* Ethical Responsibilities for Reviewers Düzce University Journal of Sports Sciences (DUJOSS) uses a double-blind peer review system. Double-blind peer review means that authors are kept anonymous from reviewers and reviewers are kept anonymous from authors to ensure an impartial, objective, and independent evaluation process.

Evaluations and comments are communicated through the journal management system (field editor).

Reviewers must also indicate their decision regarding whether the article is publishable and the rationale for their decision in the Reviewer Evaluation Form.

* Reviewers keep all processes from the acceptance stage to the publication process confidential and do not use or share the information and documents obtained.

* Reviewers are responsible for reporting any unethical situations related to the work to the editor.

* Personal criticism of authors should be avoided, and evaluations should be conducted using a neutral, honest, polite, and constructive language, taking into account scientific principles and fundamentals, without being influenced by individual feelings and thoughts.
