Ethical Principles and Publication Policy
Erzincan University Journal of the Institute of Science and Technology takes into account the principles published by the Higher Education Institutions Scientific Research and Publication Ethics Directive and the “Committee on Publication Ethics” (COPE). In this context, the issues that are important for the authors, referees and editors are listed below.
A. Authors:
1. The Journal of Erzincan University Institute of Science and Technology accepts all studies submitted to the journal for evaluation only through the system offered by DergiPark. Studies that are sent by mail, fax, e-mail or other means are not taken into consideration.
2. Authors are obliged to prepare their studies in accordance with the format announced on the website of the Journal of the Erzincan University Institute of Science and Technology and to submit all required documents (Copyright Transfer Form, Ethics Committee Approval Certificate, etc.) to the journal. Author names, institution information, contact addresses and ORCID information should be given completely and accurately, in case of a change in this information, the journal authorities should be contacted as soon as possible.

6. The studies submitted for evaluation to the Journal of Erzincan University Institute of Science and Technology should not be sent to another journal for evaluation at the same time, or the work sent to another journal for evaluation should not be sent to the Journal of the Erzincan University Institute of Science for evaluation at the same time. The authors accept this situation when they submit their work to the Journal of Erzincan University Institute of Science and Technology for evaluation.
7. If deemed necessary by the members of the editorial board of the Journal of Erzincan University Graduate School of Sciences or the referees evaluating the work, the authors are obliged to present the raw data of their work.
8. Authors must clearly declare all situations and relationships that may constitute a conflict of interest, if any, in their studies submitted to the Journal of Erzincan University Institute of Science and Technology for evaluation.
9. The authors are entitled to all usage rights, research/analysis/measurement/survey/evaluation/field study/clinical study, etc. on other subjects, they should have documents showing that they have the necessary permissions and should submit them to the journal when requested.
10. Authors can follow the processes related to their studies submitted for evaluation to the Journal of Erzincan University Institute of Science and Technology through the DergiPark system. If they disturb the members of the editorial board with e-mail, telephone and/or other communication channels regarding the status of their work, the evaluation processes of their work can be stopped and terminated.
B. Referees:
1. The scientific content, scientific order, compliance with the principles and standards of the studies submitted for evaluation to the Journal of the Erzincan University Institute of Science and Technology, and whether they are suitable for publication in a way that will be made available to the public and the scientific community are controlled by the referees. Considering these issues and ethical principles, the invitation to arbitrate should be accepted/rejected.
2. Referee invitations and all processes to the Journal of Erzincan University Institute of Science and Technology are made only with the system offered by DergiPark. Referees; Editors, authors, etc. regarding the studies they were invited to evaluate. third parties by telephone, e-mail, fax, etc. If they reach or try to communicate by other means, their arbitration may be deemed invalid. In this context; We evaluated the referees with the "Article Evaluation Form" provided by the Journal of Erzincan University Institute of Science and Technology.
