Articles can be submitted to the DUJTECH by registering in the "
Article Management System". Articles sent by e-mail will not be taken into consideration.
Pre-Review and Plagiarism Checking:
The compliance of the article with the spelling rules of the Journal is examined and similarity checks are made to prevent plagiarism. The similarity rate must be at most 20% excluding references, and the similarity rate from a single source must be at most 3%. If the similarity rate is more than 20%, the study is either rejected or sent back to the author to reduce the similarity rate. In case the work is sent to the Author(s) again for the similarity report, the preliminary examination is completed within a maximum of 15 days.
Editorial Process:
After the study passes the preliminary evaluation and similarity check stages, it is reviewed by the Editor-in-Chief in terms of subject, scope, language use and academic adequacy. This review is completed within a maximum of 5 days. The Editor-in-Chief forwards the article to a Section Editor who is an expert on the subject. The Section Editor reviews the article and, if deemed appropriate, assigns at least two reviewers who are experts in their field.
Peer Review Process (Double-Blind Peer Review):
Studies that pass the pre-review and editorial review undergo a confidential double-blind peer review process. Within the double-blind strategy, the identity of the peer reviewer is concealed from the author submitting publications to the journal. Similarly, the peer reviewers do not know who wrote the article they are reviewing. In other words, the peer review process is conducted by keeping both authors and peer reviewers anonymous to each other. The reports are also stored in the Article Management System. At least two reviewers reports are required for the final decision of the article. The reviewers' period of evaluating the article is 15 days.
Author's Revision:
Authors take into account the feedback, criticisms, and recommendations of the reviewer and the Editor. In case of any disagreement, they have the right to appeal with their justifications. Authors edit the article as per the reports and upload the final version of the article to the system. The author is given 15 days for minor revisions and 30 days for major revisions. If requested, this period may be extended by the Editor's decision.
Typesetting and Layout Process:
The typesetting and layout processes of the works decided to be published by the Editorial Board are completed. The article is queued for publication.
