Publication Ethics

The publication processes implemented in the Journal of Science, Mathematics, Entrepreneurship and Technology Education constitute the basis for the development and distribution of knowledge in an impartial and respectful manner.

At this point, it is important for all stakeholders of the process (authors, readers and researchers, publisher, referees and editors) to comply with the standards regarding ethical principles. Within the scope of the publication ethics of the Journal of Science, Mathematics, Entrepreneurship and Technology Education, all stakeholders are expected to carry the following ethical responsibilities.

The ethical duties and responsibilities listed below were prepared by taking into account the guidelines and policies published by the Committee on Publication Ethics (COPE) as open access.

Authors' Ethical Responsibilities

Author(s) who submit a study to the Journal of Science, Mathematics, Entrepreneurship and Technology Education are expected to comply with the following ethical responsibilities:

7-No Double Application: Authors cannot have their work in the application process of more than one journal at the same time. Each application can be started after the completion of the previous application. A work published in another journal cannot be sent to the Journal of Science, Mathematics, Entrepreneurship and Technology Education.
