Ethical Principles and Publication Policy

The following rules regarding publishing ethics have been prepared. 1) Journal publishing is based on the obligations determined by the “Code of Conduct for Journal Editors (COPE)”, the “Open Access Scholarly Publishers Association (OASPA)”, the “Law on Intellectual and Artistic Works (National Legislation)” and the “Guidelines for Scientific Research and Publication Ethics of Higher Education Institutions”.
2) The editor requests a plagiarism report from the authors of the articles submitted to the journal. After reviewing and approving the plagiarism report, field editors and referees are assigned to the approved articles.
3) For article proposals that involve data collection through surveys, interviews, etc., EBTAD will request an ethics committee approval document from the author before submission. Information regarding the ethics committee document will be presented in the methods section.
4) All articles submitted to EBTAD that do not comply with ethical rules will not be accepted for publication. The evaluation process of articles where ethical violations are detected by the referee will be stopped and returned to the author. Compliance with ethical rules is the responsibility of the authors.
