All sources used in the studies must be cited completely and accurately, in accordance with the journal's spelling rules.

4- Articles sent to the journal are first examined by the editor and the editorial board within the framework of the criteria in question and after being found appropriate, they are scanned for “plagiarism” with the help of various scanning software [currently iThenticate program]. Excluding the bibliography and references, the similarity rate with other texts should not exceed 20% as a result of the scan performed for the main text of the article, without citing the source.

PROCESS OPERATION:
If the "preliminary evaluation" process is completed positively; the article is sent to two referees in accordance with the "blind refereeing" principle. If the two referees express different opinions, a third referee is asked for an opinion.

Articles can be included in the publication program with at least two “positive reports” from the designated scientific advisors/referees. In case the number of positive and negative referee opinions is equal or there are hesitations, the decisions of the Editor and Editorial Board may determine the outcome. During the evaluation process, the author may be asked to make any necessary changes and corrections in the article.

CONFLICT OF INTEREST DECLARATION:
If the researchers and/or experts invited as referees to evaluate the articles to be published in our journal have any conflict of interest with the author(s) of the study they are asked to evaluate, they must notify the editor or journal editor who receives this as soon as possible.
