Then, the articles submitted to the journal are checked with the Ithenticate program (Alternatively, Intihal.net) and the obtained originality reports are examined. The, 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. Manuscripts may be rejected at this stage if they are not suitable, or some revisions may be requested.

If necessary, the number of referees can be increased by editor or Editorial Board. The referees are chosen from referee board according to their expertise. Referees are asked to evaluate the manuscript’s originality, methodology, contribution to the literature, presentation of results and support for the conclusions, and appropriate referencing of previous relevant studies.
