Aim & Scope
Journal of Industrial Engineering (ISSN: 1300-3410) is an international,
peer reviewed journal and started publishing in 1989 by UCLEA Chamber of Mechanical
Engineers. Since then, the journal aimed at
disseminating the latest developments in all areas of industrial engineering
and at bridging the gap between theory and practice.
The journal covers all aspects of Industrial Engineering including
Production Planning and Production Systems, Quality Control, Human Machine Systems (Ergonomics and Work Study), Operations
Research, Stochastic Models, Simulation, Inventory Control, Reliability and
Information Technologies.

Ethical Principles and Publication Policy
ETHICAL RULES
1. Ethics approval is needed for
* Researches using publication on vulnerable populations, policies on consent to publication, handling confidental data and ethical business/marketing practices
* Clinical researches using human subjects,
* Researches using animals
* Retrospective studies in accordance with the law on protection of personal data
Ethics committee approval should be stated and documented in the article.
Information about the approvals (board name, date and number) should be included in the “Method” section of the article and also on the first/last page.
During the artical appload, the Ethics Committee Approval file must be uploaded to the system in addition to the article file.
Case reports must contain the information indicates that the consent form is signed.
2. Information about the approval for the study conducted in a company should be included in the article
3. Permission must be obtained from the owners for the use of scales, questionnaires, and photographs belonging to others and this must be stated in the article (with reference to).
4. As a result of the analysis of the article with iThenticate similarity programs, the total similarity level should be below 25%. All submitted manuscripts are screened for unoriginal material using IThenticate® software. In accordance with the similarity report generated by the software, if the total similarity ratio is over 25%, the Editor requests the revision and re-submission of the paper from the corresponding author.
5. Author, Referee and Editor's compliance with ethical rules
Authors: Only those who have contributed significantly to the research should be listed as coauthors.
Referees: If the referees have any doubts about the conflict of interest, they should consult the Editor regarding the evaluation process. In order to prevent conflict of interest, people working in the same institution with article authors are not selected as referees.
Editors: Editor or Field editor appoints at least 2 (preferably 3) people from different institutions as referees to evaluate the article. The names of the referees who evaluate the articles are not notified to the authors (blind peer review). In addition, referees are guaranteed to evaluate articles without seeing the names of the authors (double-blind peer review). Editor or Field Editor is responsible for managing the referee evaluation process of the articles and they have the right to reject the relevant article in case of any conflict of interest.
6. Articles should include a statement that the Research and Publication Ethics are complied.
7. In scientific articles sent to journals, ICMJE (International Committee of Medical Journal Editors) recommendations and COPE (Committee on Publication Ethics) International Standards for Editors and Authors should be taken into consideration.
8. It is necessary to comply with copyright regulations for the intellectual and artistic works used.
9. At the end of the article; "Contribution of Researchers", if available "Support" or "Acknowledgment" and "Conflict of Interest" statement should be given.
