Ethical Principles and Publication Policy

Erzincan University Journal of Science and Technology has adopted the principle of publishing qualified scientific studies in the fields of science and engineering. In this context the Journal publishes articles in accordance with the principles and guidelines described on the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE: Committee on Publication Ethics) website.

The articles submitted to the journal are checked with the Ithenticate program (Alternatively, Intihal.net) and the obtained originality reports are examined. As of MARCH 1, 2022, studies that do not meet the requirement that the similarity report of the studies submitted to our journal should be less than 30% in total and not more than 5% from a single source will not be considered.

As a result of the detection of cases such as erroneous transfer and distortion of the data created in the articles by the authors, transferring the study without including scientific data, sending the full text of the article published before to our journal. This situation will be reported to the article authors and their work will be rejected. All stakeholders (Editors, Authors, Referees, Publishers and Readers) who contribute to the publication of scientific studies in our journal are expected to comply with the Publication Ethics and Journal Policy. In line with these expectations, the duties and responsibilities of stakeholders are listed below:

A. Authors:

1. The Erzincan University Journal 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 JErzincan University Journal of Science and Technology and to submit all required documents (Copyright Transfer Form, Ethics Committee Approval Certificate, etc.) to the journal.
